Two
Club Records Broken at Glen Lake in 2018
The father and son team of Dave and Chris Gutuskey managed
to break two long standing Club Records in 2018. On
day one of the tournament at Glen Lake, Chris caught a nice
5.98 pound Smallmouth, breaking the 5 year old Record set by
Greg Choiniere of 5.94 pounds. Then on day 2, Dave
caught a very respectible 6.31 pound Largemouth in the same
general area of the lake. They should both be
congratulated on their nice fish... |

Devon Banks Seminar at
the Junior Bassmaster Meeting in February
Local Pro Angler Devon Banks came out to our February Junior
Bassmaster meeting and provided a great semiar. Devon
showed the boys what being a pro is all about. He
covered topics such as how to get and retain sponsors,
social media exposure, types of baits that have been
sucessful for him and how to prepare for tournaments.
There were lost of questions from the boys. Devon did
a great job. |
2016 Club Banquet a Big
Success...
The annual Michigan Bass Anglers Club Banquet went off
without a hitch. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
We had around 40 people at the banquet this year.
Northfield Township Fire Department allowed us to use their
great Fire Station Training Room again this year, a big
thanks goes out to Deputy Chief Chris Bishop and the on duty
firefighters for putting up with everyone once again. All of
our Junior Bassmasters received award plaques this year for
the efforts all season. Watch for pictures in the near
future... |
Marcel Veenstra Seminar for Michigan Bass Anglers
Marcel Veenstra put on yet another
great seminar for our Youth club and some adult club
members. The seminar was hosted by the Northfield
Township Fire Department in Whitmore Lake. Marcel
spent over two hours answering questions, showing the group
the latest baits and talking about his 2014 season on Lake
St. Clair. He gave the boys tips on the newest baits
as well as some old stand byes. He talked about how to
approach inland lakes and how to dissect them for tournament
day. Marcel always does a great job. If you ever
need a great guide for many of the inland lakes or most of
the Great Lakes, contact Marcel. |
2014 Club Classic was a tough one...
The 2014 Michigan Bass Angles Club
Classic was a really tough tournament. We fished the
Portage Chain of Lakes on a brisk Sunday the first weekend
of October this year. The weather had changed and the
bite got tough. Only 5 keepers were brought to the
scales between the 5 top anglers. Dan Wagner took the
honors with a total of 3.27 pounds for his two fish.
Dave Gutuskey brought in two keepers for 2.89 pounds.
Gary Emerson managed one keeper for 1.53 pounds. Brian
Lobkovich, a prospective new member fished the tournament as
a Marshall and managed to bring in 3.73 pounds with two
fish. Tyler Leggat, a MBA Junior Bassmaster who was
also fishing as a Marshal, brought in one fish for 1.64
pounds. Everyone is really looking forward to the 2015
season and hoping things pick up. |
Michigan
Bass Anglers Seminar Featuring Devon Banks and Michael
Carver was a big success
We had a great seminar at the January
2014 Junior Bassmaster meeting. Turnout was great.
Devon and Michael both discussed tournament fishing,
sponsorship opportunities, fishing Lake St. Clair as well as
several other great topics. Devon and Michael are both local
pros who fish a lot of the national level tournament like
FLW and Bass Pro Shop. The guys opened up and answered
questions our JBM's had for them. There were no
limits. We want to thank them both for taking the time
to come out and share their vast experiences with everyone.

Chase
Serafin wins 2013 Michigan BASS Nation Junior State
Championship
For the 3rd year in a row, one of our Junior Members has
taken First Place in one of the two age groups at the
Michigan BASS Nation Junior State Championship. Chase Serafin managed to pull a very respectable 15.66 pounds of
Smallmouth Bass form Lake St. Clair on Sunday June 30th.
Chase took first place in the 15-18 year old age group,
while one of our newest members, Gunner Wilson took 2nd
place in the 11-14 age group with 11.72 pounds, just ove a
pound out of first place. The entire Junior club
showed up in the new Club Shirts and and did a great job of
representing the club. Almost all of the boys caught fish
again this year. They made us very proud again this year.
Chase will be going to South Dakota along with David Aukema
from the Macatawa Bass Cubs who took first place in the
11-14 age group for the B.A.S.S. Northern Divisional Junior
Championship. That is just one step away from the
B.A.S.S. National Championship. We all wish Chase the
best of luck in South Dakota... |
First
Ever Junior Junior Club Member Tournament Held May 11th
We had a first for the club recently. At the request of
several of our Junior Junior members, which are the 5-10
year olds, we held an "all fish" tournament on Kent Lake on
Saturday May 11th. All of our little guys showed up
all decked out in the new Michigan Bass Anglers club shirts
and fished out of our club boats in a 3 hour tournament.
They were allowed to use any baits they wanted including
live bait, to try to catch either Bass for a Bass Tournament
or Panfish for a Panfish tournament. You could feel
the excitement at launch. The bass were tallied on our
club Golden Rule tournament sheets while they simply had to
keep track of how many panfish they caught all day. A
total of 5 club boats helped out. The boaters were
allowed to help out the Junior anglers any way they wanted,
the kids just needed to be involved in some way in the fish
catch. That included help reel the fish in after the
boater or parent set the hook. The whole idea was to
get the young anglers out on the water and expose them to
the tournament fishing experience. They all had a
great time. The boys even managed to have a bunch of
energy afterwards to run and play in the park. A perk
after the tournament was a picnic lunch we had for everyone.
We had chicken, chips and pop after we came in off the lake.
In all the tournament was a huge success. The parents
seemed to enjoy the day was well. This was a perfect example
of how much interest the younger kids have in fishing and
the sport in general. |
Michigan
Bass Angler, Junior club member, takes 2nd place in Lake St
Clair Walleye Association April Derby.
Joey Elliott, a Junior Michigan Bass
Anglers Youth club member, caught a 19 3/4 walleye, to beat
his brother Davy, 18 1/2 inch to take second place on their
new Triton boat, from
D and
R Sports. First, place was 20 1/2 inches. The boys won a
new fishing rod, two fillet knifes, fishing line, and soft
plastic baits. The fish was caught jigging in the Detroit
River, with over 40 boats in sight on a sunny Sunday
morning. It is very obvious that fishing is in his blood.

2012 Banquet was a great success...
This years Michigan Bass Anglers Banquet and Awards
dinner was a big success. We had around 60 people at the
banquet .We did a pot luck dinner again this year and we had food
galore. Everyone brought a dish to pass. All of our
Youth Club members got their trophies as did the top finishers in
Angler of the Year and Mr. Bass in the adult club.
We
also handed out Certificates to all of our "Junior" Junior Angles
for helping out at various evnets this past season. We also
handed out lots of fishing baits and other prizes to all of the
kids. The Junior Anglers of the year were also awarded a nice
Oakley/Quantum Fishing rod for their efforts. We would like to
thank the Northfield Township Fire Department for providing their
training room for the event.

Our Club is currently recruiting new members, especially
boaters. If you are
looking for a club that is a lot of fun and easy going and one that
will help you learn a lot about bass
fishing, especially if you have never been in a Bass Club Before, we
may be your club!!
