Dr. Phil Moy of the Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute kicked of a joint venture grant project between the TBF and the Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute with a conference call to all the participants last Wednesday morning.
The Bass Federation of South Carolina held their 1st Annual “Mr. Lake Murray” Bass tournament this past Saturday out of Dreher Island State Park. In all 104 anglers would take to the lake to test their skills and compete for the $5000 first place prize. Lake Murray did not disappoint as many heavy bags would be weighed in.
September 24, 2010 – A late take-off this morning due to weather and safety issues sent some out with a rocky start. Others were consistent with their five bass sacks and prevailed. 14 anglers advance today to the 2011 Federation National Championship to compete for their share of nearly a quarter of a million in cash and prizes. The national champion will earn the chance to “Live the Dream” fishing on the FLW Pro circuit for a year all entry fees paid with use of a wrapped Ranger Boat and Chevrolet truck. Today, nearly $19,000 was awarded to the state teams in prize money, trophies and Ranger Cup, Lowrance and big bass bonuses.
September 23, 2010 – Jay Clingenpeel from Bridgeport, W.V., captured the lead today in the individual standings with the tournaments biggest stringer. He had a limit that weighed 18lb 8ounces making his two-day total 27lb 4ounces. Clingenpeel seems to have figured it out. “Fishing today went really, really well,” Clingenpeel said. “Between these two days I’ve put it together; I just hope they hold up again tomorrow.” Clingenpeel thanked his luck of the draw. “Both days I had great partners. With TBF’s boater, non-boater system we really could just work together as a team out there, and that’s just what we did.” He has never advanced to the Federation National Championship and his eyes are really on the prize. “It’s been my dream; I really want to make it to nationals.” Tomorrow we’ll see if he’s got enough up his sleeve to do just that.
