The Upper Meramec Bass Club will be celebrating 20 years of good times and great fishing tournaments on some of the our finest local rivers including the Meramec, Gasconade & Osage. We also fish on some of the lakes around including Lake of the Ozarks, Tanneycomo, Bulls Shoals, Pomme De Terre and Mark Twain, just to mention a few.
Our 13 tournament schedule covers some of the best fishing waters in Mid-Missouri. Our 2008 UMBC Tournament Schedule started off on November 25, 2007 at Hwy 89 on the Gasconade River and will be ending with our Annual Fish-Off scheduled for October 12, 2008.
Every year we have what is called our Annual Invitational which is held half way thru the tournament schedule, it is usually the first saturday in June, depending on the year. This year it will be our 20th Annual Invitational and will held on May 31, 2008. With the support of Paul Wilkerson, owner of The Rafting Company, the annual invitational has been held for the last 19 years at his facilities the Rafting Company in Steelville, MO. This tournament can only be fished on the Meramec River. It is not only for just our members but also for non members to fish. There are 7 put-in places that they are allowed to start fishing from and they must be back at the weigh in at 4pm at the Rafting Company. Then all fish are weighed in, winners are announced and door prizes are given away. It is a great time for everyone. With the wonderful support of our members and their spouses in June 2007 the 19th Annual Invitational marked a club record for the UMBC with 72 boats entering to fish the Annual Invitational tournament.
The Upper Meramec Bass Club always welcomes new members. Thanks for checking out our web page and we look forward to seeing you at one of our tournaments.
