Mission:        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 a progressive championship pot. 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 progresive championship pot.    Press Release(s) & Tournament Announcements:        Welcome to the Galveston Bay Trout Series website. Here you will find important information about the tournament and    tournament related issues. We are excited to launch this project and hope everyone enjoys fishing the Galveston Bay Trout    Series as much as well will.
