Great job Shark and Johnston.  The Wefels and the new team of Derek and Matt did great too taking the other top spots.  Bob and Andy close behind.  You guys were lucky that Al and Doug weren't lucky, having boat troubles and having to throw a big bass of largemouth over board, then leave their boat on a dock, to get back for weight in.  But that's fishing and everyone did great.  Wow the smallmouth certainly were biting.  Lots of big bags, limits and every single fish swam away.    See ya at Blue Lake.

Hey we have our March meeting in one week.  I hope to see you there.  If you haven't paid in to the Bassmasters and state Bass Federation, its getting close to the BASS official roster deadline.  Our April meeting will be the last time you can do this, since we need to report it in and pay for it in April.

We have a new sponsor, Outkast Tackle, so please stop by the April meeting to meet them and buy some of their fishing tackle.  They will be giving a 25% discount at that meeting and a code for us to use online for a year.

UAC Bassmasters Staff

We had a great turnout with 10 members present and we picked up two new members, Andy and Greg.  Welcome guys, we're glad to have you fishing with us this year.    

We finally voted and picked the background of our new club jerseys.  Black and white ended up finally taking it by a wide majority.  Cool. 

Now to let Jim do the finally rounds for sponsors and to start getting the graphics together for the sponsors and club, to send to the potential places to make our shirts.  We'll see if they can add logos for individuals and the cost for them.  Each person will have to cover any additional costs for anything extra they want on their shirt. 

We discussed any and all questions from members.  All club qualifying events are now more clearly listed on our website.  Please check it out, and note that not all Ultimate Angler Bass events are UAC Club events. 

The next State BASS Federation meeting is Jan 16, a few of us are going, if you want to join us, please let us know. 

An important issue discussed are the many discounts that club members get from State Sponsors, like Lamiglas. 

Remember you need to register at www.UACBass.com so we can get the angler profiles together.  Each person will be responsible for their own profile.  We will setup the basic page and you can login to make changes to it.  Just let Doug know you are registered and he'll get you set up.

Remember we meet the first Wednesday of every month at the Powerhouse Bar in Proctor at 6:30pm.  So bring anyone interested with you. 
 

With 4 members showing we could only work on what was done online and by majority.  So here's what got done.

1. The jerseys are now down to between the blue and black, Jim's is gone. 
2. Jason Wefel is now the UAC Bass Club Treasurer.
3. Jeff Wefel is now the official Fed Rep for our club. 

That's it for today, but Miller Lite was again sold out at the Powerhouse Bar, before the end of night.  Bernicks better get more beer here.

Everyone should consider making it to the next meeting. 

Hey everyone we are voting on our jerseys and officers at this meeting, so be sure to be there.  We'll go over the angler profiles on our site and get everyone set to work on their own profile. 

We want to get anyone looking for a Duluth bass club, Moose Lake bass club, Hibbing, Cloquet, Grand Rapids, Virginia bass club, any where in North East Minnesota, so spread the word and invite them to join us. 

See ya Dec 2nd.

With our last event done, our UAC BASS Club standings are set.  Our first BASS Champions for NE Minnesota are Al Ansell and Doug Pirila.
