It’s fishing season once again here in the PNW, and the Spokane bass club is excited to get out on the water! This is year 3 of our involvement with TBF and last year we were able to send 4 club anglers to the TBF regional tournament in Tri Cities. Jeremy Kimberling was able to punch his ticket to nationals by taking 2nd place on the Co-angler side and is headed to Lake Dardanelle this March. This year we are looking to grow the club and send another 4 or more anglers to the regional tournament held in Boardman OR.
As a club were excited to announce a few changes this year. First off, we are happy to be partnering with Swate Fishing, a local company out of Great Falls MT. who have Chad Pipkins and John Hunter already on their pro staff. Their gear and tackle are found in all North40 stores in the area and online. We are excited to see this partnership and look forward to giving away their gear in all tournaments this year.
The club is also excited to be hosting 4 Open events this year, adding 2 more than previous years. We will be having our 11th annual Long lake classic and our 6th annual Long lake open as usual, and are adding a Spring Open on the Pend Oreille river in WA and a Late fall November open on CDA. We hope to add a few more options for anglers and get more time on the water fishing.
Please check out our website and give us a like and follow on Facebook and keep your eyes out for our Instagram account to start back up this year also. As always, we look forward to seeing everyone and if you have any questions please reach out via email or Facebook. Tight lines in 2025!
