We are less than 2 weeks out for the start of a new 2011 season. We start the schedule off this year as we have in the past at Lake Nacimiento on Feb 19th&20th. It a 2 day event that will most consist of DRAGGING for spots. Brian says the water level is considerably up since we we there in the fall. It's more like last February.

As we all know there has been some changes made this year and for years to come. One of the changes we have made are a canned food drive. We will be collecting minimum 1 can of food at each tourney that we will be donating to 2nd Harvest Food Bank at the end of the year. Our goal is at least 200 cans at years end, so if you can bring more than 1 can it would be great. We have a few 2 day events so any canned item not eaten at the tourney and you dont want to bring home we will take it.

Next thing is a bag of plastics, a bait, or a $5 donation is what we are asking for this year to better our raffle for the open.

For those of you who did not bring either canned item or plastic to the meeting we would appreciate if you brought 2. Same goes for those who did not make it.

For anybody that could help get donations for raffle that would be helpful and appreciated. After all this is to help better our payout at TOC and for AOY.

All that being said here is the info.

Saturday check-in 5:30-6:00am
Weigh-in 3:00pm

Sunday check-in 6:00-6:15am

LzyFsh

count me in!!

Neil

I'll be there on Sunday (Got an AC Teams event at Santa Margarita on Saturday).

No problem with the can goods, but have a question on Donations for the raffles...What about reels or rods in good condition, these good enough for the raffle? Also, Do you want the plastics/baits in "unopened" condition?

Bryan Vogt

If anyone is planning on being up at Naci early or needs something from town on Saturday, stop into Jim's Pro Bass Tackle shop in Paso Robles. Make sure you say you are fishing the Bass-n-tubes tournament at Naci too! It could really go a long ways for us in trying to get some Open donations.

Swampy will be there,Greg too.

Clint will be there unless a last minute work thing comes up.

Bryan we will take whatever. Most of the stuff we have given away in the past is all new. I'm sure we pancake some sort of tackle pack out of some items. Good call at stopping into the tackle shop there. If you guys are going early and need tackle last minute try to stop in where Bryan has mentioned. It could help out.

Wayne and I plan on truck pooling down their, in the MONEY truck!

Whenever Taylor makes it to my house I will donate some tackle and canned food. I wont be at Naci but plan to fish with you all this year at some point. I will give Taylor enough stuff to cover me for the year so I dont forget when I show up to fish.

Robert Middleton will be there.

U can count me in,I also just mailed my dues in so u should have them by mid next week.

I will be there. Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Troy

"That guy "will be there for sure..

Just sent dues to Paul through paypal. Looking forward to attempting to slay some spots!

Don't think I can make this after all. One of my servers is giving me fits and I need the extra days to move traffic off it. :(

Buzzfish

Bummer Clint, hope you can make Melones.

Hard to say. Every time I think I have this thing nailed it turns around and bites me in the butt.

Nate will be there. Also just paid paul the membership through paypal

Good luck down there guys, have a blast!

Damn. Looks like I won't be able to make this. Dr. appt got rescheduled that I must go to. Puts me leaving too late to drive 5 hours to someplace I've never been.

Disappointed. x( But I'm ready and set up for New Melones, only 1-1/2 hours from me.

I'm pretty bummed about missing this one too. I get the dubious privilege of working both days this weekend.

Buzzfish

This is the second one I've missed since 1999. Probably won't see Naci again.
