Old School October 2022 is the 3rd annual Catch, Photo, Release (CPR) tournament hosted by Speckled Truth. The Speckled Truth is dedicated to the conservation of trophy Speckled Trout from the East Coast to the Gulf Coast.
Old School October takes place from October 1st - October 31st, 2022. Anglers may compete from anywhere where it is possible to catch Speckled Trout!
All anglers participating in the tournament will use DOA Shrimp. One pack of DOA will be provided with your registration.
The tournament prizes will be issued in a raffle format. For each Speckled Trout submitted greater than 20", the angler will have one raffle entry. Upon conclusion of the tournament, all entries will be compiled and prizes will be drawn at random. The more fish you submit equals more raffle entries & therefore higher odds of winning.
