IPB Anglers Heading to Rathbun

On May 19, the anglers of the Iowa Premier Bass series will be attempting to match their success from their 2011 event at Lake Rathbun.  Last year’s event might have been the most impressive 1 day event in Iowa bass fishing history.  First place was over 24 pounds.   There were 4 bags over 20 pounds and 10 bags over 18 pounds.  Of the 35 boats, there were 23 limits, and to top it all off, Dave Van Houten brought in the biggest bass in the nation for all NBAA events with a 7.62 whopper!  Can you feel the anticipation building?

Early registrations are due in by Monday May 14.  If you have not mailed in your registrations, you can register online by clicking here.  If you miss the early registration period to get in the boat draw, you can pay at the ramp and be launched following those who paid early.

IPB Anglers Survive the Three Mile Thump

While it was not snowing and blowing 30 miles per hour, conditions were still less than favorable for the kick off event of the 2012 Iowa Premier Bass Series.  A month ago, this looked like it was going to be a great tournament with some huge weights.  Dirty water and dropping water temperatures changed that in a hurry.

Most anglers stuggled thoughout the day, but a few teams managed to scratch out a limit.  The team of Jordan and Franker topped the field with a 5 fish limit weighing 14.28 lbs.  Wailes and Bryant took 2nd with 13.09 lbs, and Fisher and Knight took Big Bass with a 5.67 dandy.  For complete results, please click here.

The next IPB event is May 19th at Lake Rathbun.  Last year’s Rathbun event was unbelievable.  The team of Lovell and Lovell took first place with 24.12 lbs.  The top 4 places had over 20 lbs, and the top 10 had over 18!  It will be interesting to see how this year’s event plays out.

IPB Kicks 2012 Tourney Season Off at 3-Mile

The Iowa Premier Bass Series kicks off their 2012 tournament season on Saturday April 21.  Last year’s kick off event saw 42 boats on a cold and windy morning.  This year’s weather should prove to be much more favorable.  With water temperatures in the mid to upper 50′s,  there should be some nice bags of fish brought to the scale.

Early entries to get in the boat draw are due by Monday April 16.  You may pay at the ramp, however, those who do will blast off after the early entrants. 

IPB now offers the ability to pay you entries on line.  Click here to be redirected to their site.

Morel Mushrooms Are Popping In Iowa

That’s right folks.  The last week or so of March has seen a good number of Morel Mushroom harvests in Iowa.  I have been watching pictures on Facebook popping up for the past few days.  They have mostly been the small greys, but bigger yellows are appearing as well.  Though it seems a little early for Morels, the conditions have been right.  Don’t wait in the calendar this year.  If you do, you might just be missing out!
