| Tournament Schedule |
| You can view our complete tournament schedule from the home page. One thing that you will notice is that we fish ONE club tournament a month from March to November. This give our members the opportunity to spend time with their families and time to fish other tournament trails without interferring with the club. |
| Tournaments and Club Standings |
| We encourage anglers to fish together and learn as much as they can. Our tournaments are based upon a points system that has its bases built upon how anglers finish within our tournaments and attendance at our monthly meetings. Tournament payouts are based upon the total weight an individual submits at the tournament site. This provides a fair competitive environment for those anglers who wish to fish alone. |
