Tournament Drector, Gary Waingrow and Co-Tournament Director Bob Newland, started this trail in 2002, with the help and
sponsorship of Bass Pro, and the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division. These tournaments are open to all the kids
in the community and are orientated towards education of the sport in a fun family atmosphere.
The trail consists of eight tournaments a year. Six tournaments are qualifying events, one tournament as a wildcard.
The top-qualifying anglers will then compete in the kid’s classic in December.
Participants are divided into two divisions, small fry for ages up to 10 years old, and juniors for ages 11 thru 16.
At the end of every tournament, we hold a fishing clinic. Each clinic is hosted by a selected local pro bass tournament angler .Trophies
and prizes are awarded.
In December at the classic the grand prizes are awarded in an honorary ceremony. We are proud to award each year a Pond
Prowler with trolling motor and battery, from Bass Pro Shops.
This year has been our best so far. We have had an average of 40 - 60 kids completing in all qualifying tournaments.
We expect this number to continue to grow.
In 2008 Palm Beach County and Savannah Kids Bass Trail came on board.
If you would like to start a kids trail in your area or interested in become a sponsor, please contact our founder and
tournament director, Gary Waingrow.
