Moss Lake will once again be the site for the second annual David Baptist Church benefit tournament. This event is hosted by A-1 Welding and will be held March 19 with a 7am blast-off and a 3:30 weigh-in. Entry fee for this event is $60 in advance or $70 the morning of the event. There will be a 5 fish limit with all measuring at least 14 inches. Robert Fitch is the man behind the tournament and did a good job last year, I expect that to be even greater this year. Robert wanted me to express his thanks to all anglers and sponsors from last year.
Entry fees can be found at the Lake office and for more info you can contact Robert at 704-750-4065.
