[BAnondson]

Wanted to let everyone know that the Shasta Bass Kayak Classic which started as a two-day bass tournament on Lake Shasta in support of Heroes On The Water was picked up by Hobie Fishing for a 2017 Worlds Qualifier March 25-26.

First prize will be an invite to the Worlds plus a certain amount of payout for travel/expenses.

Second prize will be a 2017 Hobie Outback

There will be a payout also, the more participants the more people will walk away with at least their entry fee back.

At minimum $30 from each registration will go to Heroes On The Water, (Shasta CA Chapter is hosting) this again depends on participants.

$100 registration fee. As of now it will move to $125 on March 1 or at the Captains Meeting - $125 CASH only.

Any launch fees are responsibility of participant.

Three places to visit for more info.

To answer two most asked questions:

1. Can we use any other kayak besides Hobie - YES - kayaks, SUP's and canoes are welcome, however if you bring something that looks unseaworthy we will have to talk about it. No motors, human powered only, no trolling, one person per watercraft, can't share.

2. Will there be multiple launch sites - most likely, depends on numbers, at this point we are thinking 3 or 4. Bridge Bay Resort is where Check-in and awards ceremony will be help. Captains Meeting at Headwaters Adventure in Redding on Friday the 24th. Only 40 rooms at the resort, they are filling quick, they have houseboats also. Ask for tournament rates.

Any questions post here, on FB or email tournament@headwatersadventure.com

All rules and payout are subject to change although at this late date only likely change will have to do with the payout. We are capping at 150 registrations.

We have more sponsors coming on, be announcements soon, there will be raffle but you don't have to buy tickets, each particpant will receive a yet to be determined number of tickets.

One last comment, for this tournament all help will be volunteer, we will cover expenses, do a payout and raise as much as we can for HOW!
