Championship 2010



For those of you who haven't heard yet, get ready for some different fishing.  Yes we are going to Grand Lake of the Cherokees.  Yes it will probably snow and winds will blow in excess of 25 mph but at least it will be the same for all the teams who make the trip.  We will also be fishing different than any of the past 6 Championships in that we won't be in shorts and t-shirts and we won't be working grass lines or drains like we have been seeing.  More information will follow but we will be going out of Martin's Landing on Monkey Island and the Tournament HQ will be there as well as a Monday Fish Fry and Friday Awards.  Off limits will be the Sunday following Labor day September 12th at sunset.  It is posted on the calendar as well.  2 additional hotels have offered discounts and their contact information is as follows:

Outrigger Motel- Owner: John (918) 786-4456
(17 rooms) has Parking; place to hook-up; wireless int.;
in room coffee; Ref.; Microwave ..... tell John your with
SCBA and room rate will be 46.00 + tax
 
Stone Brook (918) 786-9799  62.00 + tax (weekly rate)
has wireless int.; FREE calls inbound-outbound; 
Free Continental breakfast;
Ref.; and Microwave in some rooms.

Like I said more to follow but Steve Schneider or Harry Dalton will be good sources of information (assuming they will share anything) as each has won a boat on this lake within the last 12 years.

Thanks for all the suggestions and I will look into some of them for next year for sure.  Close hotels to the lake along with good meeting space and facilities is always high on the must have list.

 



Welcome to The 2010 SCBA Tournament Schedule

Each Lake and its date is shown below for the 2010 Tournament schedule. Interactive links are included in case you haven't fished the lake before. Hopefully this will allow all to research further the lakes for 2010.

 

2010 Team Tourney Info

Sorry about the delay on these results but I received a lot of calls regarding "no weight" finishes.  In the past we have always deducted an additional 10 points for a zero weight and although it isn't clearly defined in the rules for Super Team (that will be corrected for next year) it has always been done.  Because of this I went back and adjusted all the points for Super Team and although it didn't change the qualifiers it did move one team down one spot.  Mike and Billy moved from 5th to 6th place overall and the 5 qualifiers using 3 out of 4 had no impact as that was their drop tournament anyways.  I will be sure to set the rules right for next year and I apologize for the delay.  I have update the Super Team Results as of today and if there are any misses or questions let me know within the next 2 weeks or this will be the line ups at Championship.

2010 Tournament Schedule

Lake Amistad (East and West) - February 27th and 28th

Tournament ResultsFirst Tournaments of the year for each division. East and West divisions get started at a lake well known to most of us but fishing has been anything but friendly lately. Might have a few early spawners but look out for the cold winds.

 

Ute Lake (East and West) - March 27th and 28th

Lake Information LinkSecond Qualifiers for each division at New Mexico's eastern most lake. East and West divisions will compete together for one last time before Championship. Might be a little early for the spawn but the Smallies should be ready to bite. Windy and cold so keep the Goretex out from the first tournament.

 

Conchas Lake (East only) - April 17th and 18th

Lake Information LinkThird Qualifier for the East division brings us back to Conchas Lake hoping for better overall results with being a month earlier. The first lake along the Canadian River has been very tough to all anglers and hopefully she will treat us a little better than 2009.

 

Elephant Butte Lake (West only) - June 12th and 13th

Lake Information LinkThird Qualifier for the West division takes us to an old friend on the Rio Grande. Elephant Butte is still down compared to the 80's and 90's but the fishing is definitely coming back. Warm weather and plenty of action this time of year.


Ute Lake (East only) - June 26th and 27th

Lake Information LinkFourth and Final Qualifier for the East division takes us back to Logan, NM and Ute lake. Updated results are now posted under the link.  Some boat numbers are incorrect but the weights are all correct as well as places.


Navajo Lake (West only) - July 31st and August 1st

Lake Information LinkThis is the one tournament that could change date and lake as we look to membership in the first 3 tournaments. Although the fishing is always good, facilities are a challenge and the travel is long. We will keep you posted.

 


Championship Tournament
Grand Lake O' the Cherokees October 10th thru 15th

Lake Information Link A return visit to the lake for Sun Country but it has been at least 10 years so a lot might have changed.  Fishing appears to have improved and lake levels should not be a problem.  More to follow so keep checking in.
