2018 State Championship Moves to Sam Rayburn in November

Posted on October 30, 2018 Written by Brent Stafford

Due to inclement conditions on Lake Belton, the location of the 2018 State Championship has been moved. Umphrey’s Pavilion on the South end of Sam Rayburn Reservoir will be the new venue for the event. A tournament agenda will be published shortly.

As of Monday October 29, the Corps of Engineers managing Lake Belton shared with the Texas BASS Nation BOD that the lake will remain closed to boat traffic for 45 days. This in turn required a change of venue for the upcoming State Championship. Dates for the event will remain the same. November 16th & 17th, 2018.

Please visit the State Championship web page for entry forms, rules, agenda, etc. Updates will be posted there as well.

Tournament registration deadline is November 9th.

The Tournament Agenda has been posted to the State Championship web page.

Record Amount Raised At Annual Nation Club Event

Posted on October 27, 2018 Written by Administrator

The Seven Coves Bass Club celebrated its 11th year of the Fall Bass Classic charity tournament, October 13, 2018, on Lake Conroe. Hosted by StowAway Marina, this year the annual tournament benefited the Kids Unlimited Foundation. Kids Unlimited (kidsunlimited.org) was founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed to benefit children stricken with cancer. This organization as founded with the hope to provide children a reprise from cancer and an opportunity to be free of the harsh treatment regimen. Through these efforts, Kids Unlimited joins over 250 families together for consistent family-oriented activities.

This year we had 45 angler team entries, which allowed us to pay 6-places, and first and second Big Bass awards. The team of Garrett Pierce and Colin Bode figured it out with their limit of 17.47 pounds. Their win earned them a check of $1500.

2nd – BJ Tarr/Bud Tarr – 5 Fish – 15.31 – $800

3rd – Jason McClure/Colby Bryant – 5 Fish – 14.09 – $550

4th – Terry Reich/Ron Gibson – 4 fish – 13.14 – $250

5th – Jamie Yancy/Cole Williamson – 4 fish – 12.16 – $150

6th – Jason Harrell – 3 Fish – 11.91 – $125

Big Bass – Darren Haarmeyer/Carlene Wynn – 7.95 – $900

2nd BB – Ty Russell/Carl Richardson – o7.65 – $100 Papasitos Gift Card

The team of Sam Granberry and Ron Kost were the winners of the early entry prize drawing sponsored by The BASS Club, winning a Daiwa Fuego reel for each of them.

Drum Roll Please – Above all, the biggest winner was the Kids Unlimited Foundation as the 11th Annual Fall Bass Classic was able to raise a record $10,000! SCBC presented this check at the annual Kids Unlimited “Kid Fish” event at Fayette County lake held on October 27, with many kids and families present.

The success of this annual event is not possible without our sponsrs, anglers, the community, and their support through their participation and donations.
