2012 Angler of the Year:
CONGRATULATIONS to 2012 Angler of the Year, Robert Johnson. Robert finished the year with a total score of 1070. The year was challenging year due to the limited lakes to fish due to the low water levels.
Meeting and Club Reminders:
RCBC Calendar has been updated with meeting and tournament dates.
Tournament Reminders:
You must be in line by 30 minutes after the stop time to have your fish weighed. This was discussed at our meeting and only if you are in line by 30 minutes after the stop time, will your fish be weighed. Not on the ramp, in the parking lot on boat, etc.. You must be in line!
You must pay your entry fee before you weigh your fish or they will not be weighed.
Please Do Not Call tournament directors or board members later than 10:00pm CST to sign up for tournament.
Also as a reminder, please try your best to keep fish alive. With summer months on us, fish will need ice, aeration or Keep Alive granules to keep fish alive.

Club News
The River City Bass Club of Austin continues a long standing tradition of purchasing and distributing Christmas dinners on Christmas Eve. This is one of the favorite traditions for the bass club and represents one way of giving back to the Austin community.
This year, the club was able to provide 26 full meals of turkey or ham to 25 families in the greater Austin Metropolitan area. Meals were purchased from funds raised by activities associated with the club's annual open tournament.
Additional money came from friends of the club that contributed independently and from club members own pockets to add more food and small gifts for the families.
This year, members helping with the meal distribution are: Robert Johnson, Tim Champlin and his son, Don Blumrich, Dennis Creech, Dan and Joan (?) Clawson, Roy Aleman and CA Aleman.
