Lake St Clair gets its first Elite Series event in 2013

2013 Bassmaster Elite Series Schedule Announced

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The 2013 Bassmaster Elite Series offers something for everyone: rivers and lakes; largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass; opportunities for record catches; and plenty of challenges for the world's greatest bass anglers. Eight events in seven different states promise to create a true test of the best and one of the most exciting Elite seasons ever.

The 2013 Elite season wraps up in Detroit with the Lake St. Clair Championship (Aug. 22-25). Though the Elite Series has not been to the Motor City before, this will be the fourth B.A.S.S. event to launch from the lake since 1994. Northern Opens were held on the adjacent Detroit River in 2010 and 2012. The lake and rivers are strong summertime fisheries — St. Clair ranks 13th on the Best 100 Bass Lakes list — and promise to provide a great season finale in which so much is at stake. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year will be crowned here, and as many as 36 Elite anglers will earn berths in the 2014 Bassmaster Classic.

I'm predicting lots of weight! Lots! For just about everyone!

B.A.S.S. sent out a correction this afternoon for the dates of the Alabama River Challenge - Alabama River to May 9-12, 2013.

If you want to marshal this first every Bassmaster Elite Series event on Lake St. Clair, you'll probably want to get priority to make sure you can get in. It should be a real popular event!
