Nova Bass Update
June 2009
NOVA Bass Anglers fished its fourth tournament
of the year Saturday June 6th on the Chickahominy River, out of
River's Rest. The weather finally cooperated for the NOVA club
and fishing was good for the majority of the guys. Seven
limits were brought to the scales.
Top finisher Doug Fisher reported
the following:
" Pads, top water- Knees, jigs & tubes. Fish are definitely back
in the Chick. I have always loved fishing this river because of the
different structure opportunities but was frustrated by the quality
of fish. Over the past few years it has really made a turn
around. A 6+ in the chick!! Two years ago I did not think it
was possible. Keep the braid tied on and go to work on them."
The 6+ was in the boat but somehow made
it back in the water and not to the scales??? Maybe next time
team Fisher.
Congratulations to the money winners:
1st Place Doug Fisher 11.31
2nd Place Mike Rush 10.51
3rd Place Steve Clary 9.67
Big Fish John Malerich 4.85
NOVA Bass Anglers fished its third club tournament of the year
Sunday May 17th out of Leesylvania State Park on the Potomac
River.
The weather forecast called for gusting winds to 30mph. We
had a vote to fish or not at the ramp before safe light due to the
severity of the days weather forecast. A six to five victory
to fish won and we launched at 5:55am. The wind cooperated until
9:30am and then started to blow steady at 20mph out of the NNW.
This made the river a disaster because the tide was coming in and
the wind was going against making for rough seas!!!
We weighed in at 4pm with all boats and passengers accounted for.
Congratulations to the top finishers.
1st Place: Don Cook 12.50
2nd Place: George Hayn III 11.99
3rd Place: Chuck Perry 11.90
Three more 10lb+ bags were also weighed in, all with four fish.
Most fish reportedly caught on reaction baits in the grass. Also,
fish were reported caught on hard cover.
NOVA Bass fishes its next tournament Saturday June 6th out of
Rivers Rest on the Chickahominy River.
Nova Bass Anglers fished the second club
tournament of the season Saturday, April 11th on the Potomac River.
We launched from Leesylvania State Park at safe light 6:45amish. The
day started with light rain and light winds. As the day progressed
the sideways rain and gusting wind became a very big factor. The
main river was super rough and not fun to navigate. Top finisher
reported catching a limit and culling throughout the day fishing
hard cover with crank baits and jigs.
Congratulations to the top finishers:
1st - John Fravel, 19.04 lbs
2nd - Steve Clary, 14.47 lbs
3rd - Rodney Upchurch, 14.40 lbs
Big Fish - Steve Clary, 6.28lbs
Steve is on a roll this year. He has weighed in two 6lb+ fish in the
first two events!
Nova Bass Anglers fished the first club
tournament of the 2009 season Saturday March 21st on Lake Anna out
of High Point Marina. We had 11 boats and 18 participants in total.
Also, a few guests got in the big fish pot. We had a great time
Friday prefishing and enjoying the camaraderie in the evening with a
small cookout.
Saturday we launched at 6:50am in a balmy 30 degree air temperature.
We all made it back safe at 3:00pm for the weigh in. We weighed in
23 fish for a total of 39.39lbs. Most fish were caught on light line
finesse tactics except for the fist place weight. The top finisher
reported a late afternoon shallow water power fishing bite.
Congratulations to the top finishers:
1st - Steve Clary with four fish for 10.61lbs
2nd - Craig Armstrong with four fish for 6.94lbs
3rd - John Malerich with four fish 6.07lbs
Big Fish - Steve Clary 6.17lbs

Federation
Tournaments You Should Know About!
They are the Mr. Bass
Tournament, The Chapter Team Tournament, and the Region 1 Fall
Classic.
You can win entry in the Mr. Bass Tournament
by being one of the two best fishermen in Nova Bass Anglers.
The Chapter Team Tournament is a two day tournament at Kerr
Reservoir and six of our club members will have the opportunity to
fish it. Region 1 hosts a Fall Classic Tournament for anglers
that are in the top 20 at the end of the
season.
Winning any of the Federation Tournaments
listed above will put you on the Virginia State Team. The Virginia
Team is composed of the top two finalists from the Mr. Bass
tournament, the four top finalists from two Chapter Team Tournament
(Region 1 and 9), and the top two individuals from the Fall Classic
Tournament.
The Virginia Team will fish the Interstate Tournament and have their
expenses paid for (within limits). It’s
a very prestigious opportunity for TBF members—and it takes a lot of
fishing success to get there.
Our own Rob Richards has made the Virginia Team by qualifying
for, and winning the Chapter Team
Tournament at Kerr Reservoir earlier this year.
Let’s wish Rob the best of luck upcoming at the Interstate
Tourney.
Also keep an eye in club standing for Club Kudos and trophies and
eligibility for the next Six Man team and Mr. Bass. Good luck to
everyone and let's have fun! Its a great club.
