The National Professional Fishing League cancels Day 1 at Lake Murray

Tournament will Begin Tomorrow, December 12

The National Professional Fishing League (NPFL) has canceled Day 1 at the final stop of the 2024 NPFL season on Lake Murray out of Newberry, South Carolina, due to unsafe weather conditions.

The decision was made after tournament officials reviewed reports from the National Weather Service and other sources issuing Lake Wind Advisories and calling for sustained winds of greater than 20 mph and gusts up to 40 mph. “Our commitment is to the safety and well-being of our anglers,” said NPFL president Brad Fuller. “We’re eager to get this tournament in the books, to wrap up our Progressive Angler of the Year race and finalize our field for the 2025 NPFL Championship, but safety will always come first, and the current weather situation presents a threat that’s too great to risk.”

The cancellation of today’s competition means that NPFL Stop 6 on Lake Murray, hosted by Capital City/Lake Murray Country Regional Tourism Board (CCLMC), will be reduced to a two-day event starting Thursday, December 12, and ending Friday, December 13. After the competition, NPFL will crown its 2024 Progressive Angler of the Year and set the field for the 2025 NPFL Championship on Lake Hartwell next October.

The National Professional Fishing League Series Finale has been reduced to a two-day event starting Thursday, December 12, and ending Friday, December 13.
