Mel Cotton’s 5th Annual Bass Tube’n Tournament

Where: Lexington Reservoir County Park
17770 Alma Bridge Rd.
Los Gatos, Ca. 95032
Time: 8am – 2pm (set-up at 7am)
Why: Mel Cotton’s presents this event to promote bass fishing and our local
Bass fisheries. We want to educate the public about fishing. We want more people in Santa Clara County to consider fishing for recreation. We also want to promote the use of float tubes for fishing. Unlike regular boats, they are easily portable, do not require a launch ramp, and are not harmful to the environment in any way.
Cost: Only a $40 entry fee
Optional $5 buy-in for big fish
Sign-ups
& Rules: Mel Cotton’s Sporting Goods
Fishing Department
1266 W. San Carlos St. (at Race)
San Jose, CA 95126

Details: This unique tournament is open to all ages. Only self-powered boats will be allowed (float tube, canoe, kayak, etc.) so you don't need a fancy bass boat to compete. All anglers must have a live well for storing live fish. Some loaners are available.
We have over $1,500 in prizes including rods, reels, float tubes, gift certificates, etc. (1st thru 5th place). There will also be an optional big fish buy-in of $5. All participants must sign-up and pay at or before the mandatory info session at Mel Cotton’s (Monday April 30th). No day-of-event walk-ons will be allowed. We are expecting 40 to 50 competitors.
All participants will meet at 7:30am. In the reservoir parking lot, near the shore, where a 10’x10’ canopy will be set-up for check-ins and weigh-ins. At 8am. The participants will launch and begin fishing. Participants are allowed to keep 4 fish in their live well and cull as needed. Prizes will be awarded to the best anglers immediately following the weigh-in at 2pm. All attempts will be made to release all fish unharmed at the end of the event.
