Unless "Come hail or highwater," the Sunrise Beach Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary will host their annual Lake LBJ Bass Tournament and Perch Jerk to benefit the Sunrise Beach VFD October 19 at McNair Park.
The VFD worked tirelessly and incurred higher operating expenses during the busy wildfire season last summer. This was followed by the Auxiliary's bass tournament fundraiser being canceled just three days before scheduled. Heavy rainfall caused a flood that covered large areas of the lake with dangerous debris, and the 2900 bridge collapsed. The flood prompted several rescues by local and state authorities. Many of the tournament sponsors and contenders donated funds inspite of it's cancellation which is great news for angler's who are fishing this year!
Larger cash payouts will be awarded to the top 3 tournament winners and an additional cash prize will be awarded to the lucky entrant who catches the biggest bass.
The Auxiliary has teamed with Texas Association of Bass Clubs (TABC) to provide the official weigh-in on tournament day. There will also be a free Perch Jerk for kids between 10a-1p with cool prizes.
Join the fun and plan to fish for a good cause at the Lake LBJ Bass Tournament benefiting the Sunrise Beach Volunteer Fire Department sponsored by Trammell and Associates Realtors on October 19 from 6a to 3p. Online registration and tournament rules are available at
