SUSQUEHANNA RIVER – SOLD OUT !

Wow – another one! Susquehanna River has SOLD OUT at our maximum capacity of 200 registered anglers. If you missed it, we encourage you to email BOS@Hobie.com to join the wait list. Waiting list are published on the events info pages.

 

---

This stop of the Hobie Bass Open Series Anchored by Power-Pole, takes us to Harrisburg, PA on the Susquehanna River. One of the most iconic rivers in the country offers our anglers the perfect summer tournament venue.  Shallow shoals, dams and rapids will provide some amazing smallmouth bass opportunities for our anglers but some deeper, slower pools mixed with grass can open up the fishery for the plentiful largemouth opportunities that exist too. This mid- Atlantic stop is going to be something special and one you won’t want to miss.

A maximum capacity of 200 Anglers will be competing for a cash payout to 10% of the field, and the top 3 non- qualified anglers will earn their spot in the 2022 Tournament of Champions (TOC) on Caddo Lake Nov 11-13 in Shreveport- Bossier City, LA. 

The TOC is a 3- day, 50 Angler championship with a $100,000 payout guarantee.

If maximum capacity is reached anglers can email BOS@Hobie.com to get on the official wait list.

All anglers entering will have a chance to win a 2022 Hobie Outback in custom Orange and Black ‘BOS Camo’ color way. In addition to the Outback, every angler registered will be eligible to win a Torqeedo 1103 Ultralight motor.  Along with many other prizes that will be randomly given away from our sponsors.
