Website: www.fishermanscovelodge.com \nRegistration:  \nFirst registered\, first reserved!  If you have been to a Blast & Cast event in the past\, please make every effort to bring someone new to the event.  Youth anglers (7 yrs+) are welcome and must attend with a parent or guardian\, limit one youth angler per parent/guardian. \nFishing: \nThis will be an exciting weekend of fishing and fellowship! We’ll spend our days fishing for crappie\, white bass\, hybrid stripers\, largemouth bass\, and catfish in assigned boats. After our evening meals\, we will hear words of encouragement and challenge from a keynote speaker. \nCheck-in for the event is on Friday (9/5/25) at 3:00 pm. Once everyone is checked in\, we will begin our briefings\, meet your boat captains\, and then depart for afternoon fishing. Friday evening will consist of dinner followed by our first devotional. Saturday morning will begin with breakfast\, short devotion\, and then depart for fishing. Lunchtime will be at each group’s discretion and usually depends on how the fishing goes. Afternoon fishing is also at the discretion of each group…either way\, you will be able to fish as much as you want. Saturday evening will be filled with hanging out under the lodge pavilion\, corn hole\, washers\, etc. After dinner\, we will close with a devotion. Sunday morning will begin with breakfast\, fish until around lunchtime\, and then depart for home. \nWe will have volunteers present along with their boats. Our volunteer boat owners are paying their way and are not professionals – nor are they licensed guides. No tips are allowed\, but gas in the tank and your share of other expenses is expected. Please bring cash to assist with boat gas\, ice\, and bait. Each volunteer boat owner will be assigned a fishing party each day. While we keep fathers and sons together\, usually you will be fishing with people you don’t know. This is done purposefully so please don’t be surprised. Additionally\, we will try to pair volunteer boat owners with parties suitable to their preferred method of fishing\, but please remember to be flexible as this won’t always be possible. \nVolunteer boat owners will be introduced to their parties in our meetings. Please see your volunteer boat owner for assistance and/or special needs regarding fishing. Adults should be prepared to wade if physically able. Bring wading shoes and any other gear that you have. If you have extra gear that others could borrow\, please throw it in. \nMeals:  \nDinner will be provided for both Friday and Saturday night meals. On Saturday and Sunday mornings we will serve breakfast. A limited supply of drinks and snacks will be available to take on the fishing trips but plan to bring your favorite soft drinks. Leftovers will be available for lunches\, but most parties will eat out based on their fishing location and schedule. \nRules:  \n\nPerfect people are not allowed. Come as you are\, no pretending.\nNo drunkenness. Alcohol in moderation is allowed\, but not on the boats\, please.\nPlease help keep the environment kid-friendly.\nHave a good time.\n\nWhat to bring:  \n\nValid Texas freshwater fishing license. \nEveryone should bring personal fishing gear and tackle as it is not expected of volunteer boat owners to lend out their gear or tackle.

Some boats\, particularly those with kids\, may pursue catfish. Each fisherman should bring their own rod. It’s recommended to put fresh line on reels if you haven’t done so in the last few months. Best artificial lures for hybrids and white bass are jigging spoons and swim jigs. Best artificial lures for largemouth bass are spinnerbaits\, crankbaits\, and soft plastics. For catfish\, cut bait\, shrimp\, and stink baits can be used but will require terminal tackle such as barrel weights\, swivels\, and circle hooks. There are only a couple choices for bait and tackle around the lake\, please shop in advance as much as possible. \nContact info: \nEvent Chairmen:  Andrew Green | 817-395-2233 | andrew@professionalkayakanglers.com \nIf you need information before the event please contact us via e-mail.
