The Five
Lakes Tounament Trail members are primarily fisherman from
the Upstate of South Carolina. We fish 5 lakes twice a year: Greenwood,
Russell, Clarks Hill, Murray and Hartwell. At the end of the season,
we hold an awards banquet where we crown our points champion. We also
award prize money to the top twenty in club points. The purse for
the 2003 points fund was $8,500.
In 2004
and 2005 we held a member only Club Championship
tournament with the weigh in being held at the Greenwood Civic
Center. The first place award for this tournament was $5000.00 and
prize money awarded to the top ten finishers.
The
club also volunteers to help several charity tournaments each year. For the past
3 years, the club managed the weigh-in for the John De La
Howe school tournament and the Home Builders Association tournament. In
2002 & 2003, the club also helped with the Bowers-Rogers Home for Abused Children
tournament and the Outdoor Challenge fishing tournament
held by the Laurens Baptist Association. This year the club has added the Place
for Us Ministries and Fuji Film bass tournaments
to the list of charity tournaments involved with.
