The Seminole Junior Anglers are coming off of the holiday break and getting right back into the swing of things. They have a busy next few months, traveling throughout Florida to compete in events against the best high school teams in the state. The first event is the FLW high school open being held out of Roland Martin Fish Camp on the shores of Lake Okeechobee. This event, on January 15th, will test the anglers’ skills on one of the best fishing lakes in the country. The junior anglers will then compete in the B.A.S.S. State Qualifier, on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes on February 12th. Just a couple weeks later, the anglers will have the first of back to back events on the St. Johns River out of Palatka. The first event is the FLW State Event, being held on February 26th. The top 10% of the field in this event will qualify to compete in the regional event being held in September. The follow up event, being held March 12th, is the final B.A.S.S Qualifying event for the year.
