This is a Black Bass series. Only black bass species will be accepted.

Pre Fishing will be allowed two days prior to each tournament stop.

The use of live bait and/or cut bait is strictly prohibited. The tournament allows artificial lures only.

Contestants can opt into a live Facebook chat to submit and cull photos in real time during competition.

There will be no text communication on the open chat, only photos of fish on troughs will be allowed.
Anglers are responsible for the photos they submit, if an angler submits a photo of a fish smaller than any previous fish, we will accept that photo and cull out the next largest fish.

Anglers are responsible for the function of their photo equipment (Cellular phones, Digital Cameras etc.…) If an anglers camera or phone malfunctions mid competition, they are automatically checked in as finished and can not submit any more photos. No exceptions will be made.

If an angler chooses not to participate in the live feed photo chat, he or she may utilize a pre-inspected digital camera or any other approved for of photographic equipment.




Discrepancies and questionable validity with overall inches or photos submitted will be given one “benefit of the doubt” acceptance.  All infractions by the same angler thereafter will be subject to; 2nd infraction – Season suspension.  3rd Infraction – Permanent DQ and barring from all DKBS events.

Big Fish, DKBS AOY, Best Submitted Lifestyle Photo, and runner up prize ceremony will be held at Tower Park Marina on August 17th.

When do we have to have fees submitted by?

A few question for those in charge of this series:

Is this a cash payout tourney or prizes or both? 

Is entry still being capped at a specific number of anglers? 

What criteria are being used to decide who is in and who isn't? 

Is pre fishing allowed? 

Is there an off limits time period? 

Is this artificial lures only? 

Black bass species only? 

Is there a standardized measuring device ie Hawg Troughs? 

Is there a minimum size limit?

Why only 50 allowed, is that what the permits allow?

Why only 50 allowed, is that what the permits allow?

Yes unfortunately.

Oh yea and I'm in. Who do I make check to?

Why only 50 allowed, is that what the permits allow?

Nixster, with the nature of our format and the mass amounts of boat tournaments on the delta during the summer, we are only able to secure a 50 spot tournament field. That, however, will benefit all of the anglers involved in the inaugural season as there will be a tighter knit group of competitors and a smaller field of competition. We plan on having a larger field for the subsequent seasons.

Gotta love the delta series.  Find, locate and catch'em.  Can't wait! 

NO BAIT!!!!!  Thank you, fly fisherman don't use bait so this even's out the playing field a bit.

Thanks for the update ! I will try to make it for this series.

Absolutely stoked to be a part of this!!!

Any clue when we will find out whether this weekends event is a go or not?

How do we know who is being invited to this event and when will we find out if we are being invited?

In the first post it says to send an email to: DKBSinfo@gmail.com for consideration.  I received a very timely reply when I sent in my request for participation.

I sent am email and also got a rapid response. Just wanted to find out more info.

I believe info is being posted here as it comes in.  Facebook mirrors the info here in this post.  Registration is supposed to open today so I've been expecting an email about when, where, and how to pay the entry fee.  I hope this weekends event is still a go!  Otherwise, it's going to be a short "series" with only three events.  Either way it'll be fun.

I'm also hoping that there will be some event t-shirts before the season is over.  Collecting the tees is almost as much fun as fishing the events.
