North Carolina's First Bass Fishing Club – Est 1970
Our year came to a close at Middleburg Steakhouse this past weekend. The Feast of Middleburg gives us all a chance to socialize without the worry of giving up fishing secrets. It also helps to have a few drinks and awesome steak – all compliments of the club. 37 of us thoroughly enjoyed the wine […]
Continue ReadingOur final tournament on the year took place this past Sunday, as a make-up for the cancelled Falls Lake tourney. Blue skies and COLD temps greeted the anglers, causing problems for most, but NOT for all…. Zack wrapped up a great weekend winning the Sunday tournament by nearly 5 lbs. His 13.59 lb limit included […]
Continue ReadingSaturday greeted the anglers with the remnants of tropical storm Nicole, which really amounted to not much. Clouds gave way to sunny skies for the afternoon. Linnie paced the anglers bringing in a limit weighing 12.41 lbs Zack grabbed second place with 4 fish for 10.14 lbs including the day’s big fish of 4.5 lbs. […]
Continue ReadingThe club returned to Lake Mayo for the first time in ???, nobody really knows. At least a decade, maybe more. We were greeted by the lake’s crystal clear water and HUNGRY fish. The anglers caught dozens of fish on the day, though most were of the smallish variety. Many limits were brought to the […]
Continue ReadingA smaller than normal crew headed to Lake Jordan for the 10th tournament of the year. Blue skies made the bite tough for most, but a few brought some nice fish to the scales. Ethan took home the Win with the day’s only limit of 16.41 lbs. David had 4 fish for 11.12 for 2nd […]
Continue ReadingThe crew once again gathered select family and friends to head “down” to Chowan to fish our Fall trailer tournament. 18 members made the trip, along with 7 guests, leaving us with 25 anglers on day 1 and still 23 on day 2. Despite tough Sunday conditions, that group managed to weigh in 102 fish […]
Continue ReadingMostly sunny skies and warm temps greeted us for our last tourney before we take a couple months off. Fishing seemed like it would be good, as long as you could keep the pleasure boaters from breaking your back. Greg once again took the victory. His 15.71 lb sack was anchored by the day’s big […]
Continue ReadingOnce again it looked like a perfect day to go fishing, and the end of day results proved that to be true. Only one issue – TRAFFIC. A trail with over 70 boats scheduled their tourney the same day as ours, but that wouldn’t hinder the start of our day. We blasted at 5:15a, just […]
Continue ReadingThis year we brought back an old club tradition where the anglers take their ladies out for a (half) day on the lake. It lets the guys be guides for a day, and lets their wives better understand the highs and lows of fishing. Couple that with a picnic for everyone afterwards and you have […]
Continue ReadingIt finally happened! The weather was lined up to have a massive slugfest on Kerr. Or at least that’s what it looked like on paper, or if your name was Greg or Barry. For the rest of us the day left much to be desired when all was said and done. Our 19 anglers (smallest […]
