I had a customer tell me recently that there is a bass fishing tournament on Lake Corpus Christi. I have been out there twice and everything I see is either catfish or gar. I have only spent a total of 4 or 5 hours on that lake but I haven't pulled a single bass out of it.

Did the bass population grow in the last two years or have I just not spent enough time on that lake? I live in Corpus and I have to go all the way to Coleto or Falcon. It would be nice to have something near by I can go hit in the afternoons.

We do have a tournament each on Friday nights while we have the daylight savings time. There are some very good bass in Corpus.

Pat with South Texas Marine and I have come up with a 6 tournament series that we believe will be fun for all! These tournaments will be out of the State Park north ramp. Fishing time will be from 5pm and must check in no later than 8:30pm. This is a Friday evening series and would love to see a lot of participation! We know for sure that we will host a minimum of 10.

I will be at the ramp at 4:30pm to collect registration. CASH ONLY! This is an "On Your Honor" tournament. You can put in anywhere on the lake, you just must register between 4:30 and 5pm at the State Park ramp.

This will be a 3 fish limit and its hot you guys so use your fish care expertise!

We will have some hot dogs and drinks at weigh-in in order to get to know each other!

Back in the 80's when I lived in Corpus, I fished a lot of tournaments on Lake C.C. I havent fished it in years, I think one time 2008 for an hr or two on my way to Falcon.

I bet it still has some good fish in it.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to go out and learn the lake so I can come out and fish with you all! See you soon!
