Entry Forms for the 2017 Bay Bass Tournament

Welcome to the San Diego Anglers Bay Bass Tournament page. This will be our 22st year of hosting this event and we hope to do it for 20 more!!

We want to start off by thanking Rob Butler from Boat U.S.- Vessel Assist for being the Title Sponsor again this year. Through his generosity we are able to keep this tournament a high caliber event!

The tournament draws anglers from all over the southwest U.S. to compete for about $10,000 in cash and prizes. We host 150 two-man teams and kayaks to go out and catch the 3 largest bass (Sand , Bay and Calico bass) and weigh them in. The largest sack this year will walk away with $1500 in cash (Sponsored by Fisherman’s landing tackle Shop) and if they also got in the optional jackpot, they might walk away with between $3500 and $4000 this year. If you don’t catch the largest sack, don’t worry because we pay down 25 places! And back again this year is a separate kayak division. Ron Lane and Fast Lane Kayaks along with Hobie Kayaks have sponsored this years Kayak division. The largest 3 fish sack of bass will walk away with $500. And if you don’t catch the largest sack, again don’t worry as this division will pay down 5 places!

When the fishing is all done, everyone is invited to our signature BBQ. Hamburgers, hot dogs and fresh fish with all the fixings will be ready for everyone with beer, sodas and water to wash it all down. When we are all full and happy, we give away the tournament cash prizes and then end the day with a giant raffle, thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors.

But we are not through!! We invite the top 25 teams back in March or April and do it all again! Different this year for top 25 is that instead of a “winner-take-all” event for the $1500 top prize, we will split the cash and pay down 3 places. $1000, $500 and $250.

If this all sounds like fun, then click on the link at the top of this page, download the entry form and mail it in with your entry fee. Hope to see you all there!!!!

We can’t sign off without THANKING ALL of our sponsors. Without there generosity, this event would not happen!
