“We are excited to continue to work with the Association of Collegiate Anglers in support of the great work they’re doing for college anglers and fishing clubs around the country,” said David Dunn, Garmin director of marine sales. “We are deeply committed to the freshwater fishing industry and the ACA is a great place for us to showcase our award-winning products and technologies to the future of our sport.”
“Garmin has long been one of the main pillars supporting the sport of collegiate bass fishing,” explained Wade Middleton, Director of the ACA and President of CarecoTV. “It has truly been amazing to watch the continued growth of Garmin products and how many college anglers now have them on their boats. This is not only a testament to the quality of Garmin products but also the programs Garmin has put in place to support this next generation of anglers.”
