U of L collegiate bass fishing

[EJHick]

On the money situation, I am not sure on what the school would do to sponsor or grant us certain things. We are eligible to apply for things at cost(scales, tourney shirts & hats, weigh-in bags, gas possibly)of school, but not real sure how it works. And for the boat situation for club tournaments inside U of L to decide top members to quailfy for national events, we may look into something like Purdue does with having people offer their boat and guidance. For more info on that visit the Purdue bass fishing website http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~pubass/fishingLinks.php We are still trying to get this thing going, and I have emailed a few professors about the advisor/coach position. Once this is filled, SGA will look at our qualifications of becoming a university club/team. But it looks like it is becoming a pretty big deal, collegiate bass fishing that is, and I have always dreamed of hoisting that trophy above my head like ole Luke did last night, and at 27 years old, man I tell you what a dream. For more info. email me at [email protected] or call 502-445-8809 after 5 pm and I will be happy to answer any questions.

Hey guys, Eric told me about all the good replies he's received here at fishin.com! To be honest I never knew about the site! This is cool! Glad to see all the interest in our club! I'm very excited to enter into the world of collegiate angling! I'm from the Ky Lake and Barkley Lake region and a full time engineering student at U of L. If it wasn't for fishing, college would drive me nuts! Anyhow, anyone interested in our club should come out on Wed. Feb. 28 at Bearno's Pizza on 4th street right by U of L campus. We start hanging out at about 8:00 p.m. and usually don't get serious with the meeting until atleast 8:30 because some of us have night classes. We'll talk about some fishing, talk about the club, and the waitresses are pretty nice to look at too! Ha ha ha! Anyways, hope to see you there!

we here at UK are in the same boat perverbially on boaters, we did exactly what EJ was talking about, for our first tournament on barren in April we have enough volunteer boaters to help with the guys that dont have a boat. Every college contestant puts up a 25$ entry fee and then I am going to take that money and buy gift certificates to tackle shops. 50% to the winning volunteer boater wieght, 25% to the biggest bass of the event, and 25% to the heaviest college wieght, or something like that. This site is great, as it is where I found all my volunteer boaters. hey dont forget the challenge issued by UK, sometime in may, lets get this rivalary fired up real good. Maybe do a state wide event because EKU and Murray have some SERIOUS teams too. Good luck with your team, feel free to call me if you have any questions about how our club works here at UK or how the smash-mouth thing works.

check out my reply on down... Things are looking up man. Does UK fish the ABA trail in the CAST program? This seems like a pretty good deal to me. I think we are going to sign up for that, as well as smashmouth and CBAA. ABA championship is at KY and Barkley which would be homecourt advantage! Shoot me an email sometime at [email protected]. Taker' easy.
