Sportsman's 2022 Fish Your Bass Off is back again!
Grab a fishing buddy and join us for our annual bass fishing tournament on May 1st, for your chance at some BIG CASH PRIZES for largest total weight and the coveted BIG BASS crown! This year, we're taking pre-registrations online as well as inside Sportsman's, and that pre-registration is open NOW.
Team entry is once again $30. Online registration closes on May 1st at 6am. You can also register in-person until 10am on May 1st. FYBO Rules are posted within the registraion page, and are also available here for reference.
NOTE: online registration enables you to skip in-person registration prior to the start of the tournament. If you register online, we will enter you into the check-in board automatically. You only need to show up on tournament day to check in your catches, between 12-4pm on May 1st.
