Galveston
Bay Trout Series was founded to accommodate the growing popularity of trout fishing
along the Texas Gulf Coast. Recognizing the need for an affordable
trout tournament with large payouts, Galveston Bay Trout Series is offering a
twenty week tournament series with an end of year progressive pot with places first (1st) - fifth (5th). A guaranteed weekly payout of 60% - 70% of all entry fees back to the winners
of the event makes Galveston Bay Trout Series one of the best paying tournaments
in the upper Galveston Bay system. Another 10% - 20% of the
entry fees go directly into the end of year progressive championship pot.
