Registration for the Big Bass Tournament of our 2nd annual Gulf Coast Sweetwater Classic is now online. Part fly fishing festival and part tournament, the Sweetwater Classic will again be held out of scenic Percy Quin State Park near McComb, MS on September 17-18.
The event itself is FREE. Entry to the park for the event is FREE. Participation in the casting games, fly tying activities, seminars, etc. is FREE. The only costs are if you plan to fish the Saturday Big Bass Tournament ($30) and/or the Big Bream Contest on Friday ($5). ONLY if you plan to fish the tournament do you need to register. For the Big Bass Tournament, we are using the iAngler Tournament app/website for both registration and logging catches.
Please note that for 2021, fishing waters have been expanded this year to include Lake Okhissa near Bude. We’ve expanded fishing times to allow anglers to accomodate the 45-minute drive to this trophy bass haven. Both Okhissa and Lake Tangipahoa (the park lake) rank in the top 6 of big bass waters in Mississippi. Equally important, both of these small lakes are kayak friendly and fly fishing friendly.
Please make sure to read all the details and rules. While there are many rules, most are simply common sense or legal fishing requirements. We want everyone to have a fun, but safe, time on the water.
