FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TBF “No Entry Fee” Divisional Championship Series back in 2010
February 1, 2010
Ponca City, Okla. - The Bass Federation (TBF), the national leader in NO cost or low cost tournament fees, announced today the dates and locations of seven events in the 2010 TBF “No Entry Fee” Divisional Championship Series. The Division Championship Series is expanded this year to seven events due to the growth of TBF and the new structure of the current TBF Western division into the new Northwest and Southwest divisions. The seventh division will cut drive time in half for our western anglers.
To qualify for their home State Team, TBF members only fish local state TBF federation qualifying tournaments. “On a national average, TBF members pay less than $200 total per year in state entry fees, which includes full TBF and FLW Outdoors membership,” TBF President, Robert Cartlidge, stated. “Earn a spot on the state team, and everything past the state level is a no entry fee event. TBF is the industry leader in no cost and low cost tournament fishing opportunities and we are proud of that fact.”
Starting at the TBF Divisional Championship Series, anglers compete with no entry fees and cash payouts. Two anglers from every state progress to the TBF Federation National Championship, to fish for over $200,000 in cash and prizes, from there, 14 TBF anglers will move on to FLW Outdoor’s BFL All-American. Also, the top two anglers from the TBF Federation Championship earn a berth in the Forrest Wood Cup, all for no tournament entry fees! The TBF National Champion also earns the “LIVING THE DREAM” prize package to include; cash prize, fully paid entry fees into the FLW tour, travel funds and use of a wrapped Ranger Boat and Chevrolet truck for the year!

Conservation Officer P. J. Bartolotto has been working diligently keeping NJBF members posted on all current issues. Here is more news and information that he would like to share once again.
Free marine fisheries registration website? The website is: https://www.countmyfish.noaa.gov/
You can go there and register for free until the new regulations with fee are made for 2011. This effects anyone who is fishing tidal water where anadromous fish (ie. stripers, herring, shad) are present but not targeted.
If you have the potential to catch one of these species then you do need to register. Obviously, this registration is necessary to fish the Delaware River and the Upper Chesapeake on our schedule this year. Please email me with any concerns on the new legislation as I will be working with the NJ State Federation of Sportsman’s Club to have input on the upcoming regulations.
Thank you,
P.J. Bartolotto |

A. The Handing out of Plaques awards will be given.

UNITED and CRUZ REPEAT
Submitted by: Nick Angiulo
Perhaps the most difficult achievement in New Jersey tournament bass fishing is winning a New Jersey Bass Federation Team Tournament. The yearly Team Tournament, which pits the top six anglers from each participating New Jersey Bass Federation club against one another in a two-day, cumulative weight event, brings New Jersey’s best bass anglers out to compete. Under this backdrop, one club has managed to defeat New Jersey’s best clubs for a second consecutive year by easily taking the 2009 Team Tournament by nearly 14 pounds.

The New Jersey Bass Federation is an organization of chapters dedicated to the sport of bass fishing. Over the years, the Federation has progressed in scope from a bass fishing club to the voice of concerned anglers throughout the state.
Local chapters within the organization work with civic groups and communities to inform, educate and assist in environmental and localized issues.
The Federation produces an annual magazine, The Reel to Reel which serves to act as an annual recap of chapter contributions, events and tournament statistics. Other statistical information from the Federation record books is also included for reference.
The Federation has formed Junior Chapters for youngsters under the age of eighteen. These chapters are scattered from north to south and are mushrooming in membership. The goals of a junior chapter are to teach children the value of the outdoors and how to maintain an ecologically sound environment, as well as how to fish for bass.

I’ve decided to keep a log of my adventures at the 2009 TBF National Championship, which is scheduled for Bull Shoals Lake in Branson, Missouri from March 12 through March 14, 2009. I qualified for this event as a Co-Angler after finishing as the second place angler from New Jersey at the 2008 TBF Mid-Atlantic Divisional event held on Lake Erie. Read all and view gallery
Ethanol Issues - Highly important for boaters to read !
How this affects boaters:
There are two issues – one is a safety issue for those boats equipped with fiberglass gas tanks, generally those made before the mid-80’s. Ethanol tends to dissolve certain resins, which then find their way through the engine intake and coat intake valves, which makes them stick causing bent pushrods or worse. More important is the possibility of a gas tank degrading to the point of leaking. As anyone knows, gas is the bilge is an explosion waiting to happen....Read More
