Contest October 1, 2006
Brainerd Lakes Bassmasters Fishing Contest Planned Sunday October 1st
There will be an unsanctioned fishing contest for all BLB Members from Noon to 4pm on Hammel Lake Sunday October 1st.
Everyone attending will toss in $10. At the 4pm weigh-in each member will weigh-in up to five fish. The top two bags will take 70%/30% respectively. This will not be a “team” event. Each member will be fishing as an individual. We need to know how many people will be participating in order to organize who will bring boats. Please arrive at the landing no later than 11:30am. There will be no pre-fishing allowed on Sunday the 1st.
If you plan on participating please call Jim on his cell 218-839-4297.
Following the contest we’ll hang out for a impromptu picnic at Craigs. Please bring your own drinks (because this is a non-sanctioned tournament refreshments will also be allowed in the boats on this day), and bring your own “tube steak” (hot dog/brat/polish sausage) to toss on the grill. Craig will provide the buns, condiments and chips. We would ask that everyone throws in a couple bucks to help Craig pay for those items.

Words from the President
The Brainerd Lakes Bassmasters fifth year is now in the books. And it was another good year. A quick check of the year end standings shows there were many limits brought to the scales.
This was the case in our final tournament on North Long. It was a very windy day. There was a bit of a chill in the air. Trolling motor batteries took a beating. Still, each boat managed to put a limit of largemouth bass in the livewell.
Taking home first place trophies was the team of Scott and Justin. They mainly fished a main lake point. Scott also boated the big bass for the day. Congratulations to Scott and Justin!
Coming in second were Tom and Larry. They pretty much fished all over the main lake, with most of their fish also coming off a point. Good job guys.
Keith successfully defended his Angler of the Year title. That is no easy feat. There is no doubting the good year he had--with three wins. Way to go, Keith.
Some more congrats are in order. Chad finished fourth in the state alternate's tournament on Lake Alexander. This meant he was able to advance on to the State Bass Tournament of Champions. Congratulations to Chad. Our state team of Keith, Jim, Kim, and Troy had a good state tournament on Gull. The team represented us well, and we should be proud of them. So congratulations to them.
There will be some upcoming events. October 1 will be a mini-tournament on Hammel Lake. Our year end party is scheduled for October 8, 2:00 PM, at Chad and Mandee's. Bring a dish to pass and your own beer. Year end awards will be presented. Finally, I am looking at calling a meeting of the club for the final Sunday in October. We will need to get our initial state roster together at that time, plus elect officers for the new year.
I would like to thank Kim for all the work she has done in putting together our newsletters for the year and for keeping track of the standings. Thank you to Jim for serving as our tournament director. The digital scale was a great addition. And thanks to Scott for managing our finances. These three put in a lot of work this year.
Again, it was a great year. I am already looking forward to year six.
