If you take a close look at the Lake Waveland tourney permit schedule I posted a couple weeks back, you'll notice that there's a new bass circuit headed there this year. Director Wil Newlin will be hosting an Anglers Dream lake Waveland Divisional tournament series this year, and the payouts will be pretty stout for a local open event. The Waveland Divisional tournament series will begin at the end of March, and end in late June. There will be 6 divisional tournaments held during this time.
"Anglers Dream is excited to conduct a divisional tournament series on one of Indiana's premier lakes", said Newlin. "This tournament series will have one of the largest payouts in the state, and no doubt will have some of the best area anglers competing for the large purse". Based on obtaining the 25 boat limit enforced by the Waveland Park Board, first place at each event will pay back $1,000 to the winners, and $500 to the 2nd place team. From there, 3rd - 6th will pay back $400, $350, $275 and $150 respectively.
Pre-registration has already opened, and entries will be closed when 25 pre-registered teams are obtained, so don't wait too long to enter. Additionally, those locking in their positions by paying in full (by March 15) for the first event will have priority entry into subsequent events. A waiting list will also be kept in case of open slots in any event. Additionally, teams who meet qualifying requirements (fishing 5 of the 6 events) will also have a chance to win the top prize money of $10,000.00 at the Anglers Dream Tournament of Champions, being held at Lake St. Clair (payback based on 12 boat per qualifying event & 100 entries).
A couple other nice features of this new circuit will include a limited bag weigh-in to help protect and ensure good survival of the released fish, as well as season points being based on 5 events, meaning you can miss any one event for whatever reason and not be penalized in the overall standings.
Additional information, including dates, entry forms, rules and director contact information is available via the downloads below, or can be obtained at the Anglers Dream website. Feel free to contact Wil by phone or e-mail for more specifics, and be sure to lock in early on the first event (~10 entries already paid in).
