The next Boundary Bass Club tournament is scheduled for the North Landing on Nov. 20th, from the Pungo Ferry Ramp. The event after that is scheduled for the Pasquotank. Both of these tournaments are billed with an 8 a.m. launch and a 3 p.m. weigh-in; however, registration for each will close at 7:30 a.m. the morning of the tournament to allow Gabe and Mark time to ensure everyone gets in the water and is ready to go.
