Bassmaster series returns to Lake Murray, with a series of non-fishy public events
The Bassmaster series is returning to Lake Murray next week.
The major-league pro-fishing tournament is slated to run on the lake from May 7 to May 10, and the series is inviting the public to participate.
Spectators can watch the participants launch from the docks at Dreher Island State Park, starting daily at 6:30 a.m. The fishermen then return for weigh-ins of the day’s catch at 3 p.m.
The tournament will run alongside a free community expo on Saturday and Sunday, featuring live music, local vendors, food trucks, and activities, according to a news release from the Capital City/Lake Murray Country Regional Tourism Board.
The expo will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 9, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 10.
Musical performances at the expo will be headlined by Jackson Truluck on Saturday and Rut Spence on Sunday.
Saturday will also feature the Run to the Weigh-In 5K, beginning at 10 a.m. at Dreher Island. The run will raise money for Tedy’s Team, an organization dedicated to stroke research and education.
