contributions to American angling, conservation and outdoor recreation;
to encourage and instruct the youth of our community in the art of bass
fishing; to pledge ourselves to full adherence of all conservation
codes; to promote and share camaraderie; to improve our skills as bass
anglers through the exchange of bass catching techniques and ideas; to
stimulate public awareness of bass fishing as a major participation
sport, as well as a relaxing and healthy past time; to offer our
organized, moral, and political support and encouragement to our state
conservation departments; to demand adequate water standards and legal
enforcement of existing regulatory standards; to detect and report any
polluter, call public and political attention to his/her crime; to
encourage both private and governmental studies into any reason why
fishing on our lakes and streams is deteriorating, and to have them
seek out solutions for restoring and maintaining top bass fishing
conditions for ourselves, our children and future generations; to
promote and encourage youth fishing. Kids don’t go fishing,
they are taken fishing); to instill at any early age an interest and

In just over 2 weeks, on 20 Feb, LBM anglers will converge on Lake Wylie for their 7th tournament of the year. As they pass the seasons halfway point, the top 5 anglers are seperated by less than 200 points! These next few tournaments will make or break individual seasons and decide the 6 man team and AOY honors. Stay tuned for results as conditions improve, and inevitably weigh-in's will improve too.

In just 7 days, Lugoff bassmasters will hold their 6th tournament of the season, this one on Lake Murray. Tournaments during this time of year are always extremely tough, and normally prove to be the make or break of an anglers season when all the points are tallied up. Come back next weekend to see the complete tournament results. Here's hoping that 2010 proves to be an extremely productive season on the water!

LBM held a tournament on Lake Wateree on 19 Dec. To say the fishing was difficult is something of an understatement as no limits were caught, and of the 11 competitors, only 8 fish were brought to the scales! Half of the fishermen didn't even get a bite. Shaw Bassers also held a tournament on Wateree and had the same kind of day. Congratulations to Darrell Munn for the win and to Dale Goff and Joe Akshar for their respective 2nd and 3rd place finishes. Tournaments like this make it clear just how tough bass fishing can be.
Jim Timmerberg, the club secretary had these words to say. "We've got to find some other lakes to fish in the summer and winter. If you look back at the tournament results, most of the time Wateree fishes exceptionally tough at those times. We should be able to find better lakes for those seasons.Wateree is close...that's about all that it has going for it."
Check out the results and standings page for a complete points and standings. Don't forget that there is an open tournament on Lake Murray on 27 Dec. Check out www.scfishingreport.com for more info. Please email Jim Timmerberg (use the 'interested in joining' link above) if you plan to fish it.
The clubs next tournament will be on Lake Murray on 9 Jan 2010. The meeting will be on Thursday, 7 Jan.

We're only a week away from the December tournament. LBM will hold its 5th tournament of the season at Lake Wateree on 19 Dec. Last year, Jow Akshar destroyed the rest of the field by bringing over 11lbs to the scales. Darrell Munn and Gene Gibbs rounded off the podium with 8+ and 6+ lbs respectively. Hopefully we'll see a few more 10+ sacks this year, but the winter months always prove to be very trying. Check back next weekend for results!

Anglers from LBM will meet for their 4th tournament of the season this Saturday at Lake Wylie. A few have already set themselves apart from the pack, and these "winter" tournaments often prove to be some of the most crucial of the year. If anglers aim to make the 6-man tournament, they must do well when conditions are tough. Results will be posted Sunday, so check back.

day one in 26th place, weighing in only 20.83 lbs. After a spectacular rally on day two, they finished
in 8th place with 61.48 lbs. Well done! The tournament consisted of 50 teams from across the state.

My apologies to everyone for the delay, but the website will be updated with Hartwell results this weekend. Also, in the future if I'm not at a tournament, anyone that would like to snap some photos with their digital camera at the weigh in and/or during blast off is welcome to do so. Send them to me and I'll be sure to creat a gallery.

Teams have been selected for the SC B.A.S.S Six-Man tournament. Gene Gibbs/Darrell Munn will fish together, Jim Timmerberg/Joe Akshar will pair up, and Dale Goff/Randy Kitzmiller will make up the 3rd team. Good luck to all of us, and get pre-fishing! The next club tournament will be on Lake Hartwell on 17 October. Don't forget that the pre-tournament meeting will be on Wednesday, 14 Oct. If the action on Hartwell is anywhere near as good as last year, members will be rewarded for the tough fishing of the last 3 months. The bass on Hartwell were biting and top water was the pattern. Darrell is going to check on availability of cabins at Tugaloo State Park for Friday and Saturday nights, 16 and 17 October. If you are interested in staying, please let Darrell or Jim know ASAP. For our new members, it's about a 2 1/2 hour drive there from Lugoff. The cabins sleep 5, so we need to know how many plan to stay. The tournament will be on Saturday.
Anyone wanting to share fishing info on the website should email Randy using the link above. Earnie and I are heading up to Hartwell on Tuesday to check them out. Hopefully, the bite will be on!

Lugoff Bassmasters are back at it this weekend with their second tournament of the new season, the first individual event. Lake Murray will be the venue. Boats will launch from Billy Dreher Island at daylight, with weigh in to be held at 1530. I've heard from anglers fishing Murray and conditions remain difficult and the bite is tough at best, but improving! Hopefully the cooling temperatures and shorter days will prove to be beneficial and we'll see some good weights at the scales. Results will be posted before the end of the weekend, so check back!
