2018 Season Approaching Quickly

Well, 2017 came and went. And, man, it flew by!

2018 2018 is now upon us and we are already into February. Before we know it, we will be on the water again, pursuing those elusive green fish that we love to chase. And, as always, SRIBA will be together again, competing on a friendly level, enjoying the camaraderie and fellowship of the members.

2018 promises to be an interesting season. We will have two new members, one of which has never fished in a club and has also never owned a bass boat until just recently. His name is Matt and we’re glad to have him on board with us.

Kevin will also be joining us for 2018. Kevin has fished in many tourneys on the club level and in open tournaments as well. Kevin decided he wanted a more laid back Continue reading →

2016 is behind us. 2017 stands in front of us.

We will be starting a new tournament season in April. 2016 was a different kind of season. It was the first time in SRIBA history that we canceled a tournament due to bad weather and didn’t make up for it later on. So we finished the season with only 8 regular tournaments, instead of the usual 9.

2017 will also be a season of firsts. It will be the first season that we have started after having a club member pass away. As mentioned in another post, Ed Leitz passed away after a lengthy battle with autoimmune disorder. He will be missed for sure.

Another first for the 2017 season will be Continue reading →

On Sunday, December 11, SRIBA lost club member Ed Leitz, who passed away after a lengthy battle with autoimmune disease 🙁

Ed joined SRIBA several years ago and immediately plugged in to the club. He was a perfect fit and was well liked by everyone. He was a good competitor and always did his best to bring bass to the scale for our weigh-ins, keeping everyone on their toes.

During the 2016 season Ed had a couple of really great tournaments, claiming the 1st place spot at our season opener with a 12.31 lb. bag. Ed won by a 3+ lb. margin!

For our second night tournament of the year, Ed bagged 15.61 lbs. for the win, again with a 3 lb, margin over the 2nd place competitor.

Ed also weighed in the tourney lunker for that one with a Continue reading →

2014 Tournament Schedule Set

We did things a bit different this year to try to schedule tournaments at the optimal time for each individual lake, hoping for the best possible outcome with regard to catching quality bass.
