Bass Pursuit Fishing League

[Traz]

After a very successful first season, we are back for more. Only 72 more days till bass opener. We will have our preseason meeting on Thursday March 22nd at 6:30 pm at Carbonne's pizza in Burnsville, MN (251 West Burnsville Parkway). Topics to discuss will be: preseason tourney on the river or WI, 6 or 7 week season, and lake designation.

If you are unfamiliar with Bass Pursuit, here is a little about us.

After several years of being in weeknight leagues and getting frustrated with fighting to get done with work on time, battling traffic only to get to a lake full of boaters and fighting the sunset to only turn around and go home and not make it to bed till late. We decided to start our own league. We took what we liked and didn't like from all the other leagues we had been in and incorporated it into probably the most fun we had fishing last year. I've even noticed other leagues copying alot of our same format.

We fish sunday mornings from dawn till 11:30. It seems to be the quietest time on the lake and we are done soon enough that we still have enough day left to get things done and get off the lake before it is overrun with recreational boaters.

We have 100% payouts. We have a one time fee for the whole season that is divided into a weekly payout and an end of the year league champion. Points are rewarded for what place you finish each week and are accumulated throughout the year. And if you can't make a certain week, we throw out everyone's lowest one week score. So you are not penalized for missing that one week or if you have just one of those days. We concentrate on more of the southwest twin cities lakes like Waconia, O'Dowd, Minnetonka, Marion, Crystal, etc.

We have an electronic scale we use, not someone's fish scale hanging a bag from. We make sure all fish are released alive and well. At the weigh-in we always hang out and discuss what we learned that day. We have a great group of guys and we would like to expand.
