It's going to be a good weekend to be on Russell. The big girls are ready to move up so the bite should be great. This will be a CLOSED tournament so membership is required. I expect around 40 ~ 45 boats for this event. Maybe more because I had 59 last week on Hartwell and have over 130 members now.
Lake Russell – Calhoun State Park
Saturday, April 4th, 2020 Safe light till 3 pm (I'll start taking entries around 5:30am)
$25 entry fee per boat (team event but you can fish alone)
We will have two side pots...
1. $20 side pot where it's “winner take all” at the end of each tournament
2. SIX POUND pot where it only pays out if someone catches a bass over 6 lbs. The money rolls over to the next tournament if no one does. (Currently at $350 after Hartwell)
No live bait and no trolling
All state and local laws apply
Due to the current situation with the virus I will be making a slight change with this event just like I did on the Hartwell tournament last Saturday.
First off... I am still having the event! But I have to face the fact that some of our members have health risks and do not feel safe in a gathering of 50 or more people. Therefore, I will not have this as a POINTS or PERFECT ATTENDANCE tournament. IE: If you decide to sit this one out... you will not be penalized with an absence.
It will still be a membership only tournament and we will still have the SIX POUND and $20 SIDE POTS. I appreciate everyone's understanding with this very serious issue.
Membership is only $25 per person if you're interested. Send me a quick email if you want info about the club and I'll send you a copy of the 2020 Rules, Schedule, and Membership form.
