WE ARE A DRAW CLUB. AT EACH MEETING WE DRAW NAMES OF THE BOATERS AND PAIR THEM UP WITH
NON-BOATERS. THIS PROVIDES OUR MEMBERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO FISH WITH A WIDE RANGE OF
PARTNERS, AND SHARE SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES IN DIFFERENT STYLES OF BASS FISHING. AT EACH MONTHLY
TOURNAMENT WE FISH DIFFERENT LAKES OR RAMPS. WE HAVE TWO HIGHLIGHT EVENTS THAT INCLUDE OUR
TWO DAY TOURNAMENT AT CLEWISTON ON LAKE OKEECHOBEE . AND OUR CLUB CLASSIC THAT WILL BE HELD
IN NOVEMBER, FEATURING OUR TOP TEN IN POINTS.

THE TOURNAMENT ENTRY FEES ARE $30.00 PER TOURNAMENT. PLUS WE HAVE AN OPTIONAL WINNER TAKE ALL
CALCUTTA OF $5.00. 90 PERCENT OF THE ENTRY FEES ARE PAID BACK AT EACH TOURNAMENT. WE PAYOUT
FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, AND BIG BASS. BASED ON TOTAL WEIGHT OF FISH CAUGHT. WE ALSO PAY BACK THE TOP
THREE TEAMS. THIS IS BASED ON TOTAL WEIGHT PER BOAT. POINTS ARE ASSIGNED EACH MONTH BASED ON
HOW YOU FINISH IN A TOURNAMENT. POINT TOTALS ARE USED TO DETERMINED THE ANGLER OF THE YEAR,

WE HAVE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET IN ON A PIECE OF THE ACTION. BUT
MORE IMPORTANT WE WANT TO PROMOTE THE SPORT OF BASS FISHING,
