Bass fishing anglers looking for a tournament to enter in mid March will have an opportunity to do so while benefitting a good cause.

The Helena High School Band Boosters will be sponsoring a bass fishing tournament on Saturday, March 18 on Lay Lake and a variety of prizes will be given to those entering the tournament.

The cost of the tournament is $50 per boat and a grand prize of $500 will be awarded to the winner. A $100 prize will also be given for the biggest fish. Other prizes could be awarded based on the number of boats that register in the tournament.

Sign in for the tournament will begin at 4 a.m. the morning of March 18. Sign in and weigh in will be at Shelby 400 Tournament from Safe Light at 3 p.m.

All proceeds from the tournament will go to the Helena High School Band and registration will take place the day of the tournament. Cash or card will be accepted.
