Colorado Bassin Team Series

NBAA/CTBF team tournament info. To answer the question. Yes we are fishing Big Mac 6/13 and 14. I talked to the park ranger today and although the lake is now at 43% full 2 of the ramps remain useable (barely). Divers bay ramp (is 1 of them) will be the ramp we are going out of. Some house keeping to note, besides your Nebraska fishing license all boats will need the AIS stamp. The stamp, license and park pass can be bought at the park office. Also remember this is a no cull lake. Denver Bassmasters will be running their tournament along side us at Divers bay. More info to come.

To everyone that is coming to Cedar Bluffs this weekend for the NBAA/CTBF tournaments. The other tournament scheduled has been canceled so we are going out of the main ramp both Saturday and Sunday. You will need a park pass and they expire at 2 in the afternoon so keep that in mind for Sunday since we will not be off the water till 2.

It's time again for the new NBAA/CTBF tournament season to start. You all know the routine meet at the Cedar Bluffs south ramp (see last post for directions) Saturday morning at 5:15 we will get the paperwork and payments done then hit the water. As of now expect it to be wet most of the weekend. We will fish till 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday (according to the weather). I plan on heading out Thursday morning will be staying at the Super 8. Call me if you have any questions 719-491-2074. Be safe see you soon.

Just a reminder that out season is about to start. First up is Cedar Bluffs in Kansas on May 30th and 31st. Because of another tournament already scheduled for Saturday we wil be going out of the south park ramp off of 320 Ave and Z road in the Page Creek section of the state park. I have been told on Sunday we can use the north main ramp (we will see). We have gone out of the south ramp before just remember it's dirt roads on that side. More info to come.

Just a reminder guys, the season is getting going. First Springs BassMasters club tournament was this past Saturday and the water at Pueblo is already 55 degrees! So first up is NBAA National Tournament April 15 to 17. Then May 30-31 at Cedar Bluffs followed by June 13-14 at Big Mac and Pueblo September 12-13. On the CTBF side then the National Semi Final at Possum Kingdom on October 10-11. Hope to see you all soon and good fishing!

Hey gang great news. Brian Hickey the Colorado TBF Angler of the Year just finished his second day at TBF Nationals in first place in the Southwest division which means he will be fishing tomorrow for the TBF National Title! We all need to wish him luck go get them Brian!!!!

Well today was an up and down day. I got word that Nebraska finally approved the June 13th and 14th tournament at Big Mac. Then I got a call from Pueblo saying they now were not approving the August tournament. So I had to move the Pueblo tournament to September 12th and 13th. Luckly that still gives us time before the National semi finals at Possum Kingdom on October 10th and 11th.

Wanted to remind anyone that is interested in fishing either or both sides of the CTBF or NBAA tournaments that they need to be members of CTBF and or NBAA in order to fish them. You can sign up for NBAA at the national NBAA website. As for CTBF their are right now 2 to 3 clubs in the state you can sign up through. Since I am also the president of Springs Bassmasters you sign up through my club if you wish. Or get enough guys together (6) and start a club yourselves.

Guys, I just approved the list of our teams that qualified for the NBAA Championship. They will be sending everyone that qualified an invitation hopefully soon. The list is as follows - Stinson/Stinson our team of the year, Strickland/Hays, Rosten/Allen, Allen/Knapp, Steckline/McKenzie, Collins/Bodel, Bianchi/Rathe, Rosten/Knott, Belisairo/Goldberg, Gasper/ Clausen, Howard/Freeman If you have not checked the NBAA website we are going to Lake of the Ozarks on April 15,16,17th.

Our next TBF/NBAA tournaments are this coming weekend 9/6 and 7 at Pueblo.
We will be going out of the North ramp both days.
Meeting Saturday morning at 5:30 in the parking lot up by the bathrooms. Sunrise is 6:30 so hope to be on the water by 6:15.
All TBF participants need to have their applications and Venmo or payments in by Thursday at noon.
All NBAA participants need to let me know if you are coming by Thursday, so we can make sure we are ok with the Pueblo people.
NBAA is still cash or Venmo by the Saturday morning meeting.
All other announcements will be at the meeting.
Remember these are the last 2 tournaments of the season and will determine who goes to the TBF national semi finals at Grand Lake Oklahoma in October and who goes to the NBAA national tournament next year.
Also we will determine the AOY's for both divisions.
