Post by Zeitgeist »

For the past 5 weeks, Captain Steve Hoyland Jr. has been running a tourney out of Topwater Grill in San Leon. I am posting this here as starting May 23rd, it is now open to kayakers. $50 buy in, best three trout with a side red pot for $20 buy in. Full pay out.

This is a fun tourney, Steve's band Double Tap will be playing under the palapa starting at 6PM. Come on out even if you can't fish the tourney. When the band plays it usually draws a good crowd. Hope to see you there!
