TEXARKANA, Ark.—Texarkana is set to welcome 117 professional anglers along with fishing fans and visitors this week as the National Professional Fishing League hosts Strike King NPFL Stop 2 at Millwood Lake. The three-day tournament runs April 23–25, with takeoffs and weigh-ins at Yarborough Landing in Ashdown, Arkansas, putting Texarkana squarely in the national spotlight for professional bass fishing.
The event draws the sport’s top talent, including Patrick Walters, Greg Hackney, Zack Birge, Scott Canterbury, Hank Cherry, Drew Cook, John Cox, Andy Morgan, Bill Lowen, and Gerald Swindle, among others. Daily weigh-ins begin at 3:00 p.m. CST and are open to the public, with live streaming coverage available through NPFL’s GO LIVE platform and YouTube channel each day from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
“Millwood Lake is an incredible fishery, but what excites me most is what happens when those anglers come off the water,” said Ulysses Brewer, Chairman of the Texarkana Arkansas Advertising & Promotion Commission. “Texarkana is where they’ll be staying, eating, and spending their evenings. We get to be their hosts, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to our community and show them everything that makes this place great.”
