2011 Bass Fishing Event Schedule 

Purpose and Intent
The fishing events are the core and focus of this organization. Their main purpose is to allow for a pleasant and friendly interaction in the pursuit of catching bass. The intention is to practice, develop and share skills and techniques in both the location and presentation aspects of bass fishing. We avoid the competition and stress of high stakes tournaments.

Time and Schedule
The dates, locations, and times of events are published before the season and distributed to the members.

Number of Events
The club typically has between10 and 12 fishing events per year. There is a balance of week day, Saturday and evening events. 

Drawing of Partners
Partner pairings for each event are done by drawing so that members have a different partner for each event. This assures a different learning experience each time out.

Sharing Information
The club shares fishing information before, during, and after the event. At the meeting prior to the event, lake maps and likely successful techniques and locations for time of year on a given lake are discussed. During the events, information is shared from boat to boat using radios. At the lunch break, patterns are discussed in detail. At the next meeting after the event, successful patterns and locations are discussed.

Weekend Event
In addition to the regular events described above, DBA has an annual weekend event. These are usually in the early fall, and can be anywhere, but are usually within a 250 mile radius of the meeting location.
