The BLT Striper Challenge is excited to announce our 2016 schedule. There will be a "boat captain" AOY bonus provided by the Pottsboro Chamber of Commerce and awarded at the end of the year. The boat captain with the most points at the end of the 2016 season will be awarded the bonus. The boat captain may keep the bonus or split it with his teammates. The points will be awarded based on weight and ranking in each Texoma tournament. We will have additional information posted on our website at www.usafishingtrails.com very soon.

Red Bull Clif Diving is June 3-4. You may want to consider another day for your tourny
PK

Are the Texoma and Whitney dates correct for the Feb 20 & 21 for the same weekend

44 Diesel,

Yes, the Whitney and Texoma tournaments are back to back in February.

We offer these Striper tournaments on the same dates as our Bud Light Trail black Bass tournaments.

All the Striper tournaments are open tournaments and no membership is required.

We do not expect the same anglers will fish both tournaments but they can, if they would like to.

We hope to see you there,

USAFT STAFF

Randy Wood,

We have already published the schedule for the June 4 PK tournament. It would be difficult to change it at this time.

The cliff diving should only effect a small area of the lake.

Thanks for the heads up,
USAFT staff
