For the 2021 Tournament, the following modifications have been made to address the COVID related concerns for the anglers and the community:
- The date was moved into April to give more time for the vaccine to get distributed and for better weather for outside activities.
- We are limiting the number of people at the weigh in area to provide for better distancing.
- We are moving the public elements to a larger area by the Deep Water Dock, so we can provide for better social distancing. The Beer Garden, Awards Ceremony and Food Vendors will be adjusted or eliminated to meet with the current State and Local COVID Guidlines.
- Tournament Registrations and Side Tournaments can now be done online.
- Face coverings are requested when at the tournament area.
