Iowa Premier Bass Series

[bass_101]

Hey guys!  I just wanted to let you know about a new bass fishing series that has been started up this year.  The series is called Iowa Premier Bass and it's a rapidly building series.  Designed for high payouts and great kickbacks, this series was designed with challenging lakes in mind.  Just because the schedule doesn't hold lakes that host a bunch of tournaments doesn't mean they don't hold some great bags of fish!  You can find more information, as well as contact information over on their site, www.ipbass.com

Hey Guys!! I just wanted to update you on the Iowa Premier Bass Series a little bit.  We've just finished registering nearly 20 members thanks to the Fisherman's Swap Meet and Bass Pro Spring Classic!! This year is really taking off, even more than we expected.  Don't miss out on the chance to fish with one of Iowa's hottest Bass Fishing Series!!

Hello everybody!  I know the first tournament is in just 33 short days down at Icaria!  Can I expect to see any of you IYBYI members at the first tournament?  It would be a great time to meet in person.  I know ice out is near and all of us anglers are getting a little antsy to wet a line!

Hey all, I just wanted to do sort of a follow up on the first Iowa Premier Bass Series tournament that was held down on lake Icaria on the 17th.  Despite this being the first IPB event ever, a field of 19 boats were competing for a first place prize of $1,064 for first place with the top 4 places earning a check!  Big bass came in weighing 6.08 pounds and earned a $171 check and awesome plaque!  While the fishing was tough some great bags were brought to the scales.  The winning bag went for a touch over 16 pounds for five fish.  Official results can be found over on www.ipbass.com  The weigh-in was very professional looking with tons of exciting people and very nice vendors!  There were quite a few spectators and family members on hand to watch the fish be hoisted onto the scales which added to the excitement.  Bring the kids out to watch the weigh in and pick up on their casting practice.  There is nothing better than being outdoors with the family on a beautiful day!

Hey everyone!  I just wanted to remind you all of the tournament being held down on Rathbun this saturday.  This will be the second tournament held by Iowa Premier Bass and like last time, we expect high payouts and a solid number of boats.  From what I hear, many of the guys and gals that have been pre-fishing are pulling in several big fish which is going to make weigh-in interesting!  I hope you get the chance to come down and fish, or even just stop to say hello.

Alright ladies and gents!  The time is closing in once again on another awesome tournament!  This week, we're heading to Saylorville for what looks to be a tough event from what I hear.  Rathbun was also tough, but the winning boat brought in nearly 17 pounds of fish.  Stop by with the family to see the weigh-in at 1:00!  More info can be found over at the site!  I look forward to seeing you there.

Well folks, we had a very tough day of fishing down on Saylorville!  Nobody managed a limit but there were many quality fish caught.  There were 13 teams launch when the rain finally let up after a good hour of pouring down rain.  The lake was very high but had been for quite some time which helped the fishing for some.  It took just shy of 9 pounds to win this awesome event and they take home over $700 bucks!  Big bass was 4.02 pounds and took home $117.  The weigh in was in front of tons and tons of people hanging out at Latitude 41 on the marina and everyone had a blast!  Nobody that fished the event walked away empty handed and even the kids took home some prizes.  I hope that more people can make it out to our next tournament, July 10, on Brushy Creek!  It looks to be a shoot-out and I'm expecting many limits to be brought in that day.  I hope to see you there.

Hey y'all!  Its been a while since I dropped a line on this thread, and with another tournament done I figured it was time to do so!  We fished Brushy Creek this past Saturday, and needless to say the fishing was tough!  There were 19 boats there competing for a first place prize of $1064!!  Out of 19 boats, 5 spots were paid and an aditional spot is paid out thanks to Bass Pro Shops for the amount of $100 in gift cards.  No boat walked away without a prize as 19 envelopes were handed out, as well as several prizes such as hats, shirts, and BBQ sauce!  Only two boats managed to bring a limit of fish to the scales, but many fish were weighed.  The winning weight was 11.75 pounds, with second place coming close with 11.60 pounds. 

Our next tournament is going to take place on Red Rock.  Despite the belief that this lake doesn't hold good fish, I'm positive that healthy bags of fish will be weighed on August 7th! Like always, I hope to see you there!
