“As we make our offseason preparations for the 16th season of College Fishing and 14th season of High School Fishing, we are excited to release the very competitive 2024 College Fishing and High School Fishing schedules,” said Kevin Hunt, MLF Senior Director of Tournament Operations, College and High School Fishing. “It has been so exciting and rewarding to see the level of competition increase every year. These circuits, while challenging, are a fantastic way to provide student anglers the opportunity to compete on the water for scholarships and prizes. We can’t wait to kick off the season in early January down in Florida.”

In 2024, MLF Abu Garcia College Fishing teams can compete in up to nine qualifying tournaments around the country. The top 12% of teams from each event will advance to the 2025 College Fishing National Championship.

The 2024 MLF High School Fishing circuit will feature teams competing in seven open tournaments, with the majority held in conjunction with Abu Garcia College Fishing events to allow students and parents to network with prospective college teams and coaches during college weigh-ins. MLF High School Fishing Opens are two-person (team) events for students in grades 7-12, and open to any Student Angler Federation (SAF)-affiliated high school club in the United States. The top 10% of teams in each tournament advance to the High School Fishing National Championship.
