This year we have made no changes to the Official Rules but please refresh your memory and check the Official Tournament Rules and the Guided Division Supplemental Rules. Conservation is a goal of our Tournament. Our daily tournament stringers harvest LESS THAN ONE Texas angler's daily legal limit of gamefish, for a team composed of FOUR fishermen! Anglers are encouraged to release all fish not required for their daily competition stringer.
*The tournament stringers cannot contain more than two speckled trout 25 inches long or longer per day. *
Fisherman may enter the Guided Division (artificial lures only *see rules for exception), the regular Open Division (no guides and any legal TPWD bait) or the Hardware Division (no guides with artificial lures only).
*****Attention All Anglers*****
The tournament fishing hours are
6:15 am - 4:00 pm Friday and Saturday
We will keep last year's rule change that no one may leave their boat until 6:15am for everyone's safety. This applies to all Divisions regarding when anglers may enter the water to wade in the morning.
Please check the revised Official Tournament Rules and the Guided Division Rules Supplement.
The Weigh Station is open from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm each day.
!! At least one team member must be in-line with the team's fish by 5:00 pm !!
Don’t be late to the weigh-in!

This tournament ended on
In the event of severe thunderstorm warnings or dangerous weather conditions prior to the start of the tournament, the day’s fishing will be delayed or postponed. Tournament directors will fly red flags at the Port Mansfield Pavilion. When the flags are lowered, the tournament will resume. If inclement weather conditions occur during the tournament, it is the entrant’s responsibility to seek safety until safe conditions prevail.
Boat captains, please remember to wear your Kill Switch whenever the boat is underway!
