Make sure to get your sports physical complete and sent in to the office, as well as signing the insurance waiver and other forms in the packet you were given.

Effective this week, if any student is marked ineligible three(3) times before Sectionals, that student will no longer be allowed to fish at Sectionals.

We now have a definitive AoY Points leader, a slight added gap between 4th and 5th, as well as a change in 7th and 8th. It's definitely early and anything can happen once we hit the water in March, but the Points race is already heating up!

Breakdown for points:

Practice - 3pts

BPS Angler's Arena - 5pts

Tournaments - Points based on placing/creel weight

     1st Place - 10pts + 1pt for each pound of fish

     2nd Place - 9pts + weight

     3rd Place - 8pts + weight

     etc. with a minimum points being 5 total




Why are points important?

     Remember, the top 4 AoY points scorers the week of Sectionals will be on the Sectional team. Guaranteed, assuming they are eligible to compete. This comes with a chance to fish at State, as well as a bid for the Angler of the Year title!

Practices have commenced for our 2014 season. We WILL have practice EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY, 3:30-5:00, on days when school is in session.

If you did not attend our first practice, you had better start showing up!

Points are currently up to date, and will be regularly updated (once or twice per week). Remember, top 4 points scorers are basically guaranteed a spot in the Sectional team. If you don't show up for practice, you don't get the points, and you will be unlikely to be selected to go to Sectionals and (hopefully!) State.

Remember to keep coming to practice! Also, if you think you might be far from that "magic" Top 4, just know that ONE great tournament could potentially skyrocket you much higher up! The points race is definitely still ANYBODY'S game!

Destination: Banner Marsh (Main)

Bus departure: 0645
                    Don't be late, BE EARLY!

Launch: 0800

Boat Rosters:

Schweizer
0800 - 1100: Thomas/Pratt
1100-1400: Mustread

Tucker
0800-1100: Grimm/Hahn
1100-1400: Brinson/McKeever

Weigh-in/Paper Tallying: 1400

Arrive home approx. 1500

This makes FOUR(4) separate teams. Papers will be tracked for each (all fish 12-18" must be measured, recorded, and immediately released). Fish 10-12" and 18"+ may be kept in the livewell, but your top 5 (weight) count toward your team's total creel. Captains may fish, but theirs do not count toward team points.

1st Place Team - 5pts + Creel
2nd Place Team - 4pts + Creel
3rd & 4th Team - 3pts + Creel
BIG BASS - 3pts to INDIVIDUAL who brings it in
**If no bass are caught, teams still receive 3pts

Remember, if you do not show, for any reason other than an emergency (let Coach S know ASAP about emergencies), you will be immediately disqualified from fishing with us again until next year. It is officially past the drop point for anything other than emergencies.

Looking forward to an awesome day on the water.
Time to WHACK~N~STACK!
