B.A.S.S. unveiled its 2013 Elite Series schedule today 8-22-12

B.A.S.S. unveiled its 2013 Elite Series schedule today.

Like this year, it’s an eight-event circuit, but the season will get underway in Texas rather than Florida as has been the case the last 2 years. There are a couple repeat venues from this year, no “mystery lake” and two sets of back-to-back events.

The schedule released by B.A.S.S earlier today contained the wrong dates for the Alabama River event. It’s now slated for May 9-12, meaning it’ll take place immediately after the West Point Lake tournament.

Here’s a look at the slate:

BASSMASTER CLASSIC 
 Dates: Feb. 22-24 
 Venue: Grand Lake 
 Host: Tulsa, Okla.

ELITE #1 
 Dates: March 14-17 
 Venue: Sabine River Host: Orange, Texas

ELITE #2 
 Dates: March 21-24 
 Venue: Falcon Lake 
 Host: Zapata, Texas

ELITE #3 
 Dates: April 18-21 
 Venue: Bull Shoals Lake

ELITE #4 
 Dates: May 2-5

ELITE #5 
 Dates: May 9-12

ELITE #6

ELITE #8

 Venue: Lake St. Clair 
 Host: Detroit

As you can see, return trips are being made to Bull Shoals Lake and the Mississippi River out of La Crosse, Wis., at virtually the exact same time as this year’s events.
