Collegiate Bass Fishing 101: ACA January Cliff Notes
It's officially 2012 and fishing is getting underway throughout the south. With less than sixty days until our first event, we figured it was time to get you "hooked up" with all things college fishing.
Cabela's Collegiate Big Bass Bash Visits Allen, Texas
They tend to say everything is bigger in Texas, so what better place to come for a Big Bass event. The red carpet is going to be laid out for the anglers on this one. Each angler that enters the event will receive a $25 gift card to the local Cabela's in Allen, TX, which is hosting registration Thursday, March 22. Top fishing pros, including Clark Wendlandt, host of Fishing Texas, will be on hand from 3-7 pm to visit with students and talk about Big Bass Tactics with the public.
Anglers will have the opportunity to rake in some serious prizes, with a total of 43 winners in two days. Up for grabs will be over $20,000 in prizes, including $5,000 worth of Cabela's gift cards! More...

Partnership Reminders:
TroKar offering free gear at the 2012 Classic - As a proud sponsor of the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Champion Series, Lazer TroKar invites anglers to stop by their booth #330 during the BassMaster Classic Expo. All anglers wearing their school club fishing jerseys will receive a FREE TroKar Mini Elite Kit and a TroKar cap. The 2012 Expo will be held February 24 - 26, 2012 at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, LA.
Weigh-to-Win Again in 2012 - It's simple, it's affordable, it calms concerns about mechanical breakdowns, and it pays tournament cash bonuses. For those four reasons alone, the hundreds of anglers that signed up for BoatUS Angler and "Weigh-to-Win" in its inaugural 2011 season, can look forward to renewing and participating again this year. This includes a $1,000 bonus in the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship, as well as a $250 bonus in the Collegiate Bass Fishing Open.
The Bass University is coming to Rosemont, IL January 28-29, and don't forget, "Collegiate Anglers Can Learn More For Less"
