Red River OPEN, Sept. 6th/RESULTS

[FishinSteelersFan]

Our next event is the last regular event for the 2014 season. Registration and weigh-in will be at the Teague Boat Ramp Pavilion. This tourney will be an OPEN, meaning that non-members will not be charged membership ($25/person) at registration, however they will be treated as "guests" and if they place in the money their membership fees will be deducted from their winnings and put into the Classic Fund. The tournament fee of $60/boat will be paid out at 100%. Following weigh-in we will have our annual BBQ and rules meeting and open discussion for anyone that has any questions for the 2015 season. Everyone is invited, so bring the family and anyone you feel may have interest in fishing with us in the future. This will also be a trailering event, meaning after you complete registration, you may trailer and launch at any public ramp on the Red River.

This was our last regular event of the season, with our BBQ and informal meeting. An increase of $5 annual membership was voted in, to make it $30/person for membership in 2015. Also, Classic lake determination was discussed (Rule #22) and Lake Bistineau was voted out of the mix, due to hazardous low water conditions. For those members that are Classic qualified, look for a seperate thread explaining details of Classic lake determination (Rule #22) for our 2 day Classic on October 11/12.
