tbone1993 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Hi all, We are proud to announce that we, the Illini Bass Fishing Club, will be hosting our 3rd Annual High School Open April 6th on Clinton Lake. This tournament is open to all high school anglers even if their school does not have a club established. Last year we had over 300 people at the weigh in along with 68 boats and 136 competing anglers. We also gave away over $2000 worth of prizes to the anglers that placed 1st-10th as well as Big Bass. If you have any questions feel free to message me or call the numbers listed on the flyers below.

Super User slonezp Posted February 20, 2014 Super User Posted February 20, 2014 That's awesome. Have you sent invites out to the IL high schools, or is it up to them to find out the info on their own? Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 That's awesome. Have you sent invites out to the IL high schools, or is it up to them to find out the info on their own? We contact as many schools as possible and attend many fishing shows and talk about the tournament. If you know any coaches or any kids interested please send them the information. We normally get about 20 boats from northern IL schools but we would like to increase that number to 30 this time around. Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Very cool man, very cool. Yeah and tons of work. We've got a seminar this Sunday at Atwood High School in which we are going to talk about collegiate fishing. All of the proceeds benefit their HS fishing team. Edit : here's their flyer http://www.illinoisbassnation.com/pdf/2014AtwoodFlyer.pdf Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 20, 2014 Super User Posted February 20, 2014 I'll contact my local HS. I know the guy in charge of the bass club, and one of the teachers who has a boat keeps his next to mine in the storage yard 1 Quote

tbone1993 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 More states need high school opens! Props to your club!!! If our club could host more high school opens in different states we would. We're a collegiate bass fishing club so it isn't the easiest thing to do. Thank you for the support! Check us out on Facebook and twitter, both links are available through the link above. Quote
Tom H. Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Does Canton High School enter this tournament? If not I will get you the email address for the AD Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Does Canton High School enter this tournament? If not I will get you the email address for the AD I'm not sure. We have a few schools that fish from that area. Some schools also register without names until tournament day so its tough to keep a running list. Quote
