Nov. 24, 2012 - "Turkey Trot" Total Weight Tournament
Holidays, family events, and other outdoor activities make it tough for an angler to participate in a league that mandates attendance at every event. Consequently, the 2012 J-Town Fall 40's Tournament Series will feature seven separate tournaments. Anglers may fish in all events or pick and choose which events he/she would like to attend.
Because this is a fall event and because fishing can be "peggy" at Bicentennial Park, tournaments will vary in regard to how winners are determined.

Peg choice for each session will be conducted at Bicentennial Park (South) in Joliet, Illinois. The peg draw will be EXACTLY one half (1/2) hour before the start of fishing. Peg draw is at 6:30 AM. Fishing begins at 7:00 AM . Fishing ends at 4:30 PM. Pegs/flags shall be about 10-20 yards apart and will be staked out by the league official(s) and numbered PRIOR TO CHOOSING PEGS.
For 2012, North Bicentennial Park and South Bicentennial Park will be pegged to accommodate as many as 16 anglers (eight on each side of the park), plus four additional pegs have been established on the east side of the river.
Each tournament will feature a walk-off random peg draw. At all sessions at 6:30 a.m., anglers, who are present and who have paid their $20 entry, will be part of a drawing to determine peg choice. The angler drawing ship #1 will have first choice of pegs. The angler drawing chip #2 will have second choice. This process will continue until all who are physically present have drawn chips and pegs are chosen. Anglers arriving after 6:30 a.m. will draw to determine choice of whatever pegs remain. There are no call-in peg choices. "You snooze, you lose."
