CANCELLED $ 2000.00 SAPD Big Bass Tournament - 01/22/21 06:03 PM
S.A.P.D. Bass Busters
42nd Annual BIG BASS TOURNAMENT
CHOKE CANYON (MARCH 6, 2021)
HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Due to New regulations on Tournament procedures:
• You can NOT have more than 35 Boats, unless you get a SPECIAL PERMIT
• Special Permits REQUIRE a 90-day application process to have tournaments. We were just informed of this new requirement on February 3, 2021 by the NEW Park Superintendent, that took over in January of this year.
• Also, No pay out or collection of Prizes on Park grounds, without the required Special permit.
WE ARE SORRY THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO HOLD THE TOURNAMENT ON THE 1ST WEEK OF MARCH LIKE WE HAVE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AT CHOKE, BUT WE WILL BE BACK (WITH THE NOW REQUIRED SPECIAL PERMITS).

Good Ol’ govt. Let’s hope this is as bad as it gets, hope we don’t turn into California.

You should have quit counting at 34 boats.
Good luck next year.
Do they have rules against everyone pitching in to pay the winner`s gas?

Here is the link that Diego sent to SAPD BASS BUSTERS.
https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/park-requests-application/https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/pwdforms/media/pwd_1432_p4000_state_park_emergency_plan.pdfSaid Special request permit takes 90- days to be approved.
This is all NEW to us, we have been doing this for the past 20 years at Choke Canyon, with no problems.
