Important Information to All Members

 FYI, when your clubs pays your state dues they should send a list to Mike Hoffarth with the money and a updated club roster with all members name, address, phone numbers, BASS number, Expire date, what they are (Boater / Non-Boater) and an e-mail address if possible. The club also needs to send in monies to Ma BASS for there national dues with the proper paper work. Once this has been checked I will then update the system to show that the club and its members and current. If you are having problems or concers with this call me at 520-975-3405 or e-mail me.  I have tried to get everyones e-mail address up to date, if some of the members are not getting any information and I do not have there e-mail address or the correct one please let me know so as I can add them. I try to be as updated as possible with everyones information, but as you all know mistakes do happen. As you all now have heard the Feb 23rd Tournament has been change to Martinez. As Kip has stated that back in Jan the members were looking to go to Rosy (Permit pending) however at this time the permit was not issued and Martinez was the back up. With Steve Peugh out (at this time - with major surgey - get well soon) Rich Stringer has stepped up to help out (Thank you Rich for your help). Rich knows how to go about getting permits and knows the people at these lakes (has he deals with them all of the time).  Yes the lake might clear up in the next week or so, however that does not change the fact about the permit. I know that some of you have reserved  rooms at Rosy (Non-Refundable) and have been practing for this tmx and for that I am sorry that the change was made. Kip and the other board members try there best to help everyone that is part of this federation. This is not easy sometimes and I myself would not want to put someone or there equipment an any danger. Now on to the tournament, if you would please let me know if you are planning to fish Martinez and who your partner is, that would help in getting the draw going for the Feb 20th meeting.   If you have any questions or comments please let me know, Don Sebastian

Update: February Tournament Information

Kip called me this morning and asked me to send you all an update regarding the Feb 23rd tournament. This tournament has been changed from Roosevelt Lake to Martinez (same Date) this change was due in part to the debris that is in Roosevelt Lake at this time and the poor fish catch count at this time. Acting tournament director Rich Stringer will inform us of other updates.
