Ron Cherkas - State Team Triton Sponsorship
I want to thank the many Iowa Bass Federation members for all of the support and best wishes given to me prior to the trip to the National Championship. All I can say is guys and gal(s)....just keep trying. It is never to late to get there. Only those of you who have made or barely missed the opportunity to fish the classic know the heart break that I felt after losing the couple of fish that would have got me to the big show.


I want to thank Triton Boats, Motor Guide, Mercury and Lowrance Electronics, as will all of you, for the $3000 Alliance Contingency award that I received.
A check for $3000 matching money was sent to the Iowa Federation, which we all should take note of. This is one real good reason to purchase a Triton boat and fish the Alliance Program. I and the Federation are still waiting for the $3500 from Ranger boats from 3 years ago, which we all know will never be received.


The Triton incentive is the best sponsorship that is available to us and is even better if you are a Triton Gold Member. Please consider a Triton as your next boat, if not for the fact alone that it is a great piece of equipment, especially when rigged with Mercury, Motorguide and Lowrance.


Triton has made a very large cash contribution to the Iowa Federation in the form of a sponsorship, which we need to thank Tom Bowler for negotiating. Earl Bentz has shown us that he is truly interested in helping the Federation to succeed with an organized Federation Program. We all need to contact him and display our grattitude, and we need to consider his great product when the time arises.


Thanks again everyone, and good luck to the state team at Bays De Noc and to the qualifier who gets to go to the Harris Chain. Ron Cherkas, ron@imagetransform.com

    TOURNAMENT RULES

    Tournament Rules

     

    The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is holding a public meeting to receive comments on a proposal to change the rules covering fishing tournaments.

    The DNR proposal requires fishing tournament applications to be submitted on an electronic form as part of a new special events application system and changes the time period for application submission to no earlier than six months or later than 30 days prior to the requested tournament date.

    The meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m., Aug. 20, in the fourth floor conference room, Wallace State Office Building, 502 E. 9th St., in Des Moines.  Any persons who attend the public hearing and have special needs, such as hearing or mobility impairments should contact the Department of Natural Resources and advise of specific needs.

    The DNR will be accepting written comments through Sept. 1.  Send comments to Martin Konrad, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 502 E. 9th St., Des Moines, IA 50319-0034 or offer oral comments by calling 515-281-6976 or in person at the fisheries bureau office on the fourth floor of the Wallace Building.
