🚨2024 SCHEDULE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
Ferguson’s Great Outdoors Marine Open Tournament Series announces new regional tournament series with new incentives!
Owner Grant Ferguson is excited for the new 2024 schedule that features new places and locations the series has never been to before but also returning to some familiar locations.
“Time and time again we hear anglers say they would love to fish a regional tournament series that branches out of the area of West Virginia. Last year we added Lake Cumberland and it was huge success, we ended up cutting off entries a week prior because it filled up to our 50 boat limit at the time. We even asked our regulars what they thought of the new location outside of West Virginia and it was nothing but positive feedback. So we knew for 2024 it was time to do something a little different. West Virginia is home and everyone in the fishing community knows each other here. I love our area and our community, so even with the new regional schedule we wanted to still offer tournaments in state for those who have supported us over the years. But also offer people in state the opportunity to fish outside of West Virginia on some incredible fisheries. We are thrilled for next year and we can’t wait to see y’all on the water in March when the season kicks off.”
