DECATUR, AL – The Alabama Bass Trail Teams Series (ABTTS) is set to kick off its twelfth season, beginning with the North Division’s Stop #1 at Lewis Smith Lake on February 8, 2025.
The blast-off will take place at Lewis Smith Lake Dam, 7811 Lewis Smith Lake Dam Road, Jasper, AL 35504, at 7:00 A.M. or safe daylight, with the first flight due in at 3:00 P.M. for weigh-in.
“For the fourth time, the Alabama Bass Trail North Division kicks off at Smith Lake in Jasper, AL. A lot goes into making an Alabama Bass Trail schedule. The first stop is a key element because it’s the first impression on 35% of this year’s teams. The meeting location, the number of volunteers that literally roll out the red carpet, the expanded boat ramp facility, and docks, and the spacious parking area all make premier destinations for our first stop of the year. We are thankful that Linda Lewis and her board of directors continue to see the value of hosting the Alabama Bass Trail and other tournaments that drive revenue to their local community,” said Kay Donaldson, director of the Alabama Bass Trail.
Named “Event of the Year” by Decatur Morgan Tourism, the Alabama Bass Trail stands as one of the Southeast’s most competitive tournament circuits and is the second-largest tournament trail in the United States. Selling out in under 7 minutes, the ABTTS 2025 Season will bring in anglers from across the United States, fishing the best lakes in the state of Alabama. The series maintains a guaranteed first-place prize of $15,000 per tournament, with payouts extending to the top 40 finishers in the regular divisions. Over $750,000 in cash and prizes will be up for grabs this season! The Tournament Trail offers two divisions along with a NO-entry-fee championship with a grand prize of $50,000! As a sanctioned tournament series in the B.A.S.S. Team Championship, the ABTTS will qualify 18 teams to fish the BASSMASTER Team Championship in 2025. The top angler fishing the BASSMASTER Team Championship will qualify to fish the 2026 BASSMASTER Classic!
