Free fishing clinic is held in conjunction with the Under Armour College Bass National Championship
The Under Armour College Bass National Championship, the nation's most prestigious collegiate bass fishing tournament, is proud to offer a community-focused initiative.
Anglers of Tomorrow presented by Costa Del Mar allows local youth a chance to learn from the country's top young anglers at a free fishing and conservation clinic taught by the collegiate competitors themselves.
"The Under Armour College Bass National Championship was created as a way to promote bass fishing at the college level and increase interest in the sport," said Steve Levi, general manager of fishing properties at Career Sports & Entertainment, the agency that owns the CBNC. "By pairing collegiate anglers with even younger fans of fishing, we have the chance to instill in kids a love for the outdoors at an early age."
Ages seven and up are welcome and all attendees receive a goodie bag and a photo with all participants upon completion of the program. Collegiate anglers are joined by Costa Del Mar pros from the Bassmaster Elite Series when available. In addition, local state Game and Fish Commissions and associated conservation projects are involved in select markets.
Now in its fourth year, the Under Armour College Bass National Championship has become the nation's most prestigious collegiate tournament for bass fishing.
The 2008 event featured 56 teams representing colleges and universities across the United States and the shows will air on ESPNU later this summer. Anglers of Tomorrow presented by Costa Del Mar made its debut during the 2008 event.
