Members of the Spalding County Sportsman Club and the youth fishing our youth/buddy tournament in March enjoyed it so much we have scheduled another one. We will be fishing Bartletts Ferry from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday, May 30. The youth tournament is open to those 11 to 17 years old. This combination tournament is open to everyone and you can enter the buddy tournament with an entry fee if you want to, but the youth tournament part has no entry fee.
Youth will compete with other youth for prizes. Thanks to Gary “Pokey” Hattaway, Jack “Zero” Ridgeway, Larry Cook and https://fishing-about.com we have some nice tackle packs as prizes for the youth. For the youth, there can be one, two or even three youth in each boat with the adult bringing them, and they do not have to enter the buddy part of the tournament.
The buddy tournament has a $50 entry fee and $5 big fish pot and is a team tournament. Adults can fish by themselves or with one other adult and their combined weight will be used for the first through fourth place payback of 50 percent of entry fees. The adult can also pair up with one, two or three youth in the same boat for this weigh-in, with the best five fish for the team weighed.
Youth will keep their fish separate for their weigh-in but their fish can then be combined with adult catch for the team payback. These tournaments are always a lot of fun for those that participate.
