The Texas Team Trail (TXTT) presented by Cabela’s will host its first regular-season event of the 2017 tournament season on Saturday, Jan. 28, at Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Known by tournament fishermen as “Big Sam,” the sprawling Angelina River impoundment has hosted the opener each year, typically with impressive results.
Registration for the event is already underway – anglers can secure an opportunity to pre-fish Friday, Jan. 27, by completing their registration online or via phone prior to midnight on Thursday, Jan. 26. Additionally, all anglers that pre-register online at www.texasteamtrail.com will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Cabela’s gift card.
The Sam Rayburn event is the first regular-season event of four 2017 qualifying events that guarantee a fully rigged, 18-foot boat, motor, trailer package as first-place prize. The winning anglers at Sam Rayburn will walk away with a brand-new Stratos 189VLO powered by a 150HP Evinrude, valued at $32,395.
In addition to the payout, the event offers anglers an unprecedented opportunity in terms of sponsor bonuses and television coverage. The budget-friendly $250 entry fee, plus multiple contingency programs and a guaranteed, over-100 percent payback at every event provides tremendous value to the weekend angler.
On-site registration is set for Friday, Jan. 27, from 3-6 p.m. at Umphrey Pavilion (5438 RR 255 West, Sam Rayburn, TX 75951). At least one team member must attend, as boat numbers will be assigned during this time. The tournament will launch Saturday, Jan. 28, at safe light from Umphrey Pavilion and weigh-in will begin at the same location at 3 p.m.
