MLF reveals schedule for college, high school events

Major League Fishing has announced the schedules for the 2024 College Fishing and High School Fishing season, with each circuit providing numerous prizes, scholarships and advancement opportunities for qualified teams.

In 2024, College Fishing teams can compete in up to nine qualifying tournaments around the country. The top 12 percent of teams from each event will advance to the 2025 College Fishing National Championship.
