Longtime California Bass Contender legend and original founding member Lonnie Lautenschlager our CBC 1989-1990 Angler Of The Year has gone peacefully to be with The Lord. Lonnie joins Frank Castro, Hector Morales and many countless other lost CBC members in Heaven where I’m sure they are catching one on every cast on the big pond. The CBC mourns Lonnie’s loss and will forever keep him close in our memory and our thoughts.
RIP Old Buddy!

Hello Basscontenders. This is a message from your President Conrad Apodaca:
Hello Basscontenders:
We apologize for the late notice… hope this CBC update finds you and your family well.
With the Covid-19 stay at home orders slowly lifting the upper management of the CBC decided once again it is safe for us to begin to gather as long as we do it safely. We are recommending that you wear a mask and social distance yourself from other members as we meet and gather for the July 1st regular meeting. Please be aware some members are more susceptible to catching the virus than others so we strongly recommend you wear a mask and keeping six feet apart as a rule of thumb. Please also keep in mind wearing a mask doesn’t protect you, it protects others. We will meet in an outdoor area in San Dimas at the shop of Meza’s HVAC Heating and Air Conditioning 550 E. Arrow Hwy at 7:00PM on Wednesday July 1, 2020. Meza’s HVAC is in the rear of the complex drive to the back you cant miss it. Please bring your own folding lawn chair and come a few minutes early so we can start ontime. We have alot to talk about with several items of business not limited to but including:
1) Bass Club news and tournament updates.
2) February Piru & March Havasu standings.
3) Collect 2020 club dues $35 each member.
4) Collect all Bass Boat Insurance from EVERY active boater in attendance.
NOTE: Please bring a paper copy of your Boaters Insurance no emails or texts.
If you have any questions or concerns please bring them with you for discussion.
See you later: Big Ed!
Well we almost made it… unfortunately with county wide curfew in full effect and the continued presence of the Covid-19 virus we found no other solution except to cancel the previously scheduled outdoor meeting for the regular June Basscontender meeting. We will keep you posted as to what the future holds for our next meeting in July. We hope you are staying safe at home and practicing safe measures to keep you and your family safe.
When there is new Bass Contender news we will once again send out another update as soon as we know. As of today the California Department of Fish and Wildlife still has not lifted the hold on fishing contests in California at any level. We will continue to wait and see.
We look forward to seeing you on the water: Big Ed!
