INEZ — The annual Hutch Auto Group High School and Youth Fishing Tournament returns to Paintsville Lake this year.

Sponsored by the Martin County Cardinals Fishing Team, the tournament is from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 9. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places in both high school and youth.

The cost is $50 per boat, and all teams preregistered by March 25 will receive a T-shirt. At-ramp registration will close at 6:30 a.m. the day of the tournament.

Cardinals coach Brent Haney and his team look forward to the event that typically draws 25-50 boats.

“A time-honored tradition is our high school and youth fishing tournament sponsored by Hutch Auto Group,” Haney said. “We are hoping for a big turnout for this tournament.”
