Bluegill Family Fishing Tournament will take place Saturday,
Sept. 24.
Numerous prize packages will be awarded, including an X-Box 360
with game, fishing equipment and gift cards from local
businesses.
The tournament awards prizes for the heaviest stringers of
sunfish, but the event is really about adults and children
having fun fishing together.
Teams must consist of one adult 18 years of age or older and one
child under 18 years of age. Each team can weigh in a maximum of
four fish.
Multiple teams can fish from the same boat, making it possible
for both parents to partner with different children and still
fish as a family.
Team members are not required to be related.
Teams may choose to fish either on Lake Athens, which is
adjacent to TFFC, or in TFFC’s ponds and streams, some of which
have been stocked with bluegills.
Anglers who plan to fish on Lake Athens are advised to check
lake and boat ramp conditions before going to be sure water
levels will permit launching. Please contact the city of Athens
at (903) 675-5131.
All species of sunfish or bream (except largemouth bass) are
allowed; for information on identifying them, please visit
www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwater/water/aquaticspecies/inland.phtml.
Pre-registration is required. Mailed registration must be
received by Wednesday, Sept. 21.
