It’s time to get signed up for the 10th Annual Casting For Kids Tournament. We are excited to announce that this year will be a little different with a new lake selection. Lake Bruin should produce a really good bag that time of the year and we hope that will attract a bigger turn out. Remember that you will receive your boat number when you fill out the entry form AND pay your entry fee. We look forward to seeing everyone this year.

Ok guys hopefully I’m going to give some clarity on a few questions we have had.

1- Yes we are going out of the State Park. But you can launch anywhere on the lake you desire. But we will have a live well check before take off and will give you a ribbon to tie on the boat in plain sight. Now my plan is to have someone or myself be at the end of the dock with the boat stalls to check live wells for boaters launching at other ramps.

2- If you haven’t fished with us before you may not know that the launch fee has been included in the entry fee. We are definitely not trying to make money off of launch fees. This is a non profit organization and all money raised goes to help kids.

3-If everyone will once you’ve launched had your live well checked. Please go around towards the swim area to wait before take off. This will keep the launch area cleared and make it easier for other boats using other launch’s to get in and get there live wells checked.

4-Everyone gets a boat number when you sign up for the tournament. Like we always do will send boats out in groups of 10 with 1 minute between flights. So the earlier you sign up the lower the boat number.

5- Also new this year Mr. Greg Terzia with Media Bass will be doing our weigh in.

We are looking forward to having a Great 10th Annual Casting for Kids event.

If anyone has any questions feel free to give me a call.
