Any takers?

Bassin Bob

	Our club team is staying at the Tip Top Motel in Webster...We will have
breakfast up in the center on Webster at 5:30...Is what I heard....I'm fishing
with Jim Duhamel the 1st day and Mike Marrone on the 2nd....Guess who BB got
hooked up with on the 1st day...Does the name Craig Arcari mean anything to
you all....Nice going Bob....But I guess I did allright with Jim......

Looking forward to next weekend....

    Howdy boyz,
    
    
    I'll be headed to Webster for the West fishoffs.  Don't know with
    whom I'm paired, but I really don't care.  Bob??  You and Craig
    Acari ??  Hmmmm This sounds MIGHTY suspicious to me !!!  
    
    I'd be willing to meet for coffee...  I'll probably be riding in
    with Sully (remember him ??) so it would be also up to him.
    
    Take it easy...  Best of luck to everyone.

55.3Madd Matt is sitting this one out!!SEMIU5::MATTSONFri Sep 06 1991 17:168
    Guys,
    	
    	I made the state team but I'm letting the alternate go in my place.
    I even won our club event on Webster this year!!!  So figure that one
    out,  I know, "I'm just a heck of a Guy".  Good luck to everyone.  Hey
    Bob, Webster was Craig's worse club tournament this year.

Hay Mad MAt.

	I hHerd you gave up WC for the greener payouts of the ABA?  Is this 
true.   Murphy filled me in on Craig's Webster day!  But you have to remember I 
lived on that lake the past two falls.  I already told him to give me the front
and for hime to go to sleep in the back.  his answer?  can't
type that many four letter ** in here :^)

	Well it looks like the weather will be a little nice than the 
last time we fished webster for the fishoffs!!

See you all there.

55.6Madd Matt going to the ABASEMIU5::MATTSONMon Sep 09 1991 10:0739
    re.4
    
    	Bob,
    		Yes it is true, I am giving up the WCB and the end fo this
    season and I'm going to fish the ABA Tournament Trail full time next
    year.  I hate giving up the WCB, they're a great bunch of guys, I just
    don't have enough time to try and do a full club schedule and then a 
    Tournament trail.  
    
    re.5
    
    Ken,
    	You need to join a Bass Club that is affliated with a national
    sactioning body.  The club I belong to is part of the MASS BASS
    federation which is also of B.A.S.S. that you see on T.V. 
    
    	Each club has it's own set of qualifying tournaments throughout the
    year.  The top 8 from each club qualify for the State fish offs, which
    comprise of the top 8 from all the different clubs in the federation.
    
    	Out of this the top six (this number might have changed) qualify to
    represent the state in a regional tournament,  then a certain number
    qualify to represent the Region in a National tournament.  Finally 4
    are picked from the national tournament to fish against all the Pro's
    in the BASS MASTERS CLASSIC.  
    
    	A few years ago a gentleman by the name of Danny Corriea (don't
    think I spelled the last name right) from Marlboro did just this.  He
    also finished 2nd at the BASS MASTERS CLASSIC.  This was a phenominal
    accomplishment and is the best finish ever by an amateur.  I think he
    only missed first place by one fish.
    
    	If your intrested in joining a club go to the Fishing Expo they
    have every year at the Centrum in Worcester.  Almost all the different
    Bass fishing organizations are represented there and would gladly give
    you information on how to join one of there clubs.

55.7When's the Show?SOLVIT::PAPPASTue Sep 10 1991 10:166

55.8BASSmasters, Sundays on TNNDONMAC::MACINTYRETerminal AnglerTue Sep 10 1991 10:3717
    What "Show"?
    
    Matt mentioned that B.A.S.S. is the same organization that you see on TV,
    but the tournament mentioned here is not televised.  The only Federation
    level tourny that normally gets coverage is the final, where the
    winners go to the Classic.
    
    The BASSmasters television show is on Sundays on TNN. 
    
    This years Classic should be on the tube soon.  I was at the final
    weigh-in in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. Ken Cook won and Clunn
    came to the scales empty handed the final day. 
    
    Let's take the fishing magazine discussion to a new topic, 59.

55.9I will be there!!! CATCHING THE BIG ONESLUDWIG::ZILINSKYTue Sep 10 1991 11:3912
    Well guys,
    
        I will be there for the fish-offs at Webster. I qualified my first
    year in a club.(W.C.B.,) I hate to say this but (sorry madd matt) I
    even bet Madd Matt. I caught fish every tourney and my best finish was
    2nd at Quinsig.  I will be fishing with John Besse on Sat. and Leon
    Beaulieu on Sunday.  My wife isn't happy because on Sunday she has to
    take my little guy to a bridal show and then a birthday party. TOOOOO
    BADDDDD. Kiv don't tell her I said that..

55.11Keg,after you there's nothing left !!SEMIU5::MATTSONTue Sep 10 1991 16:3213
    Keg,
    	
    	That's right!!!  After fishing with you I know I'm GOOD !!!  I
    just a humble, mellow, type of guy now, I don't need to prove nothing
    to nobody.  Heck if I don't show up Bassin Bob might stand a chance to 
    do well 8^.  Plus the guy I let take my place really deserves a good 
    break, he's the guy in our club who got run over by another boat during
    our night tourney.  His boat is still all screwed up and the insurance
    company still hasn't come through for him yet.  There will be other BIG 
    Tournies in my future, and yes I'll still autograph your hat for you
    then.
    						regards,

    Well guys tomorrows it.  You all lucked out and got great weather. 
    Good luck to you all.  It would be great news to hear that one of our
    own DECIES makes the state team or better yet is the Captain of the
    team.  Remember don't be bullied, demand your half of the boat, it's
    your right to do so.

55.14ROULET::ZILINSKYMon Sep 16 1991 12:3013
      Well I have to agree with Bob the weather was great for ducks.... I
    didn't do bad the first day (9th) but like Bob I died the second day. 
    It seemed that not may big fish were brought in on the second day.  
    Well I still can say I did alright for a my first time in a club and
    making the fishoffs. I fished the first day with John Besse who came 
    in second overall. I just wish you could fave fished both days with
    the same guy. The guy who fished with him the second day came in with
    4 fish. 
    
      Well, least I had some fun get wet...

55.15No more Well Wishing!!SEMIU5::MATTSONMon Sep 16 1991 13:377
    Sorry Bob, I guess that good luck and excellent weather, was the kiss of
    death.  That's 3 years in a row that Jack Wisuri has made the State
    team.  I don't know of anyone else ever doing this.  Sounds like you
    and Tom Z. had a great first day.  What happened to Craig, didn't you
    fish with him the first day???
