The 100% Bass Tournament went off well the beginning of October. The awards dinner was a success!

We would like to thank 100% Bass staff and volunteers who organized this tournament.

City of Clearlake Public Works staff, Clearlake Police Department with the Volunteers in Policing and the Explorers, City of Clearlake City Council, Highlands Senior Center, Local businesses and the community, Carle High School Students and Lower Lake High School Students – you guys rock!

Special Thanks to Foods Etc., Sunset Fishing Resort, Linger Longer Resort, Highlands Inn, Lakehouse Inn & Bistro, Lakeshore Bait & Tackle and Clearlake Bait & Tackle, Comfort Cuisine, Edmunds Fishing House, Lakeshore Car Wash, Jones & Lewis Chapel, Elegant Touch Salon, Thomas Hewlett DDS, and Wild About Books – this never could have been done without you!

It is because of you that people think of Clearlake when they think bass fishing.

Note – 100% Bass is coming back in 2010 and there are talks with two other organizations coming to Clearlake for their tournaments!
