Schedule announced for '25 ABT 100 series

The Alabama Bass Trail has announced dates and locations of the 2025 ABT 100 tournament series. Returning for the fifth season, the series is held on three different lakes beginning Jan. 18, 2025, attracting professional and amateur anglers from across the United States who will compete for a $25,000 first-place prize.

“We are excited to announce the schedule for the fifth season of the Alabama Bass Trail 100, especially the addition of Wilson Lake, a new lake to ABT anglers, to the tournament trail. The 100-boat field gives us the flexibility to host events on smaller bodies of water and to really showcase some of Alabama's hidden gems that other large organizations can't utilize,” said ABT Program Director Kay Donaldson.

The ABT 100 Series is open to professional and amateur anglers and features three tournaments. The maximum number of boats for each tournament is 100. Entry fee for each event is $1,000 and teams must fish all three tournaments.

Tournament dates and locations for the 2025 Alabama Bass Trail 100 Series:

> Jan. 18, 2025 -- Lake Guntersville, Scottsboro, Ala.

> June 7, 2025 -- Lake Eufaula, Eufaula, Ala.

> Nov. 1, 2025 -- Wilson Lake, Florence, Ala.

Each tournament features a $25,000 guaranteed first place prize and pays 20 places, plus a $1,000 big fish totaling $100,000.

The entry fee is $3,000 per team. Each team may choose to pay a $1,500 nonrefundable deposit to hold the team’s spot. The balance of $1,500 must be paid by Dec. 1, 2024.

Registration is limited to 100 boats and teams that fished the ABT 100 in 2024 will receive priority registration beginning June 1 at AlabamaBassTrail100.org. Registration opens for new teams on June 11 at 5:30 a.m.
