JUNCTION CITY -The Cabela’s Team National Championship will be at Milford Lake May 28-30.

The Cabela’s NTC will be comprised of 185 teams that qualified through competition in local tournaments organized by walleye clubs sanctioned by The Walleye Federation.

Many of the anglers have been pre-fishing the lake for several weeks, but most will begin arriving the week of May 17. Teams will vie for more than $250,000 in cash and prizes.

The entire field will compete the first two day on Milford Lake with each team being allowed to bring their best fish to the scale each day. Only the top 25 teams will advance to the final round on day three. The public can watch the teams daily when they take off from the Milford Marina at Milford State Park each morning at 7 a.m., then watch the weigh-ins which begin at 3 p.m.

The tournament will be live-streamed on the Internet at www.cabelas.com.ntc and at www.walleyefederation.com. NBC Sports and the Pursuit Channel are also filming the tournament for national television.

Connie Hall, Geary County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Director, said if any business is interested in offering coupons / promotions to the competitors while they’re in town, contact the CVB at 238-2885 or email the [email protected].

Ten volunteers are needed to help with the tournament. Volunteer times are 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. through weigh-in conclusion. Jobs will include traffic control, parking, information table, and running fish after weigh-in to the release boats. If you can help, contact the CVB at 238-2885 or email the [email protected]
