Boaters and Strike King co-anglers interested in fishing the Phoenix Bass Fishing League presented by T-H Marine can register now for 2024.

The Bass Fishing League is the only circuit where anglers can fish close to home with opportunities to advance to the All-American, Toyota Series Championship and even REDCREST, which provide opportunities to win top boater awards of $120,000, $235,000 and $300,000, respectively (including Phoenix MLF Bonuses).

Each qualifying tournament will continue to offer a top boater award up to $13,000, including a $7,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus, and a top Strike King co-angler award of $3,000. Top awards jump up to $16,000 for boaters and $4,500 for Strike King co-anglers in Super Tournaments.

Entry fees

Entry fees for one-day qualifying tournaments and the Wild Card are $220 per boater and $110 per co-angler. Two-day Super Tournament and Regional entry fees are $330 per boater and $165 per co-angler. 

AOY prizes

In addition to tournament winnings and postseason opportunities, the Angler of the Year in each division will receive $1,000. On the co-angler side, the best in each division will take home $500 in Strike King Co-angler of the Year prize money.

Emil Wagner took home the win at the 2023 All-American and qualified for REDCREST 2024 at Lay Lake as well.

Postseason opportunities

This season, anglers can qualify for six Regionals, where the first-place boater and co-angler each take home a brand-new Phoenix bass boat. The winning boater will also pocket $10,000 in addition to the boat, and the highest-finishing boater from each division at a Regional will receive a $1,000 bonus. The highest finishing co-angler from each division will earn a $500 bonus. Regional qualification goes to the top 45 anglers in each division, plus the winners of the qualifiers and the Super Tournaments.

The Wild Card will maintain its $13,000 top boater award, including Phoenix MLF Bonus, and a top co-angler award of $3,000. Enter all five events in a division, fish at least two and automatically advance to the Wild Card if you are not qualified for a Regional. 

The top six boaters and co-anglers from each Regional and the Wild Card in 2024 will qualify to fish the no-entry-fee All-American in 2024. The highest-finishing boater and co-angler from each Regional and the Wild Card at the All-American will advance to the Toyota Series Championship. Anglers only need to beat five others from their region to advance to a second no-entry-fee championship for a shot at one of the sport’s biggest paydays.

As was the case in 2023, the All-American boater champion will advance to REDCREST for a shot at winning $300,000.
