Mike Webb, president of K.A.ST. (Kids Are Special Too), announced recently that he is the new owner of the Missouri-based Central Pro Am Tournament Association. Effective immediately, Webb will take over all operations and tournament functions of Central Pro Am.
“This is a great opportunity for everyone involved with Central Pro Am,” Webb said. “Several changes to benefit the anglers and set CPAA apart from other circuits are in the works. We’ll be making more announcements very soon.”
The remainder of the 2012 season will continue as planned, with final events of the regular season on Table Rock Lake in September and championships set for October.
Yet to be released, Webb indicated the 2013 schedule will return to the 2-day pro-am format.
“We’ll return to the format that built CPAA – traveling to a different lake for each qualifying event and a championship on a lake the circuit hasn’t visited during the regular season. In 2013, Central Pro-Am will give anglers multi-day events, close to home with a solid payback.”
K.A.S.T. will continue its mission to promote fishing and the outdoors as an alternative to drugs.
“K.A.S.T. will continue to visit schools, NHRA and NASCAR events, delivering our anti-drug message and reaching more kids than ever before.” Webb noted. “Eventually we hope to develop the kids' tournament series we always dreamed of. Now we have the tools to give more kids the opportunity to fish.”
