The 14th annual Relay for Life Open Bass Tournament is set for this Saturday, March 31.
The annual tournament is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and is coordinated by Rhonda Boyles and Jamie Sumerel.
“This is our fourteenth year to do the tournament, and it’s always been a big success,” Boyles said. “We want to thank everyone who helps make it happen.”
The tournament will begin at Slick Rock Boat Ramp on Cedar Creek at 7 a.m. this Saturday and will run to 3 p.m. Entry fee is $70 per boat, with $10 per boat for lunker (with 100 percent payback). First-place finishers in the tournament are guaranteed $1,000. There is a five-fish limit per boat.
Door prizes will be awarded, and entries are now being accepted. Take-off will be done by drawing, and the tournament will be held regardless of weather conditions.
Two contestants are permitted per boat. Large mouth, small mouth and spotted bass only will be counted. Fish must measure 12 inches with mouth closed and roll tail. All fish, except trophy fish, will be released after the tournament.
For more information or to register for the tournament, contact Boyles at 256-627-4112 or Sumerel at 256-762-5123.
