The first annual Bass Pro Shops Panhandle Tournament Schedule was established to add a level of competition for local anglers and support local conservation groups in the Panhandle. The program offers an 80% payback with 10% going to local non-profits of all revenues. The trail locations are an attempt to afford a taste of Bass fishing throughout the Panhandle. The base for all tournaments is thirty boats. Should you have any questions or comments, please call Chad Purvis at 850-269-6204. And thanks to Tony Biggot for helping out as weighmaster.
