The members of SRIBA gathered for their annual meeting to choose lakes and dates and were able to put together a schedule that looks interesting \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Instead of the usual method of each member listing their preferred 9 lakes, and then tallying up the votes, we basically just hashed it all out, one lake at a time, by looking at the time of year and picking lakes that would be best suited for each date on the schedule.<\/p>\n
Doing it this way resulted in some unique picks, especially for some of the club’s night
\ntournaments. For example, we will be fishing Wordens Pond at night sometime during the 2016 season. We have never had a night tournament on Wordens Pond, despite the club being in existence since 1993 and fishing Wordens Pond fairly frequently.<\/p>\n
We also decided to hold our club Classic on a lake that we just added as a new location last season, Gorton Pond, in CT. We fished Gorton Pond as our second tourney of the year for 2015. It was a brand new lake that none of the SRIBA members had ever fished before.<\/p>\n
Despite being unknown to the membership, the lake produced well, with some nice bags being brought to the scales. Let’s see how it produces at night for the Classic qualifiers from 2015!<\/p>\n
