First Tourney of the Year

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 06/18/2018 - 08:08

On Saturday 6/23 we will have our first tournament of the year. Liberty Reservoir is the location. Note: the last day that you may pre-fish is Tuesday 6/19. Be sure not to be on the reservoir or fish it from shore after that date, and before the tournament. All participants must be present at the launch area, have registered for any lunker pools, drawn their starting position number and have their boat prepared to launch by 6:00 a.m. Late boats “blast off” 30 seconds after the last wave of boats that were randomly drawn. Any boat not launched prior to 6:30 a.m. is disqualified.
We're looking forward to a great 2018 tournament season!

Electric Marine Power...The next Generation

Submitted by wmarchant on Fri, 04/20/2018 - 14:12

I have been an Elco user/enthusiast for several years, I couldn't be happier to see the next generation of performance coming from Elco.
Elco Motor Yacht's EP-30 with and their new batteries are providing an all new standard of performance. As seen online in the boating magazine article https://www.boatingmag.com/electric-whaler-2025
...check out the video of the Boston Whaler topping 20 mph while getting NEARLY 20 MILES RANGE FROM its ON-BOARD BATTERIES
https://www.boatingmag.com/electric-whaler-2025#page-4
A jump in battery technology becomes available this summer - Lithium Nickel Magnesium Cobalt, which is the chemistry automobile manufacturers have settled on for the time being, brings 25 percent more power aboard at the same weight!
I spoke with senior management at Elco, who say that the production units will be on the market this Summer. I can't wait!

Metro Board and Rules updates

Submitted by wmarchant on Wed, 01/10/2018 - 13:33

It's time to start planning for the 2018 tournament season.
We have two volunteers joining the board this year, Max Marchant and Matt Elliott. Both Max and Matt have been unanimously approved by the board.
It is great to add youth to our board. The youth of our club are the future of our club. Also, the board meets every year in order to vote on rule changes and discuss the direction of the club. If any of our members have thoughts on rule changes, please submit your proposed rule change (in writing), along with your thought as to why the rule will benefit the club. Send the rule to: mraadmin@metroreservoiranglers.com (or submit to the president of the club).
Your rule will be presented and voted upon at the next board meeting.

Happy New Year!

Submitted by wmarchant on Mon, 01/01/2018 - 08:19

2018 is looking like it will be a great year for BMRA. We expect another growth in membership this year. Our community outreach, our rule adjustments, and our continuing efforts to reach out to interested anglers, (simply by engaging in conversation at the ramps), are paying dividends in recruitment of a good group of new anglers. All of our club members should be aware that each of us has the ability to bring good people into the club simply by letting people know more about us.
For any club member who is interested in joining our board, please contact a current member and make your interest known. We could use the assistance of an additional board member.
Any club member who wishes to submit an idea for rule modification, please submit the idea (in writing) to a board member. The ideas will be discussed in our annual board meeting, and voted upon.
Also: We will again be the "Host Club" for the Electric Bass Angling National Championship (EBANC) in 2018. Recruitment of additional participating clubs and sponsors begins this week.
