San Antonio, Texas - Yamaha Marine and
the Association of Collegiate Anglers have renewed their partnership for the
Cabela's Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, presented by BoatUS.
Collegiate anglers will enjoy increased support through the ACA Discounts and
Incentives Program, including bonuses in all three Cabela's Collegiate Bass
Fishing Series events. Yamaha Marine will also provide onsite support at the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship, and sponsor
Yamaha Angler Appreciation Night.
"The Association of Collegiate Anglers has done a great job organizing and
promoting these events," said Frank Wilhelm, Yamaha Marine Group
Advertising Manager. "We are pleased to be supporting the Cabela's
Collegiate Bass Fishing Series again this year."
Collegiate anglers can look forward to enhanced payouts at each event of the
season, with Yamaha awarding up to $1,000 for a victory if the boat used in
competition is powered by a Yamaha motor and the anglers display the Yamaha
logo on their jerseys. In the event the winners aren't participating in the
program, the highest finishers to display the Yamaha logo on their jerseys are
still eligible for a $500 bonus per event, regardless of motor brand. Complete
details can be found in the ACA Discounts and Incentives Program.
Collegiate anglers competing in the BoatUS Collegiate
Bass Fishing Championship, will also get to enjoy Yamaha Angler Appreciation
night.
"We are always looking for additional ways to support this group of
anglers and we believe we hit the mark with our Yamaha Angler Appreciation
Night," said David Ittner, Tournament and Pro
Staff Manager of Yamaha Marine Group. "We provide dinner, service,
seminars, and the opportunity to experience firsthand the superior performance
of Yamaha Outboards."
Yamaha will provide demo rides during the event, which is scheduled for
Tuesday, May 21st in Florence, Alabama. Activities will take place at McFarland
Park, from 4 to 8 pm.
"Yamaha's continued support of the Cabela's Collegiate Bass Fishing Series
has been instrumental in allowing us to grow and develop our collegiate
programs and events," said Wade Middleton, Co-founder of the ACA, and
President of CarecoTV. "Their onsite support at
the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship was
remarkable in 2012 and we look forward to building upon that in 2013. From
mechanical service, to informative professional seminars, Yamaha takes
fantastic care of these collegiate anglers and plays a big part in making our
championship like no other."
