The excitement is underway at Chester Frost Park on Lake Chickamauga, just north of Chattanooga, TN, as Stage Four of the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour takes center stage. This 280-acre stretch of water along the Tennessee River is the perfect backdrop for one of the sport’s premier events, drawing professional anglers and fishing fans alike for four days of high-stakes competition.

The tournament kicked off at sunrise with strong momentum and an enthusiastic crowd.

“BoardSafe’s docks were loaded with people this morning and made a great impression at one of Tennessee Parks’ signature access areas,” said Dennis Tumlin of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development.

BoardSafe is honored to support this professional-level event by contributing infrastructure that enhances both function and experience. Collaborating with Tennessee State Parks, TWRA, and Harrison County Parks and Recreation, we’re proud to help provide safe, accessible, and durable waterfront access.

Events like the Bass Pro Tour bring more than just great fishing—they generate meaningful economic impact for the region, boosting local businesses, hotels, and restaurants.
