New bass fishing tournament




Looking for some way you can compete in bass tournament fishing, but you don’t have a boat, or even if you do own a boat, the expense of tournament fishing is a little more than you can afford. There is a group called BassGrabbers.

The BassGrabbers Tournament Trail was developed by current Head Tournament Director and Western Bank Fishing Trail Director, Russ Prater. Prater was just fresh into bass fishing and already had a desire to compete. He soon found out that tournaments were expensive and was a bit discouraged. He remembered the quality family time his grandfather and he shared fishing together. He knew from that moment to start his own tournament trail geared for fishermen who could not afford big time tournaments, and for people looking to connect with their children in the outdoors. Soon his dream turned into something special. The Trail has a special blend of inexperienced fishermen and very competitive fisherman.

The BassGrabbers Bank Fishing Individual Trail is a four hour event held twice a month through
the months of Feb-Oct. Each region holds one event per month. There is a western region where events are held in the Fort Worth area and vicinity west of State Highway 360. The eastern region represents Dallas and vicinity east of State Highway 360. Tournaments are won on the total length within a five bass limit. Check out www.bassgrabberstrail.com for a complete list of where and when their tournaments are held.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water stained; 72 degrees; 3.29 feet below pool. Bass are in 8 feet or less with some in the lily pads on topwater frogs, or with Carolina rigs and jigs on harder bottoms and structures off points and humps. Crappie are transitioning to brush piles using minnows and jigs. Catfish are in deeper water flats and creek channels on cut bait. White bass are transitioning to points and down the river with some schooling activity hitting jigging spoons and crankbaits. Fishing patterns are still behind what is typical for this time of year. Navigate with caution to avoid sandbars and stumps. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. Shad spawn is in full swing. Bass are good keying on hard clay points, grass edges and flooded timber with swim jigs, chatterbaits, topwater spooks or pop-r’s. Offshore bite is 10-20 feet on hard spots and flats, points and creek channel swings using crankbaits, Carolina rigs, shaky heads and dropshots. Crappie have finished spawning in 12-20 feet of water on brush piles and standing timber. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
