Remember the weather we had at Spring Lake on Sunday? It wasn’t sticking around for Tuesday. Heavy rains and storms were in the area again, but that didn’t stop ten teams from taking to the lake and showing what they had. Read the rest of this entry »

…And the South shall rise again!
Unbelievably great weather conditions lead to the best tournament this year at Spring Lake on May 24. Mostly sunny skies, light breezes and NO RAINS were enjoyed by our club for the first time in a tournament this year. And it showed at the weigh-in. We had an incredible 32 members fish and only a few (4) didn’t have fish. Let’s dive in and recount the day… Read the rest of this entry »

Record turnout for teams, not for fish.
Sure you can put twenty teams of the regions finest anglers out on Lake Bloomington. Does that mean you will have a weigh-in that defies all previous knowledge of the lake? Not tonight. Of the twenty two-angler teams, five, yes five (5) fish were weighed at the scales. Of course, two of them were five-pound-class fish, which made for a tight race. Read the rest of this entry »

Hopes were high for a big sack event Tuesday at Evergreen. Hopes were painfully crushed in just three short hours.
High winds again greeted the anglers of the BNBC at Evergreen. We seem to have less-than-stellar luck with weather at the lake this year, but we fight through it. Seventeen boats gave it their all for the evening, but the lake was’t giving it up. Thirteen of the angler teams came back reeking of skunk, but we later learned the smell was Martoglio’s saugeye carcasses in the trash cans. Thanks, Jerry.

For your perusal, I’ve posted two new photo albums today. One is for the IHSA Sectional that was here at Evergreen, the other is for the Sunday tourney we had at Evergreen. I’ve used a different format, and I’m curious to know if you like it or not.
This format, thumbnail to large image, does save me some time in preparing the pages. I personally think they are a more attractive display, but I need your opinions. Comment on this post and let me know what you’d change, if anything, or if I have found the right stuff. Additionally, let me know if photos are a priority in your viewing of the website.
Just so you are aware, photos will always take a backseat to results postings and new club info. That’s mainly because each album takes about one hour to develop, based on 8 to 10 photos, and the fact I do this crap for free on my time (unfortunately, I can’t do it at work due to certain restrictions!).
Post your comments and I’ll listen. - James

After a month of single-fish weigh-ins, the tides turned on Tuesday night when Jamie Maisenbacher and Scott Bree threw the gauntlet and put four in the boat. They brought a total weight of 9.87 pounds to the scales, smashing all previous event total weights by a solid three pound margin. The anglers declined commenting on their winning pattern.

The Bloomington-Normal Bass Club anglers have been working on breaking the five fish weigh-in at Dawson Lake for a month to no avail. 12 teams fished in light mist and fog, because what would a BNBC tournament be without some precipitation? We’ll let you know when it happens… Read the rest of this entry »
