Championship Qualification: Fish 4 events to qualify for Sept. 2nd Championship.

Jr. Angler Competition: Solo series allows one adult angler per boat, angler may choose to have a Jr. Angler join them 16 years of age or under to compete against other Jr. Anglers in a one bass competition for a $50 gift card from one of our sponsors.

Is there an enrty fee for the kids?

No entry for the Jr. Anglers. Our sponsors provide the payouts with gift cards.

any idea on how many boats will be in the team opens.

It will depend on the weather as much as anything. I am going to guess somewhere between 25-40 teams. This is our first time to offer Free Memberships on any trail. I am not sure how the anglers will embrace it.
Come join us and lets see where we land.

Thanks
Mark

So do we register the morning of the tournament?

Yes Sir, registration begins at 5:00 AM at the restaurant. You can register Friday evening as well at our RV that is parked next to the pavilion on the waterfront @ The Minnow Bucket but you will still have to stop by in the morning for livewell check. After livewell check head to your Lake Fork ramp of choice, you may launch but remain at the ramp until 6:30AM start time. Fish until 3:00PM, reel em up and head back to the Minnow Bucket pavilion on the water front and check in by 3:30PM. After check in you may bag your fish and bring them to the scales. You will have until 3:45PM to be in line at the tanks.
