The 2nd stop for the Northeast Region is Lake Palestine and the fishing has been good from the other tournament results that have been fishing since January. The NE Region has seen a strong start with thirty-one anglers kicking off the season to a stingy Brandy Branch.
Please register or notify the Regional or Tournament Director by text, call, or email by Thursday February 22nd by 11:59 pm CST to register for the Tournament as a Boater or Co-Angler (without a penalty of $10.00). You can also pay your tournament dues online and this will bypass the need to contact the tournament director. We will also have late sign ups and tournament forms collected during the Sunday meeting at the restaurant on Lake Palestine Resort. Also, if we can get 10 committed anglers we can get the grill open for breakfast beginning 5:00 AM CST on Sunday.
Remember, if you fish all six tournaments you will automatically qualify for the Regional Championship as a Co-Angler. Boaters for the championship will be the highest qualifying 50% of the regional championship field (field has to be an even amount of anglers). Best 4 of 6 format to determine boaters for championship. Angler of the Year is determined by fishing all six events.
Official Ramp is Lake Palestine Resort ($5.00 boat ramp fee). Safety Meeting at 6:10 AM. Dues and check in are at Lake Palestine Resort main ramp on Sunday at 5:30 AM CST. Take off at safe light estimated at 6:40 AM CST and weigh in at 3:00 PM CST.
Lake Palestine Resort will offer discounts for rooms at the ramp (call and state that you are from Texas BASS Nation). There are rooms for up to six anglers. Call for reservations as there is another tournament on Saturday 888-398-5253. Also, checks will be mailed out on Monday because the Secretary will not be at the tournament.
