Shootout Series Bass Tour presents CHEO Charity Tournament

Watch out Renegade Bass, here comes the Shootout Series Bass Tour!

 

CHEO Charity Bass Tournament and Kids Derby

The Shootout Series Bass Tour is proud to announce their season opening event will be held at Hardy Park, in Brockville on June 21st and 22nd.

Come watch fishing TV legends, Bob and Darren Izumi from the Real Fishing Show, and Reno Viola from In-Depth Radio and former host of the Fish’n Canada Show. Even better, you can take your shot at beating these legends and many more of Canada’s best anglers. For only $160 you can win thousands! Even better than winning money, you have a chance to brag to your friends that you beat Bob Izumi!

Headlining this event, will be a children’s charity fishing derby on Saturday from 10am to 1pm in support of the CHEO foundation. Totally free to all the little anglers, prizes will be awarded to each and every one of them and there will be a BBQ so we can give our little anglers lunch. The BBQ will continue until 6pm for adults to purchase and support CHEO.

If you would like more information on fishing the Bass event, please visit www.shootoutseries.ca for more details. If you wish to fish the kid’s event, just show up anytime from 10-1. Please bring your own rods, tackle and bait can be provided.

The Shootout Series would like to thank the City of Brockville, Brockville tourism office, and all our anglers and sponsors for assisting in making this event possible.

Thanks to Cory Banford for the heads-up on this terrific upcoming event…and stay tuned for more news this summer on the Shootout Series Bass Tour!

Bass enthusiasts will be out in hoards this weekend for the coveted bass opener.

And if you don’t think there’s anything special about Micropterus – be they salmoides or dolomieu – just ask one of the local bass fishing organizations. 

Ottawa is slowly becoming a largemouth & smallmouth bass fishing Mecca, thanks to groups like Renegade Bass, Bass Anglers of Ottawa and Petawawa Bassmasters.

Hey, if Bob Izumi and his son are willing to drive all the way from Oakville to fish bass up here, there must be something to it.

Speaking of fishing, where is your favourite bass water? Without giving away all your tricks, I invite all the bass nuts out there to tell us where you like to catch old bucket mouth!

As a converted bass guy myself (the 7-pound behemoth I landed last fall helped) I am slowly being ‘lured’ away from trout and muskie, and towards the elusive bass.

Drop me a line with your bass plans or send me  tip, I’m not picky!
