BENTON, Ky. – The PAA wants you as a Member Observer during its upcoming tournament at Table Rock Lake, and is ready to give away some cool stuff in a special drawing.
The PAA Tournament Series event is scheduled for June 23-25 on Table Rock Lake, going out of Chateau on the Lake marina. Daily morning launches will take place there along with the first two days’ weigh-ins at 3 p.m., with the final weigh-in set for 4:30 p.m. at Bass Pro Shops at Branson Landing.
Anyone who signs up to be a PAA Member Observer through 5 p.m. on June 15 will receive a free PAA tee-shirt. Everyone likes a tee-shirt, right?
But that’s not all. Everyone who registers during that time period also will be entered into a drawing for a free US Reel 230SX spinning reel and a cap autographed by legendary pro Kevin VanDam of Michigan.
The US Reel 230SX features lightweight carbon fiber components, an SDS drag system, four ABEC I stainless steel bal bearings, and a wide-spool design for long, smooth and accurate casts.
VanDam has 20 career wins in his Bassmaster career, including four Bassmaster Classic championships, and more than $5.1 million in winnings.
This special promotion ends at 5 p.m. CT on Wednesday, June 15.
Current PAA members can ride with the pros up to two days during the tournament for just $50. Thursday and Friday positions still are available for those interested. Observers do not fish during the tournament but will have a front-row seat to all the action each day from takeoff to weigh-in.
If you’re not already a PAA member, the Observer fee and a $50 annual General Membership fee are required. Membership includes a membership card, PAA cap, decals, the PAA PayDay tournament cash bonus program of more than 75 tournament trails and access to the PAA Affinity Program that offers discounted tackle, boating and vehicle accessories and hotel rates from more than 50 partners.
Anyone interested in being a PAA Member Observer must be at least 16 years old and a PAA member. To register, visit http://fishpaa.com/wp-content/files/2011_PAA_Official_Packet.pdf or contact the PAA headquarters at (270) 527-2030.
