Congratulations goes out to Ethan Compton for winning the State Casting Kids event for his age group.  He will go to Alabama for the Nationals.  The clubs wishes Ethan the best.

This years Casting Kids will be held April 26 & 27 at the fairgrounds.  The club voted on buying another plat form to help get more kids through.  We are trying to have a boat inspection also.

The first tournament is March 15 & 16 at Brownlee, we are using Mini-Cassia's permit, so there is no off limits.  The club voted on buying a roll of clear wrap to go around the whole gazebo to keep warmer this year at the BBQ.  We will have hot dogs, hamburgers and all the fixings and pot luck on everything else.
The weigh-in will be at 3:30 first day & 12:00 the second day.  You can pay an extra $5.00 for a second big fish pay out.  The entry fee is $35.00 for MVBM, if you are a member you can play for the entry & added  money, if not a member you can only play for the entry money.  The entry fee for Mini-Cassia is $25.00 with a $10.00 Option pot.  There will be a 2 day total weight with 1 payout

The club voted on a new rule;  For members only special rule:
3 people in a boat only if your partner is unable to fish a tournament.  This nonboater can pay $35.00 and be able to win half the pot.  If a boater shows up with out a nonboater, they have the option to pay $35.00 ot $70.00 for 1/2 the pot or full pot.

The club also voted on paying  2 Big Fish places, pay out to be 60/40 and with the big fish gets the plaque.
