I've been away from the club and ALL the related sites for a while now. Sorry if this caused any inconvenience. I can't say how involved I will be this year but will try to keep the site updated to some extent. I have posted up the new schedule for 2012. I know there will be some changes to the points system this year and the fees will be going down some. I will try to make the changes as I find out about them. Also, keep an eye on the Tusc. River Stillwater Creek forum for the changes. There ... Continue reading ...
Once again, high water has moved the tournament to Tappan Lake. Registration and weigh in will be at the gravel pull off between the rest area and launch ramps on SR250. Remember, this is a holiday weekend so the lake will be busy! Continue reading ...
We will be holding a Benefit Tournament for Tanner Stine on June 18, 2011... Tanner was an up and coming 14yo motocross star who passed in a tragic mini bike accident in his back yard. He was Shannon Stine's younger brother. For those that do not know, Shannon is Rocky "Rockbass" Moore's fiance. Everyone in the club knows Rocky, and many know Shannon and/or Tanner. All proceeds from the tournament will go to the family to help with the funeral and medical expenses. $10 entry - Registration will... Continue reading ...
Finally got to fish the river! Water levels were still high but not flooded for a change. Had some decent temps but the rain would not hold off. Despite the weather and water levels, we did have some nice fish turned in. First place went to Brian Huff for a nice 5 fish stringer weighing in at 23lbs1oz total. KC Knight took Second place with 3 fish weighing 14lbs12oz followed by Dwain Hall's 4 fish stringer weighing 14lbs11oz. Zach Leach won the Big Fish pot with a 7lb7oz Channel Cat. Zach also...

Sorry for the delay in posting. For the third tournament in a row this year, the rains and water levels forced us to the lake. It was a nice night to be out fishing though! The temps stayed comfortable and the precipitation was not a factor for a change. We had 11 anglers show up and 9 of them brought fish to weigh in. First place went to Brian Huff with a 5 fish limit weighing a total of 13lbs12oz. KC Knight got Second place with a 5 fish stringer that weighed 11lbs13oz. Big fish honors went t...

As much as I hate to say it, the tournament will be held at Tappan Lake again. With all the rain, the river just will not drop to a fishable level and stay there. Add to that the muddy banks and cold water temps and you have a recipe for possible disaster. Just a reminder, this is a double points tourney! Good luck everyone!! Continue reading ...
We were once again forced to fish Tappan Lake. The river levels were looking promising until the rain from Friday night and Saturday morning started to settle in. Within a few hours time the river came up 2 feet and with muddy banks and cold water temps., safety had to be considered. The weather was a little more cooperative during the tournament with temps. in the low to mid 40's most of the night and a pretty steady drizzle with some occasional hard showers. We still had 12 people enter the... Continue reading ...
The tournament has been moved to Tappan Lake due to high water again. Meet at the gravel pull off between the rest area and main launch ramps on 250. Continue reading ...
We had some pretty rough weather for the season opener. The temps were in the low to mid 30's all night with scattered rain (snow?) showers. There were 10 participants that showed to brave the conditions and only 4 caught fish large enough to weigh in. First place went to Jeff Huff with an impressive 4 fish stringer and total weight of 8lbs 5oz. Second place and Big Fish both went to Brian Huff who found a nice 4lb 1oz channel cat. Floyd Rennicker pulled third place with 2 fish weighing a tota... Continue reading ...
The first tournament has been moved to Tappan Lake due to extremely high water on the river. The registration and weigh ins will be held at the old Cripple Creek Bait parking lot. Dress warm and dry! Let's have a good showing for the season opener! Continue reading ...

It was brought to my attention that the Classic date was posted wrong. I had posted it as Oct. 30th which is a Sunday. The correct date is Saturday, October 29th, 2011. I have corrected the schedule page. If you printed off the pdf version of the schedule, the dates should all be correct. It appears I simply had a typo on the site itself. Sorry for any confusion and THANKS to Tyler for bringing it to our attention! Continue reading ...
What types of prizes would you like to see given away at the end of the year??
Obviously, this will have to be within reason as the club can't afford
custom rods, big reels, etc. Those will be given away if we are
fortunate enough to have someone donate them. I'm looking at the smaller
prizes. Last year, we gave away the donated prizes and cash but I would
like to see us get some prizes together this year and want to make sure
they are things that will be used and not just sit in som... Continue reading ...
I've added all the photos I have which date back to the 2007 season on flickr.com. There are flash badges for each season on the photos page.

It may still be mid November 2010 but we have already begun working on the 2011 season. The schedule and rules have been posted here and on our Yahoo Group. If there are any changes, they will be made and I will post a message of such here in the news section. We have 16 tournaments scheduled for 2011 starting with April 2nd. We will be contacting possible sponsors all winter and will try to post as we get them solidified. Hoping for another awesome season. Have a safe and happy winter with al... Continue reading ...

It wasn't the best night to be out fishing but we still had 11 people show up to fish. With temps in the low 50's and a steady rain all night long, it definitely was a test of endurance. Thanks to all who pushed through the tough conditions! First place went to Renee Huff who turned in 5 fish weighing 20lbs and 11ozs. Second was KC Knight who also had 5 fish for a total weight of 20lbs and 5ozs. KC also took the big fish pot with a 5lbs 4ozs channel cat.   3rd place on: Floyd Rennicker - 4 fish -...

It was a nice night to be out fishing even though it did get a bit chilly after dark. We had quite a few nice stringers turned in along with a very nice Flathead. First Place went to Chuck Snyder who brought back 5 fish for a total weight of 37 pounds 15 ounces. This was including the big fish... an 18 pound 9 ounce Flathead. Second biggest Flathead that has been turned in this year. Floyd Rennicker took Second Place with 21 pounds 14 ounces for 5 fish. The odd fish pot was won by KC Knight wi... Continue reading ...
Once again, mother nature was not being very cooperative. Temperature wise it was a nice night to be out but the rain started right at 6pm. Had a few light drizzles moments but for the most part it rained pretty hard and steady for the first 2-1/2 hours of the tournament. Despite the weather, we still had 9 entries. All 9 returned to weigh ins but only 6 had fish. The top 3 stringers were very nice. 1st Place went to KC Knight who brought in 5 fish for a total weight of 26lbs 11oz. KC also too...

Posted by Joe Brown on Monday, August 9, 2010,
We had a really beautiful night for fishing. Clear weather and cooler temperatures prevailed for the entirety of the night. We had 12 entries and 9 of them brought fish back to weigh in. 1st Place was Brian Huff with 3 fish totaling 15lbs 1oz followed by his brother Mike Huff who also had 3 fish. The 2nd place stringer weighed in at 13lbs 1oz. Chuck Hart won the big fish pot with a nice 6lb 10oz Channel Cat that was 1 of 3 fish to land him 3rd place with a weight of 12lbs 10oz. There was no od... Continue reading ...
Well, what can we say.... Another weather ridden tournament. Mother nature decided we should start fishing with temps in the low 90's and then blessed us with cooler weather toward evening. Unfortunately, the cooler temps came with a price! The thunderstorms moved in just before 10:00 and soaked just about everyone and everything. We had 12 entries and 9 of them came back to weigh ins. 7 of which had fish and the other 2 were passengers that didn't have a choice! Taking first place with a 5 fi... Continue reading ...
Just saw that there is a Heat Advisory until about 9pm tonight. Temps are supposed to be in the 90's at the start of the tournament and calling for thunderstorms towards the end. Wishing everyone the best of luck and PLEASE.... Be safe out there! Bring plenty of fluids and watch the skies. Continue reading ...
Once again, sorry for the delay. Just got finished moving and had to wait for the internet to get hooked up. We had 11 entries with all but 3 turning in fish. Seemed to be a good night (just not for me and my partner!). First place was Renee Huff with a limit of 5 fish weighing in at 20lbs10oz followed by Zach Leach with a nice 15lbs2oz stringer of 3 fish. First place paid out $66.00 and second $44.00. Don Huff took the $22.00 big fish pot with a nice 6lbs12oz channel cat. Once again, there was... Continue reading ...
Sorry for the delay on the results. Got a lot going on right now and it's hard to always keep track of what I've gotten done!
The weather started out good for this weeks
tournament but a little too hot at somewhere close to 90 degrees. Then around 10:00 we got
hit with a thunderstorm that tested everyone's
endurance for sure. Thankfully, the storm was short lived for most that I talked to. It only lasted about 15 minutes where I was fishing. Even with the storms, we had a few nice stringer... Continue reading ...
With the high water conditions on the Tuscarawas
River, the TCBA was forced to do something that we hadn't done in a few
years, we held a club tournament on Tappan Lake. The weather was warm
and breezy with the threat of a thunderstorm but thankfully the heavy
rains held off until just after weigh ins. I think the channel cats
were on spawn but a few guys managed to bring back a couple of NICE fish.
Brock Sentz took First Place and Big Fish with a 17 pound 5 ounce Flathead landing him $... Continue reading ...
The tournament has been moved to Tappan Lake. We will be holding registration from 5:30pm to 6:00pm at Cripple Creek bait and Tackle. Weigh Ins will be at 12 midnight at the same location. Remember, if you are not in the parking lot by 12:05, you will be disqualified. A big THANKS to Darlene for letting us use their parking lot! Hope to see everyone there. Also, I believe we will be holding a closed ballot vote on whether or not to let Rocky and Rick Moore fish the rest of the season. If you d... Continue reading ...
There is a possibility that the June 12, 2010 tournament will be moved to Tappan Lake due to high water conditions. We must think of everyone's safety first. We will be closely monitoring the weather and water levels this week and have a final decision by Friday night. I will do my best to get it posted on here if it is moved. Thank you! Continue reading ...
The night started out pretty hot. I believe it was around 85 degrees at the start of the tourney and the sun was fierce. After the sun went down, it was a beautiful night. The catfish bite seemed to be tough but the gar and turtles were tearing up the baits! Are the cats starting their spawn already? It is possible. Thank you to all who made it out and hoping EVERYONE had a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend! Brian Huff took home First Place and Big Fish pots totaling $85.00 with a total weig...

We have started to discuss holding some other Tappan Lake Big Channel tournaments. This is partially at the request of the Ohio Chapter of the NAFC. The other reason is simply that we had fun fishing the lake for the Jim Corey benefit tournament. The NAFC Ohio Chapter will be holding one of its gatherings at Tappan Lake this year and have asked us to put another tournament together for that weekend. The date is not set in stone yet that I am aware but unless there are conflicts, the tournamen... Continue reading ...
It was a nice evening/night to be out cattin'. Temps were in the upper 60's most of the night with a slight breeze and an occasional shower. The showers weren't hard or long lasting, just enough to let you know mother nature was aware we were outside. The bite unfortunately seemed to be tough for such a nice night. The number of entries were down, probably due to there being 2 - 3 other catfish tournaments being held, but out of 9 entries, there were only 10 fish turned in. First place and $54...

We want to thank EVERYONE who fished in the ROUGH
weather that we had it was 45 degrees and raining off and on with heavy
winds and we still had a decent turnout and some really big fish turned
in tonight!
This was a "BIG CHANNEL CAT" tournament held on Tappan Lake with NO
boats allowed! It was put on to raise money to help Darlene at
Cripple Creek with expenses!
We had 12 entries which resulted in $120.00 to help Darlene out and a $60.00 first place prize.
1st-----Brian Huff-----... Continue reading ...
The forecast was for scattered thunderstorms but fortunately, we were spared. It turned out to be a good night for fishing as far as the weather was concerned. The bite, on the other hand, did not seem to cooperate with most of our anglers. We had 14 people enter and only had 4 come back to weigh ins with fish. Those that did find the cats, found some decent sized ones with a total weight of 64 pounds 12 ounces for 10 fish. First place and $81.00 went to Bruce McNemar with a very nice 26lb 1oz...

The TCBA will be holding an open Catfish Tournament in memory of Jim Corey. We will be donating two-thirds of the entry fees to his wife Darlene to help with medical bills and the upkeep of Cripple Creek Bait and Tackle. Tournament will be held May 8, 2010 Registration will be from 5:30pm to 6:00pm at Cripple Creek bait and Tackle on SR 250 Weigh ins will be held at 12 midnight at the gravel pull off located between the rest area and the newly remodeled boat ramp on SR 250.

We will be working out the details of a TCBA sponsored Jim Corey Benefit Catfish tournament. Plans are for a weekend in May between our regular scheduled tournaments. All information will be posted as soon as it is available! Continue reading ...
With a major cold front blowing through and temps
starting out in the mid 40's at starting time and dropping into the
upper 30's by weigh in the fishing was TOUGH and the turnout was
down a little. Some guys still managed to find the BIG FISH and we
had some outstanding weight totals turned in! Out of 14 entries, 5 managed to get on some fish. We had a total of 13
fish turned in for a total weight of 73 lbs 8 oz!
First place and $81.00 went to Zach Leach with 4 fish weighing in at 24 pou... Continue reading ...
The next tournament is this Saturday, April 17, and the weather forecast is, in one word, COLD. Looking to be a high around 50 to 55 degrees dropping possibly all the way down to a bone chilling 35. Haven't seen any rain forecasted tonight although they were calling for some earlier in the week. I would recommend some warm weather gear and possibly the wet weather gear just in case. I have seen reports that the Flatheads are starting to bite so might be something to think about. Location and ... Continue reading ...
Had a nice turn out with 19 paid entries. The weather tried to cooperate by blowing the rain past us but the wind forgot to stop! It was 70 degrees, overcast, and windy at the start of the tourney and dropped down to about 48 degrees by weigh in time. Colder than they were forecasting but still not a bad night to be cattin'. We had 8 people turn in a total of 13 fish. Pretty good considering the bite was still kind of slow. Just the early season or did the overcast windy conditions have a pla... Continue reading ...
First tournament of the year is tomorrow. Looks like the weather will be somewhat cooperative. Checked 2 or 3 forecasts and all are calling for about the same. High around 80 by 5pm and a low of 47. Thankfully they say we wont hit the low until around 7am. Calling for around 55 at midnight for our weigh in. Now, the bad news. Everyone is calling for somewhere between showers and isolated thunderstorms. The only upside to this, is the rain should hit between 4pm and 6pm. I would still advise b... Continue reading ...
Well, it is that time of year. The weather is starting to break, the water is warming, and the fish are becoming active. The first catfish tournament is coming up fast. April 3rd will be here before we know it. Hope to see all of the regulars there. It is a double points tournament and this early in the year, the weather tends to be unpredictable as do the fish. Good luck and tight lines to all! Continue reading ...
