\u201cIt\u2019s the first time as a team that we have opened our tournaments to the public,\u201d North Laurel coach Nathan Stewart said. \u201cThe proceeds will go towards funding the 2023-2024 bass team to help alleviate some of the expenses associated with bass fishing. We understand that it can be a significant burden on parents and boat captains, with costs like truck and boat fuel, tackle, and equipment, so any contribution will greatly assist the families involved in this wonderful sport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tournament will take place on Nov. 25, which is the Saturday after Thanksgiving, starting at safe light and continuing until 3 p.m.on Laurel Lake, launching from Marsh Branch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe hope that this date will allow families to enjoy fishing together, especially when kids return from college during the holiday season,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cThis is why we are allowing three people in a boat for this tournament, even though normal bass tournaments usually cap it at two per boat. The high school format of a boat captain plus two high school anglers, combined with the holiday spirit, has led us to this decision. Our boat captains, who usually spend a lot of time driving during high school tournaments, will have the opportunity to fish as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
