    • If day 2 of this tournament is canceled, then the leaders of day 1 will be crowned the winners.
    • Should both scheduled days of this tournament (April 28th & 29th) be cancelled due to a weather-related circumstance, then Sunday, April 30th will be used as a rain out day and we will use the day 1 takeoff schedule.

    • We have been contacted by TWRA that Bay Springs Lake contains Alabama Bass, which are considered an invasive species in Tennessee.  They have encouraged us to not allow participants to harvest fish from Bay Springs Lake and bring them into Tennessee.  So, we are prohibiting fishing south of the Highway 25 bridge in Yellow Creek, Mississippi during all Championship Week Events!!

• USA BASSIN will not hold a Divisional or a Regional Tournament on Pickwick Lake

• There are currently no photos to be shown here.
