Skeeter Boat owners who plan to fish Michigan’s Payback Bass Circuit can now qualify for the Skeeter Reel Money Program that will get you bonus cash for winning the tournaments.

Jeff Uetrecht at Lake Drive Marine in Coldwater announced the Skeeter involvement last week.

For example, if you own a 2019 Skeeter powered with a 225 Yamaha or bigger and win a Payback Bass event, you can win an additional $3,000 from Skeeter. If you have a 2019 Skeeter with a 200, you win $1,000. Or if you have an older Skeeter powered by Yamaha you can win $500.

To be eligible, Skeeter owners must pre-register with the Reel Money Program. You can do that at the Skeeter dealer or online at Skeeterboats.com.

The Payback Bass Circuit consists of three events: June 2 at Burt/Mullet; June 23 at Lake St. Clair; and July 21 at Manistee Lake. A $10,000 championship will be held later this year.

Entry fee for the two-man team event is $400 and the field is capped at 60 boats. First place is a guaranteed $5,000 and each event pays back 95 percent of the entry fees. There are no membership fees. For more information, visit www.paybackbass.com.
