THE FRONT PAGE FLW High School Fishing Summer Camp Registration Now Open FLW announced recently that registration for the 2020 rendition of the FLW High School Fishing Summer Camp presented by Tackle Warehouse, which runs from July 22-24, is now open and will continue through June 30 or until all camp spots have been filled. The camp, which is held on the beautiful Murray State University campus, with daily activities on the shores of Kentucky Lake, is the ulti- mate summer camp for seri- ous high school anglers from grades 8 through 12, along with their parents, boat cap- tains and coaches. Students will receive instruction from top professionals and indus- try executives to take their fishing and fishing-career readiness to the next level. Adults have the option to drop off their students or stay throughout the camp and participate in special panel discussions aimed at identi- fying best practices to give your High School Fishing team the edge it needs to thrive. Following camp, the FLW Foundation is hosting a ben- efit tournament on Kentucky Lake on Saturday, July 25, for campers who would like to put their newfound skills to the test while helping raise 16 money for the foundation’s High School Fishing scholar- ship fund. The tournament features two divisions – a boat divi- sion and a kayak division – and two campers will be selected to fish with an FLW pro. Participants in the tour- nament are eligible for thou- sands of dollars in cash prizes. The camp fee is $300 per student/adult. The FLW Foundation benefit tourna- ment is optional, and the entry fee is $200 per boat and $100 per kayak. You do not need a boat to participate in camp, and parents are not required to attend.

Pro Ryan Salzman Offering Chance at Mentorship Program Second-year Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit pro Ryan Salzman knows how important it is to give back to the community and to stoke the fires of competitive fish- ing in the youth (and future) of the sport. To further both goals, the Alabama pro and full-time guide on Lake Guntersville is offering a chance for a lucky young angler to win a mentorship under Salzman’s tutelage. The mentorship is geared toward helping young anglers learn impor- tant skills related to the fishing industry – from catching fish to the business side of the sport. Salzman also plans to docu- ment the experience on his YouTube channel (Alabama Bass Guide) so everyone can follow along and learn with the winner. Salzman’s mentorship program is available to high school anglers, and he’ll choose a winner by March 1. To enter for a chance to win, subscribe to Salzman’s YouTube channel (required), and fill out the entry form that can be found on his website, alabamabassguide.com. Polaris Giveaway Details > JUST AS IT DID last season, Polaris is teaming up with FLW in 2020 to give away a pair of ATVs and a UTV. The winner of the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Polaris Rookie of the Year award will receive a Polaris Ranger 1000 UTV (a $12,999 value). Rookie of the Year is awarded to the top pro from the points standings after the seven Pro Circuit qualifiers (ties resolved by total weight) who has never fished a Pro Circuit or Bassmaster Elite Series tournament as a pro before this season. In addition, Polaris will award two Sportsman 570 ATVs (valued at $7,799 each) to contest winners. Any angler who enters a Phoenix Bass Fishing League presented by T-H Marine or FLW Series event as either a boater/pro or a co-angler will automatically be entered to win a Polaris Sportsman 570, and the winner of the second Sportsman 570 will be chosen from a pool of entries from participants who fill out a BRC card at Phoenix Bass Fishing League and FLW Series tournaments or via the online entry form.
