This is straight from Chuck Murray, NC Bass Nation president. He sent this in an email to Bass Nation members earlier this week:

Hey Guys, Keith Joyce, our treasurer, Marty Stone (MLF) commentator and myself (NCBN President) have been working on this project since June 22 and finally got NC Wildlife on Board. We as fishermen have a chance to improve our lakes. We are stocking Norman, Jordan and Gaston to begin with F1 Largemouth. . NC Wildlife will need a check from us before end of February for this year's stocking in April. We need your help to make a difference. Please read the website and donate personally or through your club. We don't want to lose a year so try to donate before 2/15. Every dollar we raise, NC wildlife has a 3 to one matching grant available. So $1 will stock 8 fish, $100 will stock 800 fish, so don't delay.


Here is the link to our website: https://www.ncf1bass. The F1 largemouth is a 50/50 Northern and Florida strain bass. 10+ pounders are common and some achieve larger weights. Let's make it happen. Could also use some help in stocking in some of the lakes when the time comes. $5 dollars help so anything will do. We pay $100 or $200 for a rod, $200 will by 1,600 F1's. Please consider donating. Thanks Chuck Murray
