When it comes to the upcoming 2025 Fishin' For Kids Despino's Tire Bass Tournament  I can only see wins in every direction I look.

• It's a day on the lake fishing. (It's not like it's back breaking work)
• It's on Toledo Bend (one of the finest fisheries in the whole country)
• Proceeds will go to Children's Miracle Network (That's always a win when kids are involved)
• The winning team will receive a guaranteed $20,000 (A great payday for anyone)

See what I mean?  Only "wins" for all those who participate!

From 2016 through 2024, the Despino's Tire Fishin' For Kids Bass Tournament has raised over $250,0000 for our local Children's Miracle Networks hospitals.  Definitely one for the "win column."

How Much Is Entry Fee And What's The Incentive To Register Now?

Entry fee is $260 per team and that includes entry into the Big Bass pot.  Registrations are being taken NOW online HERE.

The incentive to register early is that boat numbers will be issued in the order teams are registered and boats numbered 1-100 won't have to be in check-in line until 4:00 pm at Cypress Bend.

This will give these boats an extra thirty minutes of travel time as boats numbered 101+ must be checked in by 3:30 pm at Cypress Bend.

There will be on-site registration at Cypress Bend on Friday, March 7 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm and again Saturday, March 8 beginning at 5:00 am.

For The Second Year, No Forward Facing Sonar Allowed During Competition!
