Yall bring chairs tomorrow to sit in for raffle and visiting after weigh in etc. We will be swimming too after weigh in, so a bathing suit would be a good idea for the heat.

Spread the word!!!

We are at Roger’s park boat ramp on Belton for in person sign ups…. Come see us!!!

🎣 We want to clear up a typo on the original tournament flyer. The tournament will be a 3-fish limit, not a 5-fish limit.

Our goal is to provide every opportunity possible for anglers to bring healthy fish to the scales. To help reduce stress on the fish—especially with the Texas summer heat—we will begin weighing Big Bass at 11:00 AM. This will allow anglers with a potential Big Bass to get that fish weighed earlier and returned to the water as quickly as possible.

We also encourage everyone to take the necessary steps to keep your fish healthy throughout the day:
🐟 Keep your livewells running.
🧊 Add ice as needed to maintain water temperature.
💧 Use livewell treatment and oxygenators if available.
🔄 Exchange water when appropriate and handle fish with care.

Fish care is important to us, and we appreciate every angler doing their part to protect the resource while still enjoying a great day of competition. We truly appreciate your concerns and feedback. Our goal is to provide a fun, competitive tournament while doing everything possible to protect the fishery. Thank you for your support, and we’ll see everyone on July 18!
