Outdoors notebook: Long Hunter ramp gets more lights | Sports

Members of the Thursday Night Tournament that fish out of Long Hunter State Park have added more lights around the launching ramp and parking area.

Earlier this year, TNT began installing solar-powered lights at the popular public ramp, providing both funding and labor for the project.

The weekly TNT bass-fishing tournament is in its 18th year, making it the longest-running tournament in the area. This year it added a monthly Saturday night event to the schedule.
