This is a Team Tournament format. Bring your best five fish limit per team to the weigh-in. The $40 tournament fee per person will be collected for all participants including guests. Saturday afternoonbarbecue hosted by CBC location TBA. FYI the non boater fee is $110 plus half of the launching fees for both days paid directly to the boater regardless if you traveled together or separately. Half of the camping or lodging fees only if both anglers stay together.

TEAM FORMAT TOURNAMENT: Non active members and guest applicants are allowed to compete for prizes and awards in the team tournament format events due to the fact that your fish are shared weight with your team partner. The eligible guest angler MUST pay the regular member tournament fee to be eligible for prizes and awards. The Big Boat prize will be awarded to the team in first place. Both members in a team format will be awarded points as in a regular draw tournament. Non active members and guest applicant anglers have the choice to fish for the regular guest fee of eleven (11) tokens for a one day event or seventeen (17) tokens for a two day event. If an angler who is eligible to fish for the guest fee only chooses to enter at the reduced fee, they will not be awarded for placing or Big Fish award. This declaration MUST be made prior to launching by notifying the Tournament Director or Treasurer. If the Tournament Director or Treasurer is NOT notified the angler MUST pay the regular member tournament fee.

If I have missed any Havasu anglers on this email please forward them the information. Thanks.

See you on the water: Big Ed!

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!! (Michael Buffer voice)

The draws for the final 2 tournaments of 2021 have been completed, and we are all instore for an exciting finish.  Take a look at the AOY standings and I think you’ll see a big ol’ target on first place Conrad Jr.’s back with possibly 3 guys within striking range.  Don’t count out the guys in the 2nd bracket because there could possibly be a log jam of anglers fighting for the last Top 10 spot.  Remember, a Top 10 finish qualifies you for a spot in April’s Top 10 Shootout.

With only 2 tournaments left, this months Lake Hodges tournament results may set us up for one heck of a season finale in Arizona.

See you all on the water.

Robert
