We are quickly approaching our first Geist Reservoir Senior Open of the 2024 season. Teams are reminded that, while we have do a full field, they will need to arrive early enough to check in for registration. Also, one member of each team MUST attend the pre tournament meeting which will be held one-half hour (30 minutes) prior to take-off.

*NOTE- Teams will have the option to withdraw from a tournament or have their entry fee moved to the following event (providing there are positions available) if the tournament director(s) is notified no later than 8:00 PM on the Sunday prior to the event. Any team who fails to contact the director(s) prior to the Sunday deadline will be considered a "No Show" and that team's entry will be included as part of that tournament's payout. 

Should anyone have questions, please feel free to contact either Lisa or I.

We look forward to seeing all of our fishing friends and get this season started with a great event!

God Bless,
