Potomac Teams Open Bass Tournaments
For more than three decades the Potomac Teams Tournament has been a fixture on the Potomac River.  The one-day tournament is an open format and brings together bass anglers across the region for a friendly competition. You choose your own partner and each team consists of one boater and a non-boater.  There is a five-bass limit per team and the heaviest weight determines the tournament champion.  Each tournament is held at Pohick Bay Regional Park, 6501 Pohick Bay Drive, Lorton, VA.  http://www.nvrpa.org/parks/pohickbay/

Bob Pettey is the tournament director and a long-time friend of Potomac Bassmasters.  Even though Potomac Teams Tournament is not a club event, our members often participate and we help promote the tournament via our web site.   

 There are two ways to register for a tournament.
