RIP Lonnie Lautenschlager

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:

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT CONRAD APODACA:
Your President Conrad Apodaca Sr and CBC Founding Father Gabby Hayes discussed the upcoming January meeting and have decided best to CANCEL the meeting citing the current pandemic.
A MESSAGE FROM STEVE MEZA AND THE HOMIES:
If you are interested in social distancing and continuing to fish fun derby’s every month as we have been doing, give Steve Meza a call or feel free to show up at Meza HVAC shop for the fun derby discussion and draw.
We hope you all stay safe and have a Happy New Year!
See you on the water: Big Ed!

A MESSAGE FROM CBC FOUNDING FATHER GABBY HAYES:

Hello Basscontenders:
Hope everybody is staying safe and healthy. If you are planning on attending the 2021 Delta Road Trip scheduled for April 10-17 please attend the January regular meeting. Gabby Hayes needs a final commitment to reserve the rooms at B&W Resort. There will be brief Getting Down at the Delta meeting following the regular club meeting in January. If you have never been to the world famous California Delta… “then you aint down”!
Looking forward to seeing you next year. Merry Fishmas and Happy New Year from the California Bass Contenders!
See you on the water: Big Ed!
