Ok folks, we will conduct our upcoming TRCA tournament on March 4th out of the Hwy 59 boat ramp on the Trinity River. Tournament hours will be from 7am to 3pm. The captain's meeting will be held at 6:30am which one member of each team must attend. We hope to have decent flow that time of year and for those who are familiar with 59 when the river is low the ramp does not continue far enough down into the water. If this is an issue as tournament day approaches we will update and fall back on Wallisville ramp or liberty. We had a great turnout at liberty and look forward seeing everyone again! If you have any questions pm me, check out TRCA on Facebook or contact a Tournament director. Contact info below.
