Short background on the KSU fishing team.
We are up to 15 active members on the team with about 6 of them that own a bass boat.

Participation in bigger collegiate events has increased. We will have partipation In all 3 major collegiate series this year.
-BASS Southern Regional
-FLW Southeastern Collegiate Series
-ACA BoatUS Collegiate Series

Then in the fall it sounds like we will fish in the Fishlife Collegiate Tour.

We had 5 boats from the team fish in the BASS Southern Collegiate Regional at Lake Martin this past February. Long story short 4 of the 5 boats had some sort of issues happen including my own. 1 blown powerhead, 3 lower units.. The top finishing team finished 27th place and top 26 qualified for the BASS Collegiate National Championship taking place this summer. They missed the cut by 3 ounces!! Or if 1 more boat would of fished in the event then they would of qualified. So close!!

We will have participation For FLW May 21st on Lake Guntersville.

May 25-28th for the ACA BoatUS National Championship on Pickwick Lake.

Then a few of us are planning to go fish the BASS Wildcard event that will most likely take place June 7-11th in conjunction with Bassmaster BASSFest. I am thinking the Wildcard event may take place on Ray Roberts Lake since it is not on the same lake as Bassfest (Lake Texoma). Talk about a long haul with a boat!!

Then we will have participation in September for another FLW Southeastern Event on Lake Chickamuaga.

I have also been recruiting some new members about to graduate high school and will be attending KSU this upcoming fall.

I am excited the direction the fishing team is heading. All of this hard work is and will be paying off.

The funding we raise in the tournament is applied to our hotel and fuel expense for the boats and trucks for all of these bigger events.

With your support makes it possible for myself and the fishing team to be able to participate in such events.

Ray Roberts and Texoma are two of my old haunts! This year should be interesting since they are both finally back up and full! Roberts is a great largemouth venue and Texoma has largemouth and big Smallmouth!
