The CopperState Tackle Limited Team Open at Orange Lake, originally scheduled for May 9, has been rescheduled to May 30. The change comes as a result of delays in the opening of Heagy-Burry Park, which will not be ready in time for the event. Additionally, low water levels currently prevent the use of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings boat ramp.
While the new Heagy-Burry ramp is expected to open in early May, the exact timeline remains uncertain. After coordinating with Marion County officials, it was determined that postponing to a later date provides the most reliable option for ensuring a successful tournament. Though water levels will still be low, the lake is expected to be accessible.
Registration for the CopperState Tackle Limited Team Open remains open and is limited to the first 60 teams. The registration deadline is Tuesday, May 26; entries will not be accepted after this date, regardless of field size.
A full field of 60 teams will generate a $30,000 payout, with $10,000 awarded to the first-place team. The top 15 teams will earn an invitation to the CopperState Tackle Limited Team Open Championship at Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, where competitors will fish for a guaranteed $20,000 first-place prize.
