TTZ is hosting a striper tournament at Canyon Lake Sat the 22nd. For more information check out there website www.ttz1.com . If you have ever been to one of their bass tournaments then you know these guys like to have fun and put on a good show. Hopefully this is the first of many. Bustin' Loose will be there!!!

Is this the only striper tournament they are going to have? From what it looks like its mainly large mouth bass.

They are wanting to have 3-4 this year.

Sweet.

The website says Bass Tournament??

They are having a striper tournament in conjunction with the Bass tournament

Yes we are running two events on the same day.

Yes we are running both. The striped bass event has an earlier check in and weigh in. There is no staged launch for them either. Striped bass anglers will be heading to their spots around 6:10AM, with their first cast at 7AM. Our TTZ trail event, for largemouth bass anglers, will have a staged launch somewhere around 7AM. Weigh-in for striped bass anglers is at 2PM, and the TTZ trail event starts weigh-in at 3PM.

One more day until the fun starts, we will be at the Baja BBQ Shack on Canyon Lake tomorrow evening to take early registration. You can also register from 5am to 6am Saturday morning. Hope to meet some new anglers in the striped bass fishing community this weekend.
