Weclome Anglers to the 2011 Season!
Our 2010 Season was a rollercoaster of a ride with the points race for angler of the year being decided, narrowly, on the last day of our division championship. 2011 should be a burner too, we've got plenty of events left in the season, excellent participation and you can join the ABA at any time (365 day membership).
Division 59 is relaxed, but professionally run, with an emphasis on having a good time while enjoying the opportunity to compete against other midwest anglers. If you've been interested in trying tournament fishing, been out of the game for a while or just want to experience the ABA, we'd love to see you at one of our events. Our format allows you to try competitive bass fishing at whatever level makes you comfortable. As a boater or non-boater, you can compete in one event, several events, or fish enough events to be eligible for our Divsion's Angler of the Year and qualify to compete in American Bass Anglers' national tournament with hundreds of anglers from across the country.
Contact us any time with questions & we hope to see you this season.
American Bass Anglers Draw Trail is a national tournament trail for the weekend angler with Divisions across the country. Tournaments are one-day, close to home and have a low entry fee. If you bring your boat, you get to use it. Don't have a boat? You don't need one because non-boaters are welcome. Partner pairing is random at the ramp the morning of the tournament.
Whether you want to try tournament angling for the first time, are an experienced tournament angler or just want to compete for fun against other anglers, you need to try ABA Division 59. With a low annual membership ($25), you can choose to fish one or all tournaments in the Division. With an ABA membership, you are also able to fish events in other Divisions across in the country!
Competing in just 4 one-day events qualifies you for the 2-day Division Championship. Finish with the most points in the Division and you'll qualify for the National Angler-of-the-Year competition. Anglers who fish the 2-day Division Championship and have earned enough points, are eligible to fish in the National Championship (Kentucky Lake, KY for 2010)
Check the American Bass Anglers Draw Trail website for rules and regulations before attending an event.
Membership and registration can be handled at the ramp on the morning of the tournament.
Contact Terry Cooper or Rick Riley for more information about fishing Division 59.
We look forward to seeing you on the water this year!
