Lady Bass Anglers Association

The Lady Bass Anglers Association (LBAA) fully launches out into the deep as 2011 marks their first full year of tournament competition with four tournaments and a tour championship.

“If someone had told me that at some point we would all be running and competing in our own tour, I would have said – not me, I just fish,” LBAA co-founder Secret York said recently. “You know, I’ve said it often times that things always happen for a reason. Its great see that the LBAA is working and that it is going somewhere.”

For any woman who is interested in competing in the 2011 LBAA Tournament season the entry deadline for the season’s opening event at Sam Rayburn is fast approaching. February 15 is the cut-off for tournament entry fees to be paid for the Sam Rayburn event, which is scheduled for March 17-19, 2011. All entry feels for any LBAA tournament are due 30 days prior to the first official day of competition for that tournament. After the cut-off date, there is a $50 late fee.
