If you love catfishing as much as we do and enjoy the thrill of competition, then our catfish tournament is for you! Our annual Sling N' Baits community catfish tournament is a great way for beginner's and experienced anglers to take your catfishing skills to a new level. Our catfish tournaments will provide plenty entertainment and friendly competition for all. We encourage catfish anglers of all ages and skills levels to participate in our catfish tournaments. Our catfish tournaments are bank fishing only, so anglers are only allowed to fish from the shorelines of the lake. Bank fishing has never been more underrated, so we're here to show everyone how fun it truly is! Do you think you have what it takes to a Bank Master? Join us and prove you can rule the shore!
