All out of Umphrey's unless they change it due to bad weather. 252 total teams, 10 flights total. Gonna be an interesting site. It amazes me how big this sport has grown in the last couple of years, all my kids can talk about this week is this tourn. It will be the first time they have ever seen that many boats in one area.

^^^ I agree the female angler that will be in my boat has called me every day for the past week and a half checking to make sure I can still go (btw she can flat out fish) I think this program is great as if I had it when i was in school i would have done it. Hope everyone is safe and has a great time should be a good time with a lot of great people.

There will be more teams than 252 fish. They are still registering late teams. I had a team register today for instance and they will take registrations friday evening and the morning of the tourny. It is NOT a trailering event unless bad weather. That call will be made AFTER 8pm on friday. It is a standard tournament as far as equipment. There will be a dry boat check for lifevests, fire extinguisher, kill switch, lights and livewell before launching boat.

Just Saturday?

Yes all the SETXHSA tournaments are one day events except for the championship

Can you post a schedule here or give me a website to check out? I'm out of town this weekend, but I'd be happy to captain a boat for some kids.

Great thing to offer for the kids.

Here is a link to the Southeast Texas region website. All info is on the site including rules, dates and schools involved.

I'll be attending as a captain! Very excited to be able to bring young kids and have them experience what i LOVE!

Absolutely incredible growth just within the past few months. Gonna wake up some people and hopefully SPONSORS to the potential this sport has. Nothing this size has ever been done in this state or the country for that matter. Above all, bring em back safely captains!!

Any need for a last minute boat captain shoot me a note. Always willing to help out on events such as these...Good luck to all!

If I were you, I would be there Saturday morning at the launch. With 252 teams, there's likely to be someone with a boat malfunction. You could sure be a hero to a couple kids!

I am going to be in Vegas or I'd be there in a heartbeat. I will definitely be a captain for future tournaments.

Or you could just be on the water as an emergency contact. Kind of a rescue boat type deal. If you get with the guys organizing the tournament, I'm sure they'd be happy to have you do that. If you do it soon enough they could put your info in their checkin packet. They also send out mass texts. Your info could be in one of these too.

Thanks...not a bad idea.

The kids I am taking drew boat 143

good luck to all that will be in this tournament but above all stay safe. So far with winds forecast at 15-25 from the North West could make for some big waves coming into the pavilion. These are High School kids, if it isn't a trailering event don't risk it trying to either leave the launch or get back to the launch if you don't think its safe. We can always have someone drive your truck to another ramp to pick you up if the wind picks up midday. I will be around the weigh in all day if anyone needs to contact me. 9363668594
