Over 100% payback plus significant boat and engine contingency available 

Competitive walleye anglers will converge on the Missouri River at Mobridge, S.D., June 27-28, for the second regular-season event of the Cabela’s National Walleye Tour. The tournament circuit features a pro-am style format and guarantees over 100% payback.

The Missouri River event begins Thursday, June 26, with tournament registration from 2-4 p.m. at Scherr-Howe Event Center (212 N. Main St., Mobridge, SD 57601) with a mandatory pre-tournament meeting set to start at 5:00 p.m. Pro and co-angler pairings will be announced at the pre-tournament meeting.

Anglers will launch Friday and Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. from the Indian Creek Recreation Center (12905 288th Ave., Mobridge, SD 57601) with the weigh-ins set for 3 p.m. each day at Wrigley Square at the south end of Main Street.

On Saturday, Mercury Marine and Triton Boats will be offering free demo rides of the acclaimed 216 Fishunter from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) will also host a “Future Angler” program for children after Saturday’s weigh-in, at approximately 4:15 p.m., featuring an educational seminar and training for youth from top-notch NPAA members. The youth-orientated event will include a free rod/reel combo or “Future Pro” t-shirt for the first 100 children who attend the educational program. The event will take place on Sunday in the event of any weather cancellations on Saturday.
