Hello everyone! My name is Brandon Ackerson and I am the founder of this tour. This is an idea that I have had for a few years now. It is nothing new except for the entry amount. This model combined the structure of the Bass Opens with the BFLs. Solo events at a regional level competing for the championship where everyone gets paid and a great AOY prize.

I intend to run this tour as a true pro series. That’s why we have the top 75 from each division qualifying each season for priority entry. So even when you are having a down year you are still competing to secure your spot for seasons to come.

We are currently in talks with potential sponsors and hope to be able to improve upon an already great payout.

My goal is to create a home for anglers that enjoy fishing solo but can’t afford to pay $2,000 entry fees or may not have the vacation days to be gone for weeks out of the year.

This will be a tour to test your talents against the top anglers in your state. Winning AOY will be a very meaningful accomplishment and we will crown a champion that is truly the best of the best.
