The National Professional Fishing League announced that it will complete its 2024 season on South Carolina’s Lake Murray out of Newberry, S.C., December 11-13. The tournament was previously scheduled for the St. Johns River out of DeLand, Fla., but high waters and unsafe conditions following two major hurricanes required that the venue be changed.
“There are mixed emotions with this announcement,” said NPFL President Brad Fuller. “We’re disappointed that we cannot move ahead with plans to fish the St. Johns River and work with the wonderful team at the West Volusia Tourism Advertising Authority, but weather and river conditions meant that we first had to reschedule that event and that we now must relocate it. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to go to historic Lake Murray and finish our season on a fishery that we’ve been targeting for some time and that promises to be a fantastic setting for our season finale.”
Created nearly a century ago, Murray offers 50,000 surface acres and 650 miles of shoreline for the NPFL pros to spread out and target largemouth bass using a wide variety of baits and techniques.
