Mt. Carmel, Ill.— Wabash Valley College's Bass Team has rescheduled the high school bass fishing invitational at East Fork Lake in Olney, Illinois, originally planned for Saturday, March 21st to now take place on Saturday, June 20th.

Teams that were registered for the originally scheduled date will be contacted to determine if they are still planning to fish on June 20. Once all teams have been confirmed, we will make an announcement as to how many more openings we have available. The tournament is limited to 30 boats. Once we have determined the number of teams coming, we will likely re-open registration to fill the field as there will likely be teams that cannot come that date.

This is a two-angler team tournament. The cost is $30 per team; additionally, East Fork Lake requires an Olney boat sticker, which can be purchased on a daily or annual basis.

The tournament will run from 5:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. with team check-in running from 4:30 a.m. until 5:15 a.m. A pre-tournament meeting will take place at 5:15 a.m. Boat take off will be determined by a draw either at check-in or the evening prior if the tournament field is full. The tournament is restricted to 6 hour length per the City of Olney for summer bass tournaments.

There is a five fish limit per team, with a 12" minimum length per fish. Awards will be given to the top three teams and to the individual with the biggest bass. The top finishing senior will be awarded a scholarship to fish on the 2020–2021 bass team at Wabash Valley College.

Those teams originally registered can send an e-mail to WVC Bass Coach Todd Gill at gillt@iecc.edu or by phone at 618-263-8633 to confirm their registration or to removed from the tournament. Once it has been determined how many NEW teams we can accept, a registration link will be available at https://wvcwarriorathletics.com/sports/fishing/index.
