Canceled! Water Watch Tournament

[Phil Lilley]

We are having to cancel this tournament because the Bass Pro Dock will not be back in service by June 12th and there's no place to start or finish the tournament in the downtown area.

Chances are, we will hold this tournament next June.

CANCELED: We are sponsoring a benefit fishing tournament on Sunday, June 12 here on Lake Taneycomo. The beneficiary is Ozarks Water Watch http://www.whiteriverbasin.org/ part of the Upper White River Basin Foundation. Lilleys' Landing and Bass Pro is the major sponsors.

Here's a couple of links to pdf's I've uploaded to give you the specifics -

You can catch and weigh in 4 bass and 4 trout. It's unlike any other tournament we've ever held on Lake Taneycomo.

Entry is $50 per team. After the event, Bass Pro's Fish House will feed everyone including family members one of their famous Bar-B-Que dinners so come on out and enjoy a day of fishing and fellowship for a good cause.

What is the legnth limit for bass on Taneycomo? I assume 15 inches but can't find much information on it.

Anybody planning on fishing this?

I think my dad and I are going to. We will get our butts kick with the bass but oh well, it will still be great fun!

I also noticed no soft plastics for the tournament. This will really make bass fishing interesting. Is this correct or am I reading the to much into the rules on the flier?

[Phil Lilley]

Hummm... hadn't thought about that. I use those rules in all my trout tournaments so I just copied-pasted it. I may change it. Just no live bait (worms, power bait).

Thanks for pointing it out.

What about salt impregnated soft plastics?

This may be a harder tournament than I first thought as far as restrictions on baits.

Bass tourneys- can't use live bait but can use scented and soft plastics. Trout- I need to eliminate baits that would catch a trout by letting it sit in the water motionless.

I think for this one, I'll just eliminate live and Berkley Trout Baits and that's all. See how this one goes.

So yes- those baits you use for bass, soft plastics and scented, are ok to use.

Is this still happening, was going to fish in it, but haven't heard anymore about it?

[Phil Lilley]

As far as I know it's still on. Weigh in may be tricky sine BP's dock won't be back in place but we'll figure something out.
