Team Bass Fishing Tournaments

The LMRA Fishing Activity provides enjoyable, fun and competitive bass fishing tournaments in a team format. These tournaments are open to all employees, contractors, suppliers and their guests. You do not have to be a member of the LMRA Fishing Activity to participate in the Team Bass Fishing Tournaments; however you save entry fee money at each event and your membership fees help pay for the prizes at the end of the tournament year. So you are encouraged to sign up and become a member.

Tournament entry fees will be $40 for activity members and $50 for employees and guests. All tournaments pay back 90% in CASH of monthly entry fees received, after weigh-in.

There is a Big Fish pot available at every tournament for $5 per person and must be paid prior to fishing. Also, Flat Lands Custom Tackle is donating a tackle prize package for each tournament to the big fish winner. To see Flat Lands Custom Tackle, visit their website at www.flatlandscustomtackle.com or contact Joey Watts at flatlands247@aol.com.

There is a 7 pound or over pot also available for $1 per tournament and must be paid prior to fishing. This pot is a continuously growing pot, until someone catches a keeper that is 7 pound or over. You must be current with the pot to be eligible.
