Bass Mafia Dover Youth High School Fishing Club Holds Winter Blowout

Saturday, Jan 21st - The DYFC Bass Mafia Youth Fishing tournament series brought out 77 anglers to fish January 21st on Lake Dardanelle. For most of them it was the first tournament for the 2012 season. The day started in the thirties and with the wind and lack of sunshine didn’t feel like it warmed up very much by weigh in time.

Even with the cold temperatures, the winter blowout tourney showed some of the biggest bass that you’ll see all year. With several over 5 and 6 and one bass caught over 7 1/2 pounds. Topping the field was the team of Corey Scheide, Sawyer Grace and Boat captain Spencer Grace with 21.29lbs. Most of their fish came on jerkbaits and Alabama Rigs in the lower end of the lake. Corey Scheide said ”We really didn’t get a lot of bites but we just kept fishing key staging spots and ended up with seven or 8 solid bites that day that gave us the win.” Second Place with 18.15 lbs. went to the team of Mikayla Scheide, Baylee Linker and Boat Captain Ray Scheide. They also caught their bass on winter staging areas using Megabass jerkbaits and Spinderella rigs to entice their bites. Third place went to Nate Parks, Britt Hibbs and Boat Captain Michael Parks of 18.05 lbs.

Ray Scheide said “This was a great turnout for a January Tournament and I was really proud of all of our anglers that fished Saturday.

I would also like to mention that we have strengthened our sponsor portfolio this year as we have almost all sponsors returning from 2011 and added a few for 2012.” Read the rest of this entry »

Florida High School Fishing Teams go Head-to-Head

Ponca City, Okla., – Dec. 15, 2011- Lake Shipp in Winter Haven, Fl., will host the central Florida SAF club’s Plant City High School and Bartow High School face-off on Saturday, December 17. These two teams will go head-to-head in the Student Angler Federation’s first individual school matchup.  Both teams have worked hard to put their SAF High School clubs together and get their students out on the water fishing. In fact, last weekend Bartow High School hosted their inaugural Bobby Lane Open, which featured several schools from around the state.  This weekend’s competition will be more than a Christmas celebration for these two teams.  It will mark the beginning of a movement to bring high school fishing to the limelight.

When the Raiders and Yellow Jackets square off this weekend, both schools will send their top four boats out on Lake Shipp in hopes of that largemouth bite.  Each boat consists of two student teammates and an adult boat captain.  The school with the heaviest catch from the four combined boats will win this Holiday Challenge.
