Additional Info:
A stringer may be used in some events that we are at a larger pond. This is not to inconvenience you, this is so we don't kill any fish. We will show the proper usage of a stringer with bass about 10 minutes before the event starts. You will not always have to stringer your fish but we encourage the use of one if you are not able to weigh the fish in promptly.

Location: Event # 5 - Date change!!!!Morgan Crossing Park
Address: 1719 Chaparral Dr Allen, TX 75002
This a a pretty big place and some of us have fished it before. Lots if places to fish in different ways. There are 5+ pound bass in here if you have the stuff you can catch one.
I want to be VERY clear. The pond on the black rectangle is the ONLY ONE WITH LEGAL PUBLIC FISHING. The one with the red X is not public and you will be Disqualified if caught fishing there. You have to cross the road to get to the illegal pond so as long as you stay north of Chaparral, you will be safe. The blue box is where you can park.
The Winner of of Event # 5 is Paul Corder (Sr)

Date: 2/22/2015 - 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Pearson Park, Red Oak
Address: Red Oak Public Library, 200 Lakeview Pkwy, Red Oak, TX 75154
The weather has not been cooperating lately and today's event was still on even though there was cold temps and rain. I was not able to make today's event. Thank you to Drew for stepping up and running things in my absence.
The 7 people that showed up showed serious balls for fishing through the tough conditions. You all have my admiration.
Only 2 bass were caught. Rob caught a 10oz bass and the winning bass weighed 12oz. Just enough to nudge Rob out of 1st place.

Event # 3 - ***UPDATE - Date Change***
Date: January 18th, 2015 (Sunday) - 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Ken Good Park
1498 Ismaili Center Cir Carrollton, TX 75006
Both ponds are available to fish. You will need to use a stringer since this area is so large. Remember, dead fish will get you disqualified, so do your absolute best to get them alive and well. Also, remember to join the GroupMe for Bank Bassin. I will send out updates as the event moves along.
Parking is on the North side of the ponds. There's ample room for vehicles, just be mindful of where you park so you don't block anybody in or any other traffic on the street.
*Meeting point will be at the bench between the two ponds. Meet there before and after the event for the winner to be declared.
