Entries for the entire five-event Top-75 Western Tour must be received by the Angler’s Press Outdoors offices before January 1st, 2024, and will be taken on a first-come-first-served basis, as when the 75-team field is filled for this five-event tour, no further entries will be taken.
Because the size of the field at every event will be established before-hand, it will allow us to provide participating anglers with free breakfast snacks and lunch before and after each event, and guarantee that the results and standings are updated to the Angler’s Press Outdoors website before the event trailer and staff leave the lake!
The Youth Angler League - presented by R2Sea and Daiwa, is still in effect – with NO ENTRY FEE REQUIRED for participating youth, and guaranteed cash and prizes - for two separate divisions, given out at each event. Youth Angler League entries will still be taken the morning of each event.
Stay tuned, we are working diligently to bring even more exciting features and bonuses for anglers participating in this Top-75 Western Tour ...so please visit the APO website frequently for updates!
