March 21 is the date for the Club’s first Sunday Tournament to be held at Sangchris Lake. Hours have been set from 6:30AM to 3PM. Each angler will be fishing for three fish total, with size limits of one fish 15 inches or greater and two fish under 15 inches. We will take off from Strawkas Point Ramp located just off IL-104.
Casey Roofing and Strong Concrete are the sponsors for the event.
Here are the anglers in order of take-off:
Jerry and Chris Martoglio
Jason and Clint Horner
James Hurt and Adam Stark
Pat Welch and Larry Reece
Scott Bree and Keith Bahler
Jack Menssen and Jason Estes
Marvin and Rod Cooke
Jamie Maisenbacher and Tim Mott
Fred and Chase Myers
Brian and Braden McDaniels
Dusty Whitaker and Mike Campbell
AJ Bailey and Keith Drake
Dave Whalen
Andy Wegner and Tristan Smith
Ken and Erik Petersen
Scott Bree walked away with this one with 8.54 pounds anchored by the event’s big bass of 5.85 pounds! Scott used a jig to secure the win, and no doubt a timber pig as well. We’ll hear his top-secret baits at the April 7th meeting where he’ll receive his awards.
Dusty Whitaker brought up 7.41 pounds for second place and Andy Wegner edged in third with 7.32 pounds. Dusty is an old hand from the Ever-Bloom circuit who’s joined our ranks and is off to an awesome start. And what would a tournament write-up be without our own Andy Wegner mentioned in there.
Our thanks to Strong Concrete and Casey Roofing for sponsoring our first Sunday tournament. Be sure to extend your thanks and business to them throughout the year.

Moving from our normal lakes and reservoirs to the running current and flying carp infested waters of the Illinois River proved to be nothing the club couldn’t handle. Twelve teams launched from the Liverpool access to the low waters of the river. At take-off, the river was between 6 and 7 feet down, closing off some anglers to honey-hole backwaters. To add to the fun, Havana had the boat races on tournament day which resulted in a closure from there to Spoon River.
Pre-fishing reports weren’t giving many high hopes for limits, even with the 12-inch minimum length. Post-tournament results spoke to the contrary, as 13 limits were brought in. 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 »

“We Came, We Fished, It Blew”
There’s nothing like a good strong Central Illinois wind to suck the fun out of a tournament day, and by God, we had it today. 30 mph constant wind with 40+ mph gusts kept our anglers busy on trolling motors and less able to fish. Water temps have climbed over the past few days, with some reports of 63 to 67 degree temps. 13 boats braved the gale force winds, but despite valiant efforts, out of 24 anglers, only 11 prevailed with bass. Statements like “I need a beer and an ibuprofen” were common at the events conclusion. Some members noted they were still bobbing even on land. There will be a signifigant drain on the power grid once all the trolling motor batteries are plugged in, too!

On Sunday, April 5, the Bloomington-Normal Bass Club tested its mettle against Clinton Lake. There were 13 registered boats and 24 anglers on Central Illinois largest lake. Launch was at 6:45am and ran to 3:15pm, with take-off leaving from the Clinton Marina. The forecast was for rain and thundershowers all day, but the weather held out until 2:30 PM when the heavy rains hit. Winds were 20 to 30 MPH all day which made hole-sitting just that much tougher.
The Club anglers prevailed with 6 limits of 3 fish weighed in. It took 10-pounds plus to place in the money showing that the big bite was on. Andy Wegner claimed first place with a total weight of 10.26 pounds, followed closely by James Hurt’s second place sack bringing 10.17 pounds, anchored by the event’s big bass of 5.56 pounds. Jamie Maisenbacher rounded out the top three with a bag tipping the scales at 10.08 pounds. Just out of the money was Ken Petersen at 10.04 pounds anchored by another nice bass at 5.31 pounds.
Congrats to all anglers who participated and braved the elements!
