If you told Bobby that you were fishing the Semi National in Virginia, you should have received an email yesterday from the TBF, inviting you to register and pay. Need to get registered ASAP. If you didn’t receive an email, text or call Bobby and he can walk you through it. You will need your TBF member number to register. If you don’t know it, email me at [email protected].

The Bass Federation has given us a new, in the box, Fortrex Trolling Motor as a fundraiser. It is a Minn Kota Fortrex, 24Volt, 80 lb thrust, 45 inch shaft, with a Dual Spectrum CHIRP (DSC) transducer built in. Johnson Outdoors has the same trolling motor listed for $1699.99. We have not done well with trying to raffle trolling motors, so we are selling this one outright. If you are a member of the West Virginia Bass Federation, your price is $1200.00. If it isn't sold within a month or so, we will open it up to non-members. Members, if you want it, make sure you respond on this post.

Ok, here we go! As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are going to raffle off some items. ANYONE can get in on these raffles.

The first item is a gift voucher for $120 towards a new battery of your choice from Interstate Batteries! Donated from a distributor in Gassaway WV. We will arrange to get the battery to you, depending where you’re located in WV. If you win, go to www.interstatebatteries.com, and pick out your battery. You would be responsible for any cost above the $120.

We will have 50 spots for $5 each. You can pay by Venmo () or PayPal (), or arrange to meet and pay cash. Please send PayPal or Venmo to “friends and family” so we don’t incur a charge, and in the notes section, please put your name. Thanks.

Once the 50 spots are filled, I will go live on Facebook and spin the wheel to see who wins. Good luck everyone!

Our West Virginia team with Bella Sigmon and Jaxon Schmidt finished 13th overall after Friday’s final weigh-ins! Not the exact finish they wanted, but we’re all very proud of how you represented our great state! Great job, and go win it next year!

Please check it out! For those of you who don’t know much about the West Virginia Bass Federation(WVBF), I will be making a post in the near future about how the WVBF operates, and what opportunities there are for it’s members. Keep an eye out for it! See you on the water!
