Geezers 55+ Bass Fishing

[dirt651]

Geezers 55+ is a summertime weekday bass tournament for all 55 years of age and older. This is a “fun” way to get out on the water when it is less crowded, with old timers that share a passion for bass fishing on our local lakes and rivers. It is geared for us older guys and gals that desire a little comradery and competition. You guys and gals not 55 yet?...Sorry. Plenty of other weekday tournaments for you out there.

Sounds like a good idea. Do you have a maximum driving distance from a central location where the tournaments will be held?
Is just one working livewell good enough?

[dirt651]

Right now, I think we will be alternating between Lake Anna and Hope Springs (Aqiua)......but other waters like Hunting Run, Lake Mooney may happen also. As long as you have a working live well that will keep 3 fish alive for 6 hours...you are good.

OK Geezers. I'm not getting a warm, fuzzy feeling about tomorrow's weather...so........Tomorrow's tournament at Lake Anna has been cancelled and is re-scheduled for this Thursday...the 16th. Same time and place. Pass it along to those that don't have FB. Thanks.
