| Crabtowne Bassmasters Annapolis, Maryland |
| 2006 Season Recap (11/28/06) Crabtowne Bassmasters, a Maryland Bass Federation member since 1974, enjoyed a full 2006 club tournament season. Crabtowne typically fishes 9 or 10 tournaments a year and we sponsor a yearly Team Tournament. We are a flexible club that believes in an enjoyable, competitive, and friendly atmosphere. This year we fished waters in Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland. We also sponsored our 16th annual Team Tournament on the Marshyhope. 2006 saw significant impact from the weather. Through high winds, freezing temperatures, or torrential rain, we slogged though our schedule. This year we found it necessary to change ramps, tournament locations, and we even had to postpone a tournament. In the end though, we got it done! 2006 was eventful. We had several new members join the Club, we revised and rewrote our Bylaws, we participated in the Southern Region Team tournament, and we even started a Club web-site. This year’s tournament winners were: Adam Bolling (Anna #1 & Potomac #2), Steve Carman (Potomac #1), Jeff Casey (Sassafras), Alan Thacker (Wicomico & Anna #2), Jim Pitt (Nanticoke & Marshyhope), Roger Shirkey Sr. (Gunpowder). Steve Carman carried a 1st place finish and two 2nds to capture Mr. BASS for 2006. As the 2006 year closes, the Club is looking forward to the 2007 season. We’re still looking for new members, boaters and non-boaters. |

| Crabtowne Bassmasters: 2007 Season Recap Crabtowne Bassmasters, a Maryland Bass Federation member since 1974, enjoyed a full 2007 club tournament season. Crabtowne typically fishes 9 or 10 tournaments a year and we sponsor a yearly Team Tournament. We are a flexible club that believes in an enjoyable, competitive, and friendly atmosphere. We had our Annual Banquet at the Olive Tree restaurant in February. Awards were presented to Mr. Bass and the Tournament winners. This year we fished waters in Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland. We also sponsored our 17th annual Team Tournament on the Marshyhope where we also did a park clean up to help with conservation. 2007 did not hinder us from the weather. Though we still had the occasional high winds, freezing temperatures, rain, and fishing behind other clubs and major tournament schedules, we still got through our schedule and managed to bring in a few fish. This year we added discussions on the ‘how-to’ of bass fishing with various club members as speakers. We featured a raffle at the end of our meetings this year that always had a few winners and we always seem to follow the meetings up with a stop at Five Guys in Edgewater to talk about what else…… FISHING. We had several new members join the Club for 2007. Some of members now have new boats. This year’s tournament winners were: Susquehanna: Roger Shirkey Sr., Potomac 1: Shawn Jones, Wicomico: Steve Carman, Potomac 2: Shawn Jones, Sassafras: Denis Schanberger, Nanticoke: Jim Pitt, Marshyhope: Jim Pitt, Rappahannock: Alan Thacker, Lake Gaston (2 day): Shawn Jones, Potomac 3: Steve Carman. Shawn Jones carried three 1st place finishes and one third place finish to capture Mr. BASS for 2007. Steve Carman has the lunker for the year, along with the heaviest stringer. As the 2007 year closes, the Club is looking forward to the 2008 season. We are considering a club trip together to some of the upcoming fishing shows during the off season. We’re still looking for new members, boaters and non-boaters. |
