NEWSLETTER - Get The NET !!!<br />(from Dave Willhide)<br /><br />That's what we all want to hear this coming ABA season. It's just around the corner and I'm looking forward to it. <br /><br />Some changes have been made for the new season. First: The basic entry fee has been rais by $20. This increase will go mostly to the top four finishers and to keep our pay out going deep into the field. We will still pay the same number of places - just a little more money to each place. Second: We have removed the off limits period - now you can come early and find your fish.<br /><br />Most of our sponsors have returned for the new season and we have added a few more.<br /><br />We will start the season witht he open tem on OCtober 2nd 2004. Come out and see what we are all about! We will be sharing the water with Desert Bass. You may fish both for a shared launch and weigh in. <br /><br />We will finish up the 2004/2005 season with our Annual Banquet on June 11th after our last torunament. I know Chretins will again put on a great meal.<br /><br />This year the Aluminum Boat Season will end with a BBQ after the last aluminum boat tournametn on April 9th 2005. It will be hosted by the folks at The Other Place (Fisher's Landing).<br /><br />Dave's Challenge:<br />For any regular Yuma Region tournament that puts 50 or more boats on the water I will go off the end of the dock no matter how cold the water is. Same for any Aluminum only tournament that puts 25 or more boats on the water. (Note from A.J.(Dave's Wife): Dave says for 75 boats he will let me shave his head.)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you all this season!!!<br />Dave
