Despite the Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament going under new management last month, JJ Malvitz says you can expect only improvements in the future. Federation Angler took over the reins of the event last month, bringing in years of experience in organizing tournaments across North America. Malvitz says the partnership will allow the tournament to run more efficiently without losing that local flavor.

Malvitz says favorite auxiliary events like Kids Day will remain. Registration is open for the 30th annual North American Bass Challenge Sturgeon Bay Open Bass Tournament, which takes place on May 15th and 16th.
