We are announcing that our 2nd annual Gulf Coast Sweetwater Classic scheduled for September 17-18 has been cancelled. Our next Classic will be held March 11-12, 2022. This was not an easy decision, but one we felt obligated to do in light of the current spike in Covid cases, and with mask mandates and other measures being implemented.
The good news is that with the rapid surge in vaccinations PLUS high number of immune recoveries, medical experts believe we may be close to herd immunity by Spring. While Covid will always be around, we look forward to a return to “normal”.
The first Classic was held in mid-March and it was our intention to continue with this date. The Covid spike in January forced us to a September date.
Spring gives more opportunities for trophy bass. The format in March will remain the same…Okhissa is in the mix. In addition, there’s the Big Crappie category.
We also will have fly tying, fly casting, and we are working on having a Special Guest!! We’ have BBQ sandwiches on Saturday for folks to enjoy after the tournament.
Percy Quin has stated they will be very happy to switch your cabin dates if you have already made reservations. We thank them for their assistance!!!
If you registered for the tournament on iAngler, your registration is still good. You can cancel if necessary.
If you have any questions, we welcome your feedback and suggestions. This is YOUR event…to celebrate warmwater fly fishing on the northern Gulf Coast…to have fun fishing and sharing fish stories, meet new friends, and help our Council with its educational programs.
