Vail Lake Members Only

Thank you to the teams that participated in the first of 3 events that NBW will host for Vail Lake this year. Today we paid back 100% to the anglers and Vail Lake donated the membership renewal valued at $1,750.

Thank you to our staff team, Pete Marino, Guy Williams. Guy barbecued for all while Pete checked in the boats making sure everyone had bags for the weighin. Thank you also to Jason Chang for going out of his way and coming to the event just to help. Without great staff events do not run smoothly and we are very thankful and appreciative for their support.

We will be hosting another event on May 16th for members of Vail and NON MEMBERS also. First place will be guaranteed $5,000, second place will be guaranteed 2 memberships to Vail Lake!

Hope to see you there.

18 ART HILL-MATT MAINO 0/0 0 - Is this a type-o or something?

[Lynne Peterson]

Hi Rod,

A few of the anglers thought that it was going to take more than 20 pounds to cash a check. This however was not the case.....or the norm....for Vail Lake. They threw back their catch I believe. Notheless, it was a fun day for all that participated.

Next event at Vail is open to the public. With the waters warming up a bit, the bite should be back to normal and the limits should be huge and plentiful. Rod for more information, please send me a pm.

[goseango]

15lbs?? I should have fished it from shore, might have won....:Wink:

[fishboy93]

How do u sign up for the next event? and do u need your own bass boat to be able to enter?

[Pete Marino]

Thank you Lynne and Mike for putting on another great tournament.

As far as the bite.... The bite was pretty good. Me and Guy went through about 35-40 bass. The hard part was catching the decent size bass to cull up our limit.. It seemed that the better quality bass had lock jaw on saturday. Each of the 20 teams that participated were quality teams that fish Vail often so it wasnt a case of teams just not being good enough to compete. The big bass bite was flat out tough.
I predicted that it would take 28+ lbs to win it but I think the heavy wind in the days prior to the event affected the bite some..
Congrats to The winners they got their last bass to cull up in the last 15 minutes to take the win over Me and Guy. Good job fellas!!!

I had the bass on in the 1st 15 mintues of the tournament that would have won the event for Guy and I but it came unbuttoned... :EyePop:
Oh well thats fishing... we rebounded, made adjustments and worked hard to get what we had...

Cant wait for the next one....

Thanks again National Bass West.....

And congrats again to the winners!!!!

Pete

[BingJr]

I know Chris P and he is a great guy. Im stoked his team won the event. Looks like everyone had a descent day though none the less.

[Pete Marino]

Chris seemed like a nice guy. We fished right next to him all day long.
I was the 1st boat into the cove where we fished and I let Chris come along the right side of me and I let Donny and Frank come along the left side of me and we corraled the shad and bass in the cove and they were stuck there all day. Us three boats worked great together in such close quarters...literally our boats were 5- 15 ft apart all day and we all got along great with no arguements because we all knew that we were kinda working as a team to keep the bass and baitfish in the cove.
The funniest part of the day came when Chris rubbed suntan lotion on his partners back....:EyePop: TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!!! we all got a good laugh from it!!! Now that is a dedicated partner.!! hahahahaha

i dont think vail was ever a public lake.

[Fishbreath]

It once had public access, but it was never publicly owned. It was created in 1948 when the owners of the Vail Ranch constructed the 132-foot high Vail Lake Dam, which has been owned and operated by the Rancho California Water District since 1978. The property surrounding Vail Lake is privately owned, and recreational access to the lake is privately controlled. The Butterfield Country Recreation Park was established in 1968 to provide public access to the lake and its marina, but the park was closed by its owners in 1989. In 1995, a members-only resort facility was opened at the location of the former park; and in 2000, the area was re-opened to the public on an annual-fee basis.

That is cut and paste stuff from Wikipedia. And if it is in Wikepedia, it must be true.
