The Cal Poly Bass Fishing Club won “School of the Year” at the YETI Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) Western Conference Nov. 7.
One fish, two fish, dead fish, new fish: How fishing has changed on the Central Coast, and how Cal Poly is involved
Fishermen have bristled at the amount of government oversight, but environmentalists have been thrilled with the results.
On the line: The Cal Poly bass team
The Cal Poly bass team consists of eight members who compete against other colleges in four teams of two. Each team needs their own boat and is only allowed to fish with artificial lures, as opposed to live bait. The teams keep their five heaviest fish. When the time runs up, the team with the heaviest weight among ten fish wins.
