Our June tournament is this weekend - June 6th and 7th on Caddo Lake, we are launching from Johnson's Ranch Marina. You are able to fish both days, but the tournament results will take your best single day weight. If you are fishing both days, the tournament entry and side pots only need to be paid for 1 day, in order to fish the second day you will just pay $5 for the second day tournament big bass, we pay out a Day 1 big bass and Day 2 big bass.

Reminder - Caddo Slot - Caddo has a slot from 14" - 18". You CAN keep any bass under 14" for this tournament. Remember that the fish has to be under 14", if it touches the 14" line then it is in the slot. For bass 18" or over, you are only able to keep 4, your 5th bass would need to be under 14".

I am assuming safelight to be around 5:50am. If you are trailering, you must check in with the weigh-in official at the launch marina and you can leave to your alternate ramp 1 hour prior to safelight.

Weigh-in Officials
Saturday - JW Parker
Sunday - Tony Goodman

This Tuesday - April 7th is our Monthly meeting. We are meeting at Papacitas Restaurant in Tyler at 7:00pm.

Our April tournament is on Bob Sandlin this coming weekend - April 11th or 12th. We are launching from the Titus County 1 Ramp. This is a standard monthly tournament, but it is also our Club Championship for any anglers that fished 6 or more tournaments last year. If you are eligible, and wish to enter the Club Championship, remember that there is an additional $10 entry fee for the Club Champ pot.

ETBA,

Due to Lone Star Lake currently being closed, with no timeline for reopening, we have decided to go ahead and move our April Tournament to Bob Sandlin. This was the next lake on the schedule, so we are going to swap the months for Lone Star and Bob Sandlin.

For the April tournament on Bob Sandlin we will launch from the Titus County #1 Ramp.

Thank you,
