It's finally tournament week! Thanks to everyone that came out last night. I saw a lot of new faces so I am looking forward to an other great season. This is the 39th consecutive season for the Chattanooga Bass Association. All signup locations have the boxes and are waiting on you to come and sign up. Below is the information about the tournament Saturday. A big thanks to all of our sponsors but especially Johnny Stansell at DJ's Marine Electronics our tournament sponsor for this event. If you are in need of any type of electronics make sure to give Johnny a shot at your business because he will absolutely save you some money and the service you will get is first class.
I am expecting blast-off to happen about 7AM. If you are not in the water when your boat number is called you will go out last. For you new guys I would shoot to have the boat in the water no later 6:30. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded trying to get the boats in.
