Wheeler Lake to Host American Bass Anglers’ Couple Series July 12

The American Bass Anglers, who conducts the largest and most prestigious tournament trail for weekend anglers, is bringing its American Couples Series to the River City on July 12, 2014. Couples from across north Alabama will compete for cash prizes and to earn a spot in the championship to be held in September.    

The American Couples Series feature teams of two anglers – one man and one woman, not necessarily married, related or in a relationship, competing against other teams for cash prizes. During the tournament, each team may weigh in up to five bass, regardless of which team member catches them. At the end of the season, the best teams from divisions across the country gather to compete in an annual championship to be held on Lake Eufaula in September.

Ingalls Harbor, located at 802 Wilson Street NW in Decatur, will host the takeoff and weigh-in. Takeoff is set for safe daylight with the tournament wrapping up at 3 p.m. Takeoff and weigh-in are free and open to the public.
