Championship 2010

I said last year not to bet the farm on returning to Amistad and I want to emphasize this year that if you are fishing because you think we are going back to Falcon that you might want to re-think your reasoning. Falcon was as good of fishing as I have ever experienced and everyone has a story about the one that "got away" but we have not contacted Falcon and my intent is to do the same as last year and visit with 3 to 4 Chamber of Commerce representatives and make a decision in May or June. I still have 2 lakes from last year that we did not go to, and have had recommendations from another 3. It is important to keep an even playing field as much as possible and for that reason even if we knew I would not announce the site. I believe all of you would agree that by not knowing it keeps us at that "grass roots" level and some very enjoyable competition.

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

I have had a lot of inquiries regarding the Team Tournament format and rules. The Team Tournament is a tournament inside the normal qualifier that qualifies 15 teams to fish for the pot monies at Championship within their division. The Top Ten overall teams plus the 5 Teams with best 3 of 4 finishes fish for the Total Team entry fees throughout the year at Championship with the Top 5 splitting the monies. 100 percent payback and a 1 in 3 payback at Championship can mean for some extra travel money at the end. Last year's first, second, third and fourth place finishers didn't fish or qualify for Team and the fifth place overall team of Bauder and Roybal might have taken as much home as the third place team. And teams like Staver and Stangel and Hansel and Lechel actually did quite well because even though their overall finish wasn't as high as they may have wanted they won monies in Overall, and East and West Team standings by qualifying on both sides. If you plan on fishing Championship then the extra Team entry can pay off big if you qualify and finish high at the tournament in October even if you don't pull a Beckner.

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. Final chance to get your 3 tournaments to qualify to championship.



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
TBA October 10th thru 15th

Lake Information Link I know everyone enjoyed Falcon and the Zapata Chamber was great but don't bet the farm on going back this year. I will announce for sure in June as we will send out letters of interest and work with local Chambers before we make a decision and announce where we are for 2010.
