Parents and anglers:

All paperwork is due by this Friday (8/28).

This is very important, especially if you are fishing SC Bass Nation or PBC. Our first tournaments are coming up and we need to get the required paperwork submitted or you will not be able to fish!!

For those that are fishing only the Inner Club tournaments the boater’s safety course should be completed by this Friday. All anglers and captains have to complete the course. Please turn in the certificate to your school. If it is easier you can email me:
[email protected]

If you are not a boat captain or an angler and would like to order a hat they are $25. They are camo with our logo on them. You can call or text me to order: 803-623-9364

For those that have ordered jerseys they are $80. If you fish a trail (PBC, SCBN, or GBN they are covered by the club again this year).

Please turn all money/forms into Mrs. Wittman (FCHS) or Mr. Hill (FCMS). If you have a child that is not in those schools please turn the money/forms into the front office and let me know ASAP so I can pick it up.

Thank you all so much!! 💚

Hey parents and anglers, I hope you are all having a great weekend so far!

Today we had a PBC coaches meeting and our schedule has changed. Please see the updated schedule. We are still group A.

**** We will now be fishing Hartwell in November instead of Clarks Hill in December****

Here is our new/updated schedules.

Also there is an application that I would really appreciate everyone completing. It will help me tremendously with the required forms I am filling out for every team.

If there is anyway you can send it to me this weekend I would greatly appreciate it!! I apologize for not having this attached to the packet you all received at the meeting.

Thank you so much!! 💚💚💚💚

Tomorrow is the final day to get those order forms in!

If you have a student in one of the Elementary schools you can turn them into the front office at their school (just send me a message so I know which school to go to!) You may also send it with a sibling that attends FCMS or FCHS if you’d like.

At the bottom of the form is the jersey info that needs to be returned if you have a student fishing GA Bass Nation, SC Bass Nation, or PBC so we can get those jerseys ordered next week.

Please don’t forget to add your boat captain’s sizes as well.

Thank you all so much!!💚
