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.
