Happy New Year Bass Jon’s!!! On behalf of all the officers, we would like to welcome everyone, both returning and new members, to our 8th year. We have a full slate of 16 tourneys plus the annual club classic this year. For those wishing to join in on the fun and excitement that we have, please email Jerry Patterson at the email address listed below. For current members that have not yet done so please go to the club message board and post your intent to return (or not) as a member, we cannot know how many new members we can take in without having an accurate count of how many slots we have open.
Our annual club meeting is just around the corner at 1pm on January 16, 2010 at Oceans East in Virginia Beach on Northhampton Blvd. We will have many administrative items to go over including changes to the by-laws and the schedule. We currently have the dates and have been working on the bodies of water during the last 3-4 weeks. We hope to have several viable options to be voted on during the meeting. If anyone has any ideas/suggestions about the schedule or anything else please email Jerry, Rick or Mike so we can add it to the agenda for the meeting.
The 2nd annual Bass Jon’s Winter series is in full swing. Our next tourney is on January 16th from sunrise to noon at Lake Smith. Go to the intents board if you have an open backseat or are looking for a backseat. Remember a Bass Jon’s member must be in the boat to compete in our winter series. The competition has been heating up with Mike P taking the lead from Luther S at the last tourney (held on Lake Meade). Come on out and freeze your bass off.
I know we are all anxiously awaiting the re-opening of Burnt Mills. The City of Norfolk has updated the project bulletin to show a completion date of Winter 2010. Lets hope all this weather (rain and snow) can slow down and let them finish so we can all get back out there and enjoy this awesome fishery. For those who haven’t yet fished it, you will love it.
Everyone please visit the sponsor link on the website, to check out our sponsors: Stockton Remodeling, and Alluring Baits.
One final note—Everyone please check your fishing license for the expiration date, Virginia now does a full year from the date of purchase, but many of us all expire at the end of December because of the old system. The 2010 boat permits are also available, go buy yours now.
