The 2017 PBC Tournament Trail continues to be a part of the BASSMASTER TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! That’s right, fish our local, low entry fee trail, and you can win a chance to compete for a spot in the big dance, the BASSMASTER CLASSIC in March 2018. We will be able to send one team for every 50 participants in our trail who sign up for the BassMaster Team Championship. It adds $10 to your membership fee, but it could be the chance of a lifetime for someone.
