Congratulations Team NH!!!

[WeirsBeachBoater]

Congratulations are in order for Team NH and Joe Lucarelli. Both were top winners in the Citgo BASS Eastern Regional tourney this week on Lake Winnipesaukee. Joe will be headed to the Nationals in the Spring... Congrats!!! :D

That’s great! I hope he got a nice prize. Do you know where the Nationals are held? It wasn’t until this year that I noticed that some of the tournaments and derbies have incredible prizes.

The nationals will be next April in Florida. I believe near Disney, this tournament that was just held, wasn't a big money one, more for qualifying. But if he beats a certain 13 people in that tourney he will advance to the Bassmasters Classic which is the Super Bowl of Bass fishing.

WeirsBeachBoater, can you give us a bit more info on Team NH, how much did they weigh in and were they smallies or largemouth? How about other results? Any idea of the depth ? Thanks do you have a website where the results were posted. Jeff

Why isnt anyone talking fishing now, arent you catching salmon and lake trout by the ton this time of year?

No salmon fishing allowed from October 1st until April 1st. Lake trout fishing is closed from October 1st until ice fishing starts on January 1st.

At least that's what I can figure out from the complicated NH rules:
