Bassin Series
Team Of The Year
The team of the year will be calculated by their best 4 rounds throughout the year and will be decided after the 6 rounds as it was this year. Our team of the year for 2010 will be rewarded for their consistancy by receiving our Bassin perpetual trophy.This has been won by the same team the last 2 years, Team Loomis’s Joel Norman and Mick Pascoe. The most consistant team of the year a very prestigious award.
Grand Final
2010 will also see the inclusion of a Bassin Grand Final where the top 30 teams after the six rounds will be invited to compete in November. Just for making it to the Grandfinal will be a great achievement and for those that win, well let me say it will be most worthwhile.
Big Bucks
The Bassin Big Bucks will also be on the calender again in October after it’s inaugral success in 2009 where we had 34 teams competing.
The Bassin Big Bucks in a skins style format where anglers compete for cash over 3 sessions throughout the weekend. In 2009 over $ 10,000 in prize money was given away.

66 teams turned out for the 6th and final round of the Blue Acres/Lamiglas 2009 NSW Bassin Tournament at a picturesque Lake Glenbawn.
Even with the hot and glassed out conditions the bass were seemingly on the job and enabled the anglers to catch a record tournament haul of 421 fish at an average weight of 746grams.
Heading out in first place for the last session was the ever consistent Team Loomis who had a 780gram lead over team Bassin.Com. Mick and Joel fished fly all weekend adjacent to a weed bed opposite the soil con shed. Mick said that the bass were taking the fly very tentatively and most of the time you thought that you had picked up some weed.
Team Loomis weighed in their smallest bag for the weekend of 3.190kgs giving them a total of 12/12 fish for 11.220kgs and giving Bassin.Com a great chance to knock them off for the first place spot. With Justin & Wayne needing a 3.970kg bag they could only manage 3.270kgs giving Mick & Joel their third 1st place for the year. In contrast to Loomis, Bassin.com fished mainly reaction type Jackalls to the edges and timber lined creek beds.
Bassin.Com hung on to 2nd spot for their equal best finish for the year with a 12/12 fish limit of 10.520kgs.
For the second round in a row Team Mako’s, Steve Almond & Greg Parkes rounded out the top 3 with a 12/12 limit of 10.660kgs.
The EvaKool Big Bass of 1.570kgs was caught in Session #3 by Team Woodstocks Colin Ipsen.
With his first tournament win, Greenback Spinnerbaits angler Rhys Tiggemann took out the junior division with a 3 from 3 fish limit of 1.780kgs.
For the second consecutive year Team Loomis’s, Mick Pascoe and Joel Norman took out the Team of the year with their best 4 rounds being 3 firsts and a second adding up to an almost perfect 399 out of a possible 400.
Junior Angler of the year went to Pioneer Fish Farm’s Walter Scifleet with his best 4 rounds adding up to an impressive 396 out of a possible 400.
Big Bass for 2009 went to Bugger Me Bass’s Steve Newman with a fine specimen of 2.090kgs caught way back at the first round of the year at Lake St Clair
NSW Bassin Tournaments would like to thank all their sponsors and competitors for their support throughout 2009 and look forward to seeing you all again in 2010.
