West District's Southside catfish Tournament?
Well no, but John Freeman found a good battle with this flathead During the west districts first qualifying bass tournament. It was a great turn out with 110 anglers showed up to try for the tight lipped three rivers bass. Lots of bass were turned in but unfortunately the lunkers took the day off. We had a great showing, an awesome payout, good prizes and another well run tournament. Check the results to see the final scores and check the gallery for some more pictures.
Great PABFN Representation:
Nate Golla and his partner Matt McBryan won $5000 in a local bass tournament on the Susquehanna River with a two day weight of 23lbs besting the field of 81 boats by 3 lbs. What is noteworthy here is that both anglers came up through the Berwick Bass Youth Club. The club is extremely proud the these two young anglers as we are with all our youths. This tournament was a big event in eastern PA with local news and TV coverage and was sponsored by the County tourism bureau. It's great that our Federation has young anglers out there representing our organization in a positive manner.
Great job guys.

CHAIRMAN KREUTZER ANNOUNCES
West District Chairman Kreutzer announces that at the April
West District Meeting, the membership approved a motion that instructed the West
District Treasurer to add an additional $1,000.00 to each of the 3 West
District Tournaments.This means
that each of the West District Tournaments will have a total contribution from
the District Treasury of $2,000.00.
It was felt by the West District Membership that the Anglers,
who fish the West District Tournaments, should benefit from the work of its
members and the cost cuttings measures of its officers and directors.
The additional funds will be used to increase the top prizes
and to further pay places down the leaderboard.
Good Luck in the 2010 West District Season.
