Received the following message from SCBC member Rob McPheron this past weekend. He is looking for someone to sign up as a co-angler for the B.A.S.S. Opens in 2018. All boaters who can guarantee a co-angler at these events are moved up off of the waiting list, and into the field:
Not sure if you are aware but BASS has a shortage of co-angler's this year.** I am currently 9th on all waiting lists.** If I had a co-angler linked I could be guaranteed a spot in all events.** The co-angler entry fee is $425.00.** I would be willing to pitch in $100.00 per tournament if somebody was interested.** **The first Central Open is on Ross Barnett In March.** The next two are Arkansas River and Red River - both close destinations.** The last is Logan Martin in Alabama which is my old stomping grounds.** **A co-angler has a great opportunity to learn new techniques, electronics use and boat handling skills. They just might luck out and draw one of the top pros in the country too!** These are first class events.** If you want to put the word out, that is fine with me.**
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch with Rob at robm0962@gmail.com
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested. The value of just riding with these pros is well worth the money let alone being able to compete and fish for money. I hope someone in our club is able to sign up for these opens.
