The Bass Fishing Team at Virginia Tech is a student run organization. Like any other student organization the total of their bankroll depends on the generosity of others. Team president Jody White asked me if I could help spread the word for their upcoming 1st Annual Fundraising Open. I was happy to oblige.

The complete release is as follows.

The Virginia Tech Bass Fishing Team is excited to present their first annual Smith Mountain Lake Open. It will be held March 4th in conjunction with Angler's Choice Marine. Angler's Choice Marine has been running high quality tournaments across Virginia since 2007 and is the leading bass boat dealer in the state. Virginia Tech Bass Fishing Team Vice President Pat Snellings says "we are excited to partner with Angler's Choice for this tournament; it should be a great opportunity for both sides and a lot of fun for all who participate."

The tournament will be a team format with a $100 entry fee per team. There will also be a raffle with prizes from JB Custom Rods, Keel Shield, Stick Jacket Fishing Rod Covers and, maybe more! Event t-shirts will be available at the tournament!

For more information you can go to www.hokiebass.com or find the Virginia Tech Bass Fishing Team on Facebook or Google Plus.

You can contact the Virginia Tech Bass Fishing Team President Jody White at jody4212 [AT] vt.edu.

If you can't make it on March 4th, consider making a donation anyways by contacting either Jody White (jody4212 [AT] vt.edu) or Pat Snellings (psnel7 AT vt.edu). Let's help these guys win another national championship.

Bass Fishing #

Believe it or not it is very competitive and we have had a pretty solid team for about 5 years now. It's not just some redneck sport where you float around and hope something bites your bait. Being successful takes a lot of skill, research, knowledge, dedication and instinct.

It's not cheap to be successful so I encourage you guys to support these guys. They represent the school very well and they will need your help to continue their success.

I'm excited for this tournament.

Bass Fishing Team at Virginia Tech #

This is a professionally led and devoted team that cares about conservation and sportsmanship. Some of the best character examples are represented as well as just what dwalt88 said about skill, research, knowledge, dedication and instinct. A fantastic team to support and it'd be great to see more college, state and national recognition for an organization that works so hard to share their passion of the outdoors and fishing across generations.

Fishing near me on Lake Murray. Good lake with a ton of structure. Gar are horrible there though! Make sure to check topo maps because in some areas there are some great submerged flats that sit in 4-10 feet of water covered on large rocks and down trees. GO HOKIES!!!!

I don't know about the bass #

I don't know about the bass fishing, but there is nothing more fun than catching stripers at Smith Mountain. Beautiful setting, and beautiful hard pulling fish.
