The Idaho Bassmasters regular monthly meeting is this week, Wednesday, March 3, 7:00pm. social, 8:00pm. meeting at Canyon Creek Restaurant, 1411 Shiloh Dr., Nampa.  Topics of discussion will be the upcoming tournament including the Club tournament and IBM Open, both at Brownlee Reservoir, Woodhead.  For the club tournament we will want to determine boater/non-boater participation.  In this tournament, members who will be fishing in the IBM Open as a team, can also use the club tournament as a pre-fish and fish together.  Remember, this is an exception to the rule.  Any other club tournaments non-boater members other than family, will go into the non-boater draw. We will finalize the IBM Open planning as well. 

The Expo Sportsman Show opens this Thursday, March 4.  IBM will man the 2-hour segment, Thursday, March 4 for the TIBF Reel Kids casting event.  IBM will also assist with the Saturday, 5-7pm. event.   All volunteers have FREE entry into the show.  We will also need unused plastic baits to be donated for the event.  These baits are handed out to the kids following their cast.  This is a great way to review your bait inventory and clear out those baits you never used.  The kids love getting them and goes to a good cause!

IBM will also restart the monthly Share-A-Technique this Wednesday.  This weeks presenter will be President Tony Shuyler.
