Over 100% payback plus significant boat and engine contingency available
Competitive walleye anglers will converge at Green Bay, Wisconsin, July 24-25 for the final regular-season event of the 2015 Cabela’s National Walleye Tour. The tournament circuit features a pro-am style format and guarantees over 100% payback.
The Green Bay event begins Thursday, July 23, with tournament registration from 2-4 p.m. at Cabela’s Retail Store (1499 Lombardi Ave., Ashwaubenon, WI 54304) with a mandatory pre-tournament meeting set to start at 5:00 p.m. Pro and co-angler pairings will be announced at the pre-tournament meeting. Anglers will launch Friday and Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. from the Green Bay Metro Boat Launch (102 Bay Beach Rd., Green Bay, WI 54301) and return to the launch for weigh-ins at 3 p.m.
The National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) will also host a “Future Angler” program for children after Saturday’s weigh-in, at approximately 5:30 p.m., featuring an educational seminar and training for youth from top-notch NPAA members. The youth-orientated event will include a free rod/reel combo or “Future Pro” t-shirt for the first 100 children who attend the educational program.
Anglers who are participating in any of the numerous contingency prize programs are encouraged to submit all pertinent information before the event to remain eligible for any potential bonus money. To check status, anglers are encouraged to call 612-424-0708 prior to the event.
