MAHAFFEY WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL VOLUNTEER DIVISION OPENER ON WATTS BAR LAKE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS

Knoxville’s Coker Takes Co-angler Title

ROCKWOOD, Tenn. (March 4, 2019) – Boater Jeffrey Mahaffey of Bristol, Tennessee, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 20 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Volunteer Division opener on Watts Bar Lake presented by Navionics. Mahaffey earned $3,164 for his catch.

“I targeted isolated laydowns mid-lake. The area near takeoff at Tom Fuller Park was especially productive for me – I caught two over 5 pounds there,” said Mahaffey, who earned his first career win in FLW competition. “I primarily ran shallow cover off the bank, but capitalized on the deeper stuff that was maybe 50 to 75 yards off of the bank, if I saw it. I probably hit around 25 pockets, but targeted just a handful of trees – many only had one tree in them.”

Mahaffey said he leaned on two custom baits from Jerry’s Bait Shop in Rockwood to put together his limit – a ½-ounce and a ¾-ounce double-willow spinnerbait with white and blue coloring, each with a chartreuse Zoom Straight Tail Worm trailer.

“The shallower bites came from 6 to 8 feet down. You had to fish the ends of the trees – when the spinnerbait kind of came out of the tree and fell off the end, that’s when you’d get a bite,” said Mahaffey. “The deeper cover off the bank behind me was in 8 to 10 feet of water. That’s when I’d switch to the ¾-ounce [spinnerbait] and really let it sink down and get to the base.”

Mahaffey said he ended up catching 10 keepers throughout the day.

“Both of these patterns were fishing extremely slow – you really had to slow roll the spinnerbaits to get a bite,” said Mahaffey.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Jeffrey Mahaffey, Bristol, Tenn., five bass, 20-10, $3,164

2nd:         Jonathan Bowling, Harriman, Tenn., five bass, 17-10, $1,782

3rd:          Nick Huff, Bean Station, Tenn., five bass, 17-7, $1,154

4th:          Matt Linton, Kingston, Tenn., five bass, 17-4, $738

5th:          Jason Sosebee, Knoxville, Tenn., five bass, 17-3, $633

6th:          Brad Mattie, Oak Ridge, Tenn., five bass, 17-2, $580

7th:          Chase Henley, Kingston, Tenn., five bass, 16-14, $527

8th:          Jeff Knight, Cleveland, Tenn., five bass, 16-10, $855

9th:          Tim Wyatt, Crossville, Tenn., five bass, 16-8, $422

10th:        Tyler Meredith, Oliver Springs, Tenn., five bass, 16-4, $369

5th:          Dennis Lewis, Powell, Tenn., five bass, 11-11, $316

6th:          David Blakely, Kingsport, Tenn., three bass, 11-9, $340

7th:          Nick Ogle, Lenoir City, Tenn., four bass, 11-5, $264

8th:          Larry Brumett Jr., Seymour, Tenn., three bass, 10-1, $237

9th:          Brandon Harris, Spring City, Tenn., four bass, 9-8, $211

10th:        Robert Davis, Bethalto, Ill., three bass, 8-12, $185

Brian Miller of Calhoun, Georgia, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 5 pounds, 10 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $190.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 10-12 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Hartwell in Seneca, South Carolina, presented by Navionics. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard.

The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American. The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30-June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.

Evers puts brakes on Conroe 8-pounder to capture Bonus Bucks

Alan McGuckin from Dynamic Sponsorships

 

When you catch an 8-pounder in the final minutes of an event you already appear destined to win, the old saying, “when it’s your day, it’s your day” begins to hold water like the Lake Conroe Dam.

“I had been pitching a Texas-rigged Berkley Pit Boss to undercut banks most of the day to catch my fish, and then decided to throw a drop shot in the final minutes when that 8-pounder bit,” says Lake Conroe’s Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour Champion Edwin Evers.

It was the first bass Evers caught all week on a drop shot, but the Toyota Tundra he towed his Nitro to weigh-in at La Torretta Resort is either his fifth or sixth. He’s not sure.

“Man, I’ve lost count of how many Toyota Tundras I’ve bought to be honest with you, but I think this is my fifth or sixth,” grinned the former college football defensive back from Talala, Oklahoma.

What Evers knows for sure is the towing and braking power of his Tundra are critical to the safety of his illustrious career.

“What I love most about a Toyota Tundra is what I call “the go and the stop” – that 381 horsepower engine has a ton of towing power, but a Tundra also has huge oversized brakes to stop 4,000 pounds of boat and motor, plus no tellin’ how much weight in fishing tackle and other equipment I’m carrying,” says Evers.

“Everybody thinks about towing power when they’re buying a truck, but you really need to think about whether the truck you’re buying has the braking system necessary to stop what you’re towing in a safe way,” advises Evers.

Evers gives good advice on towing safety, and he also did a fantastic job of putting the brakes on that giant 8-pounder with a spinning reel at Conroe, but you don’t have to be a Major League Fishing pro to cash in on Toyota Bonus Bucks. You just have to drive a 2015 or newer Toyota Truck, sign up Free for Bonus Bucks, and be the highest finishing registered participant in one of the dozens of tournaments supported by the program.

Getting to know Carhartt College Series Bassmaster Classic qualifier Nick Ratliff

Alan McGuckin from Dynamic Sponsorships

 

Only a handful of young college anglers have earned the right to compete in bass fishing’s biggest event the past 48 years. This year, it’s Nick Ratliff, an easy-going 22 year old senior majoring in business and marketing at Campbellsville University in Kentucky who will test his youthful but proven ability to catch bass against the world’s best.

The Classic takes place March 15-17 on the rivers surrounding Knoxville, Tennessee, and Ratliff was gracious enough to give fishing fans a chance to get to know him better amid a quick Q & A just days before he heads south to East Tennessee.

 

What is your earliest fishing memory?

Ratliff:Probably my dad and Papaw taking me to my grandparents’ house to fish at Kentucky Lake from about the time I could walk.

 

What’s the coolest thing about participating in the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series?

Ratliff:The people I’ve met, and all the awesome places we’ve been able to travel to. I’ve met some of my very best friends through fishing these events.

 

If you could take us on the perfect fishing trip, where would we go, and how would we catch them?

Ratliff:We’d go to Green River Lake in Central Kentucky in late March and hammer ‘em on a big spinnerbait.

 

What three lures would you list as your all time favorites?

Ratliff:Berkley Digger 25.5 crankbait, Berkley Cane Walker topwater, and a Cumberland Pro Lures spinnerbait.

 

What music will you be listening to most in your Tundra throughout the tournament year ahead?

Ratliff:Koe Wetzel, Read Southhall and Casey Donahew.

 

One meal you could eat at least twice a week and never get tired of it?

Ratliff: Anything with pasta.

 

What do your parents do for a living?

Ratliff:My mom is a waitress, and my dad is a Carhartt wearing siding and aluminum guy.

 

Tell all of us who love to fish what Carhartt garments you love the most.

Ratliff:Carhartt Gilliam jacket– great for layering, and just an awesome all around jacket for daily wear. Storm Defender rain gear– keeps me warm and dry, but light enough to wear on sunny days without getting too hot. And Carhartt midweight base layers– as an avid waterfowler, and a person that fishes year-round, you learn pretty quick that staying warm starts with quality base layers from Carhartt.

 

What is your proudest fishing accomplishment?

Ratliff:Qualifying for the 2019 Bassmaster Classic, of course, but mostly that I get to have my family and friends there to share the experience and cheer me on.

 

What excites you most about competing in the Bassmaster Classic?

Ratliff:The fact this river system contains a lot of water really similar to what I’ve grown up fishing, and it’s only four hours from home. So again, I get to share it with the people I love most.


Stokes & Hogge Win Texas Team Trail Opener on Lake Travis with over 23 pound Limit

Courtesy of Texas Team Trail
JONESTOWN, Texas (March 2, 2019) — A key decision to forego the presumed seasonal pattern led to a runaway victory for Paul Stokes and David Hogge, who caught a 5-bass limit that weighed 23.84 pounds in the season opener of the 2019 Texas Team Trail, presented by Cabela’s, at Lake Travis.
While many of their competitors fished on or close to the bank, Hogge said he knew the 55-degree water temperature plus the week’s cold front had this Colorado River Impoundment chillier than normal for this time of the year. That, he said, put the brakes on the fish’s spawning movement.
“That’s why the fish were still hanging out in the prespawn areas,”Hogge said. “Most people were fishing the bank and trying to force-feed fish that had not moved up. Almost every boat we saw was fishing the bank; very few were out fishing deep.”
The winners fished the Pace Bend area and caught all of their fish on a ledge that dropped from 20 feet down to about 50. Most of their bites came in the 20- to 35-foot range. As Stokes explained, they had originally planned on looking shallow until a huge clue fell in their lap during practice.
“This was one of Dave’s old spots where he won a tournament back in 2001 when they were up spawning,”Stokes said. “As I was pulling in, I said ‘Dang Dave, there are tons of fish out here on the ledge. So, we went up and practiced shallow and when we didn’t catch anything, we came back out and fished that ledge. I caught an 8-pounder and a keeper and left.”
On tournament day, the spot delivered all of their weight fish, including a 7.66 that took Big Fish honors. Stokes and Hogge caught eight keepers out of 11 fish total. They had their limit by 10:30 and they wrapped up the winning sack two hours later.
“It was a 200-yard ledge and we worked it all,”Stokes said. “It was one here, one there. Three of them came pretty close together, but we worked the whole ledge. We caught one on one end of the ledge, one on the other and three kind of in the middle.”
Stokes and Hogge caught their fish on a Carolina rig with a 1-ounce weight and a full size Zoom Brush Hog in watermelon candy red, a 1/4-ounce Owner Shaky Head with a green pumpkin Grande Bass Rattle Snake worm and a 3/4-ounce Strike King football jig with a Zoom Baby Brush Hog in watermelon candy red.
“We just kept showing them different baits,” Hogge said. “We knew we were going to be there all day, so there was
The ledge had a mix of rocky edge and brush piles and both features produced bites. The shaky head proved most productive, but the winners employed a strategic tactic to draw attention to their baits.
“We were getting our baits hung in the rocks and popping them out, kind of like stroking a jig,” Stokes said. “Anytime we’d get hung in one of those rocks, instead of working it out, we’d pop it out. It was a reaction bite. We were trying to get stuck in those rocks so we could pop it out and get a reaction bite out of them.
“That’s how Dave caught the big fish on a Carolina rig. He was hung on a rock and stroked it out and the fish slammed it.”
Stokes said he and his partner fished clean —no lost fish. Hogge points diversified presentations as another important element.
“It was just showing them different baits all day long,” he said. “We knew we were going to spend all day in that one area, so there was no sense in throwing one bait all day long. We kept changing it up.”
For their efforts Stokes and Hogge earned a Triton TRX 189 with a 150 Mercury. In addition, they claimed $2,010 of Anglers Advantage cash. Their total payday, including $1,100 for Big Fish was $35,105.
Brossett-Allensecond
Making a key move late in the day delivered a big chunk of the second-place catch for Brandon Brossett and Kevin Allen who weighed in 17.81 pounds of Lake Travis bass. Their $7,224 prize included $1,474 in Anglers Advantage cash and a $250 Ranger Boats contingency bonus.
“We started in the back of a creek with flooded grass and willows on the edge of the creek channel,” Brossett said. “We threw wacky-rigged green pumpkin Zoom Trick Worms and caught two of our keepers.
“About 1, we decided to go to a rock that Kevin had found in the mouth of another creek about 6 miles away. We caught three more keepers there, including two 6-pounders.”
The two kickers were caught on a Yumbrella rig with Gambler EZ swimbaits — white on the outer positions, smoke in the center. Their other keeper bit a 3/16-ounce 6th Sense shaky head with a green pumpkin Zoom Trick worm.
Warren-Derrick third
Ryan Warren and Jason Derrick got their work done fairly early on Lake Travis and ended up taking a third-place sack of 17.47 pounds to the scales. Their day started at the lake’s upper end and on their stop, they visited an area of flooded bushes where they had caught a good fish last year in another event.
“We ended up catching a limit in there,” Warren said. “Pretty much everything we did was in there. We left and ran around the rest of the lake, but at the end of the day, it was
all done in one little cove. We had our weight by about 10 in the morning.”
Their top bait was a 3/8-ounce white/chartreuse spinnerbait with a big gold willow and a smaller gold Colorado blade. Given the cold water, they slow rolled their baits.
“We hadn’t been down here in a year, so we came into the event looking for prespawners,” Warren said. “We didn’t want to look for any beds because we didn’t want to spend time doing that and no be able to find them. We were catching most of out fish a few feet off the bank; just up there staging.”
For third place, Warren and Derrick earned $4,640, which included $1,340 in Anglers Advantage cash.
Barnes-Barnes fourth, Brinson-Brinson fifth
Adrian Barnes and Daniel Barnes weighed five bass worth 15.17 pounds, taking fourth place and earning $3,339.Behind them was Don Brinson and Beau Brinson with 14.86 pounds. For fifth place, they earned $2,655.

BOULDER CITY’S KLINGER WINS COSTA FLW SERIES ON LAKE MEAD PRESENTED BY RANGER BOATS

Klinger Earns Third Career Victory in FLW Competition, $32,778, Arizona’s Parks Takes Home New Ranger Boat as Co-Angler Champion

HENDERSON, Nev. (March 2, 2019) – Pro angler Tim Klinger of Boulder City, Nevada, brought the second-largest stringer of the entire tournament to the scale Saturday – a five-bass limit weighing 15 pounds, 4 ounces – to win the Costa FLW Series at Lake Mead presented by Ranger Boats. Klinger’s three-day total of 13 bass weighing 34 pounds, 12 ounces gave him the win by 4-pound, 12-ounce margin over second-place pro Lane Olson of Forest Grove, Oregon, and earned him the $32,778 prize in an exciting finale to the three-day event that kicked off the 2019 FLW Series Western Division season.

“The key for me this week was my confidence in my flipping,” said Klinger, who pushed his career earnings over the $600,000 mark in FLW competition. “I was born and raised on this lake, and I’m very comfortable fishing here.”

Klinger said he spent the first two days of the event flipping bushes in the Overton Arm of Lake Mead. He said that he caught four fish on the first day throwing a Beast Coast Tungsten Flipping jig with a Super Pork Bubba Frog trailer. On the second day, he switched to a Texas-rigged 4-inch green-pumpkin-colored craw and added another four keepers. On Day 3, the wind kept him closer to the takeoff so he spent the day in Boulder Basin, throwing a white ¾-ounce War Eagle spinnerbait, and caught 11 keepers, and the second-largest limit of the tournament.

“I caught a couple of smallmouth throughout the week, but all 13 of my keepers that made it to the scale were largemouth,” Klinger said. “All week long I was throwing my baits on a 7-foot, 6-inch, Taipan Rods Flipping Stick, with 20-pound fluorocarbon or 50-pound-test braided line.”

Klinger spent all three days of competition fishing shallow, and said that every fish he caught came between 2- and 9-feet-deep. The two-time FLW Cup qualifier was fishing in his 107th career event in FLW competition.

The top 10 pros on Lake Mead finished:

1st:          Tim Klinger, Boulder City, Nev., 13 bass, 34-12, $32,778

Louisiana Team Captures Bassmaster High School Open On Lake Hartwell

Tyler Jordan and Colby Badeaux of Live Oak High School, Watson, La., win the 2019 Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Eastern Open presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors at Lake Hartwell out of Anderson, S.C, with a total of 18 pounds, 15 ounces.

March 2, 2019

ANDERSON, S.C. — The teams of Colby Badeaux and Tyler Jordan from Live Oak High School in Watson, La., and Caz Anderson and Dean Crisler from the Chatuge Anglers in North Georgia each caught a five-bass limit Saturday that weighed 18 pounds, 5 ounces.

But Badeaux and Jordan walked away with the championship of the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Eastern Open presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors at Lake Hartwell. The reason: They had the biggest fish of the two teams by a mere 11 ounces.

The Louisiana duo had a 6-0 largemouth, while the biggest bass brought in by the Georgia team weighed 5-5.

“We came up here this past week and have been fishing all week,” Badeaux said.

That experience on the lake was no doubt important, considering Lake Hartwell is at full pool from the heavy rains that have pounded South Carolina recently, and it’s a very different fishery from what they’re used to seeing in Louisiana. When the Hartwell is high, it has a way of making the lake tougher — and those were exactly the conditions Badeaux and Jordan found during practice.

“We didn’t catch anything the first day,” Jordan said. “Tuesday and Wednesday we finally started finding fish and Thursday we found some really solid fish. We didn’t fish Friday because we didn’t want to hurt our fish.”

Laying off their best spots proved wise, as they put together a five-bass limit in just 20 minutes. They caught their fish on a white ChatterBait and a black-and-chartreuse crankbait.

“We were just trying to qualify for Nationals and wanted to go to the Classic again next year, and we got it done,” Badeaux said.

Anderson and Crisler also got off to an equally fast start, using a mud bug-colored Spro Rockcrawler crankbait to catch most of their fish, but the big largemouth hit a homemade green pumpkin jig that they skipped beneath pontoon boats.

“My third cast was about a 4 1/2-pounder,” Crisler said. “It was a pretty crazy way to start off the day.” Anderson said the pair fished a variety of conditions.

“We fished in both muddy and clear water, but the majority of our fish came in clean water, including our big bass and most of the spotted bass we weighed in,” Anderson said.

Junior Bassmaster Division

In addition to the 168 teams competing in the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Eastern Open, 26 two-angler teams battled it out on Lake Hartwell in the Junior Bassmaster event, which was open to youngsters in grades 2-8 who are affiliated with a B.A.S.S. Nation Junior Bassmaster chapter.

The Top 4 teams all had five-bass limits, and only 4 ounces separated the winners, Kaleb Butts and Luke McGuffin of CHS Anglers from the third-place team, from the all-girl team of Anna Kay and Elizabeth Pamphilon from Crescent Middle School, who finished third. Butts and McGuffin had 10-2 for first; Tommy Loughran and Nicholas Gavin of the Mecklenburg Country Youth Bass Masters caught 9-15 and finished second; and the Kay-Pamphilon team weighed in 9-14.

“I threw a shaky-head with a Zoom worm,” Butts said. After trying a moving bait for about 30 minutes, McGuffin added that he “picked up a Carolina rig and just grinded it out.” The team only had five bites all day, and they were able to boat all five fish.

Rounding out the Top 5 were Landon Bannister and Luke Rowland of Hart County Junior High Anglers, fourth with 9-5, and Brody Kellum and Carson Thompson of Franklin County Junior Bass, fifth.

UNA’s Calvert & Lane bust 29, Win FLW College event on Guntersville

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH ALABAMA WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT ON LAKE GUNTERSVILLE PRESENTED BY BASS PRO SHOPS

Link to photo of winning team University of North Alabama

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (March 4, 2019) – The University of North Alabama duo of Houston Calvert of Hayden, Alabama, and Justin Lane of Florence, Alabama, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Guntersville presented by Bass Pro Shops Friday with a five-bass limit weighing 29 pounds, 3 ounces. The victory earned the Lion’s bass club $2,400 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.

“We had three or four days of sunshine where it was 60 to 72 degrees, and I think a big wave was pushing up,” said Calvert, a senior majoring in marketing. “As you can tell, everybody found that. That’s the biggest weights I’ve seen in a college tournament. I really wanted it to be 30 pounds. I really thought we had 30. It was close, but maybe another time.”

“It’s just left me speechless, to be honest with you,” added Lane, a junior business management major. “It was one of those days you dream about. It’s just incredible that it happened in a tournament for us. That’s the biggest bag I’ve ever caught in my life.”

The warm spell Calvert described sort of fizzled by the tournament as a cold front brought lower temps and rain, which the team thinks caused some of the fish that were headed for the bank in practice to slide back out into hydrilla beds.

That’s where the Lions found their winning fish, targeting a single pocket all day long.

“We started out throwing a ChatterBait in grass in 6 to 8 feet,” Calvert said. “We probably had, I want to say, 12 pounds within 30 to 45 minutes of blast off. It rained there for two to three hours, and we just moved up on the bank with it raining. He [Lane] threw a Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm, and I threw the NetBait Big Bopper. We were swimming them around hydrilla.”

The shallower shift mostly produced smaller bass due to all the bucks up on the bank, so once the rain quit, Lane and Calvert slid back out. Lane added a solid 4-plus keeper with a Rat-L-Trap, and gradually the team chipped away at a nice limit.

What sealed the deal was a pair of kickers late in the afternoon that left Calvert and Lane with a limit comprised of one keeper close to 7 pounds, three 6-pounders and one about 4.

“We saw some shad running in the grass,” Calvert recalled. “We sat down and cut off our green pumpkin and black and blue ChatterBaits and tied on a white ChatterBait with a Keitech FAT on the back of it. Once we changed to white, right before weigh-in we culled two – big time. I know we culled at 2:15, and once we made that last cull we put everything up and went to the ramp.

“I think if the weather was going to be warm next week they would be spawning,” Calvert went on to say. “They want to spawn so bad. There are a lot of bucks up shallow. We probably caught, I would say, 30 fish. Probably 20 of those were 2-pounders. The other 10 were anywhere from 3 to 6 pounds. Pretty much everybody I talked to caught 30 to 40 fish.”

The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:

1st:           University of North Alabama – Houston Calvert, Hayden, Ala., and Justin Lane, Florence, Ala., five bass, 29-3, $2,400

The YETI FLW College Fishing event on Lake Guntersville presented by Bass Pro Shops was hosted by the Marshall County Convention and Visitors Bureau. It was the second of three regular-season qualifying tournaments for Southeastern Conference anglers. The next event for FLW College Fishing anglers will be the 2019 FLW College Fishing Open, March 12-13 at Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.

YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats. The Potomac River and Marbury, Maryland, will play host to the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship, June 4-6, 2019.

Coffey takes over the Lake Mead Costa Lead Heading into Final Day

Sean Coffey followed up a 14-pound, 1-ounce effort on day one with 11 pounds even Friday to take the lead at the Costa FLW Series Western Division opener on Lake Mead presented by Ranger Boats. Fishing was tough across the tournament field on day two, but Coffey found enough consistency to overtake previous leader Brett Leber.

Complete results

Coffey did what many other anglers haven’t been able to do so far this week: piece together decent days back-to-back. Changing weather conditions and boat pressure in the Overton Arm area – by far the most popular section of the lake for anglers to fish so far – slowed the bite considerably for much of the field. Apart from Coffey, Moab, Utah’s Benjamin Byrd has been most successful at finding consistency, turning in bags of 12-6 and 12-7 for a 24-13 total and second place.

“I got a little nervous,” Coffey admits. “I thought I wasn’t going to get a limit there for a little while. I went three hours without a bite and then it kicked on a little bit.”

Coffey ran the same patterns in the same areas on day two as he did on day one, but after catching his limit on Friday, he went running and “pre-fishing” for Saturday in search of new water he can try to exploit should he need it. There’s a good chance that new water is in the Overton Arm, where he’s spent his entire tournament so far.

Despite forecasts calling for storms and high winds tomorrow – and despite how long of a run it is from takeoff to Overton – the 27-year-old pro fully intends on getting back to those spots. As he put it Thursday and reiterated following day two weigh-in, “rough water is part of it.”

Coffey has a good deal of experience on Mead, so making a long run on day three isn’t an unusual move. He has several US Opens under his belt on the fishery, and although most of his experience at Mead has come in the fall, Coffey is confident in his ability to navigate the lake and the pattern he's on.

“It was the same thing for me today,” he explains. “The blade bite wasn’t that good, and I was banking on that. I had to slow down with Texas-rigged Senkos.”

The submerged cover Coffey has been fishing – trees, mostly – isn’t easy to find on Mead. It’s a deep, rocky fishery that lends itself well to finesse techniques. Slowing down might be what saved his chances at a victory this weekend, and he’s feeling pretty good about those chances right now – as long as he can get to his fish.

Changing weather conditions haven’t affected Coffey’s consistency so far, so there’s little reason to believe a little rain and wind will hurt him on day three. In fact, a little wind (or a lot) could be good for the spinnerbait bite he relied on for most of his fish on Thursday.

“It’s going to be really tough, but I laid off on them a bit when I got my limit today,” he says. “I feel confident they’ll be there tomorrow.”

PARKS CATAPULTS TO TOP OF CO-ANGLER LEADERBOARD

Co-angler Jesse Parks had a great day on Thursday. He bagged 10-9 on four fish and was sitting comfortably in fourth place heading into day two.

But as was the case on the pro side, consistency was key to his claiming the top spot with one day left to fish. Parks added three more fish for 9-4 and an impressive total of 19-13.

Parks definitely benefited from riding along with day one leader Brett Leber and Lane Olson (currently in seventh place), but he still had to catch them. For that, he opted for a slow, methodical approach he found in practice – a weightless, hand-poured worm.

Still, the changing weather conditions did give the 26-year-old some issues.

“I’m targeting some specific cover and it made it a lot more difficult to make a long cast because I couldn’t see it,” he explains. “The majority of my casts today were random until we got close enough to pitch to that cover.”

Parks credits one other tactic – a drop-shot –for a couple key smallmouths that put him over the top. He caught both late in the day, fishing slow and fishing patiently.

“The biggest thing is I think a lot of people aren’t paying attention to being patient,” he says. “I had two at 9:30 and didn’t catch another one until about 1:45.”

Leber Leads Day 1 of Lake Mead Costa Event

Courtesy of FLWfishing.com

 

Brett Leber, who calls the California Delta and Lake Berryesa his home lakes, is no stranger to shallow-water fishing. He played to his strengths on day one of the Costa FLW Series Western Division event presented by Ranger Boats by fishing 6 feet or less of water with reaction baits to weigh in 15 pounds, 12 ounces of fish.

Midday update story

Leber has fished several US Opens on Mead – including a fourth-place finish – and is comfortable, confident and pleased with his day-one performance. He’s been drawing from much of that experience on the massive clear-water fishery so far, even fishing many of the same spots he’s done well at in the past.

The 59-year-old Californian got on them in practice this week, which only served to boost his confidence heading into Thursday. He landed an 8-pounder and a 5-pounder in two key spots he fished on day one in practice. Those areas had slightly stained water and were holding fish just starting to move up for the spawn. On a lake like Mead, stained water is hard to come by, but the steady, strong winds seem to be helping in Leber’s cause.

His approach has been fairly simple so far: Find shallow, stained water, preferably with some vegetation such as tulies or grass, and rely on a swim jig and swimbait to entice a reaction bite. While many others are fishing slow with finesse tactics, it’s slow power-fishing that’s serving Leber well.

His swim jig of choice this week is a 3/8- or 1/2-ounce Strike King KVD swim jig with a Strike King Rage Tail Craw trailer, both in green pumpkin with some other accents. For swimbaits, he’s using a 3.8 and 4.8 Keitech Swing Impact FAT on an Owner head.

His plan to replicate success on day two? Do it all pretty much the same.

“I’m going to start at the same spot tomorrow, and if I don’t catch them by 11 [o’clock], I’m going to run to my other spot,” he says. “I laid off them in practice [at those spots].”

Despite having a late boat draw and having to break in his new Nitro Z21 during the practice period, Leber made the most of his first session on Mead. He has an early boat draw on Friday, and with his spots already singled out, he’ll have a chance to find out exactly how many fish are left for the rest of the tournament. If the weather holds, fish will likely continue to move up to spawn, giving Leber more chances to employ the shallow-water techniques that work so well on California’s shallow, grass-heavy fisheries.

Still, Mead is fishing tough so far, despite the 15-plus-pounds it afforded Leber on day one. He only caught six fish in total (and lost a couple), so getting some quality bites might once again come down to preparation, skill and a little luck. In Vegas, sometimes a little luck is all you can ask for.

ROMERO BAGS DOUBLE-DIGITS FOR SLIM LEAD

Ted Romero of Lakewood, Calif., can credit a lot of things for his co-angler lead following day one on Mead. It took skill to land 11 pounds, 15 ounces from the back of the boat. It took the right mentality and a good deal of perseverance, too.

But Romero doesn’t want to talk about that stuff. For him, it’s all about the pro he was paired with: Travis Archer.

“Travis is a great kid and a great boat driver,” he says. “We need more kids like him in FLW.”

Archer and Romero spent a lot of time hammering steep banks in just 5 feet of water. The co-angler leader caught his best fish on a spinnerbait and a Z-Man/Evergreen ChatterBait Jack Hammer, though he did employ a swimbait, a jig and a Storm Wiggle Wart crankbait at times as well.

Catching a lot of fish from the back of the boat is hard to do, and it’s even harder repeating that feat two days in a row. Romero knows it takes big adjustments and the ability to adapt to the conditions and boaters to make it happen.

“I just fish the conditions and adjust from there,” he says.

So far, so good.

MLF Bass Pro Tour Names Table Rock Lake Stage Six Stop

TULSA, Oklahoma (Feb. 27, 2019) - Major League Fishing® (MLF) announced today that Missouri's majestic Table Rock Lake, located in the heart of the Ozarks at the city of Branson, will be hosting the 2019 MLF Bass Pro Tour's Stage Six event, May 17-22, 2019.

The popular tourist destination community and the big 67-square-miles reservoir are both well known for their angler hospitality and serving up a quality bass tournament experience for participants and spectators alike.

Most of the 80 pros in the event have fished on Table Rock before, but this will be their first time as competitors in the newly formed Bass Pro Tour and as the first bass anglers to achieve professional status in the sport's league that requires no tournament entry fee for competitions.

"Major League Fishing is showing professional competitive fishing in the same manner that Americans see other sport organizations, such as the NFL, MLB, PGA, NASCAR, etc.," said Jeff Seifried, President/CEO, Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and CVB. "Branson is excited to host these great anglers on our pristine lake."

"Table Rock Lake has it all - largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass - and some of the most beautiful scenery in America," said Michael Mulone, Senior Director of Events & Partnerships for Major League Fishing. "Branson is a fantastic destination known for reeling in tourists and we are looking forward to highlighting "The Rock" to a national audience."

Table Rock Lake, impounded by Table Rock Dam, is a favorite for casual and professional anglers alike and will host Stage Six of the Bass Pro Tour in late May.

Nestled in the Ozarks and close to nearby Branson, Table Rock Lake attracts thousands of visitors every year.

The region's extreme geography also calls for league officials to manage where anglers can fish due to MLF's stringent connectivity requirements because MLF NOW! live stream and SCORETRACKER™ are critical components of the event's execution and coverage.

Anglers' catches are immediately weighed, recorded and released back into the water, with the information being shared real-time via SCORETRACKER™ devices on every boat so that all competitors know where they stand and for the league to be able to keep the viewing public informed.

Bass Pro Tour events feature seven hours of live-stream coverage on MLF NOW! during each competition day, with free access available at www.majorleaguefishing.com.

Table Rock Lake in Missouri's Ozark Mountains is also the birthplace of the event's title sponsor, Bass Pro Shops, with its flagship National Headquarters store located in nearby Springfield, Missouri. Bass Pro Shops also operates Big Cedar Lodge, located on the banks of Table Rock Lake. Additional activities are planned for both locations as part of the event, with more details to follow in the coming weeks.

"Competing in the backyard of a major sponsor will allow interaction with employees, anglers, and the fans," Mulone added.

The Table Rock tour event will result in a two-hour television show that will air on Discovery Channel in the fourth quarter of 2019. It will repeat on Sportsman Channel in first and second quarters 2020.

MLF also has programming on Outdoor Channel, World Fishing Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network and Discovery Channel, and all episodes are available on-demand on My Outdoor TV (MOTV).

SEAGUAR BASS PROS HEAD TO THE BASSMASTER CLASSIC

Anglers share thoughts on the event, including tactics and more

Louisville, KY (February 26, 2019): The countdown has begun to the biggest event in bass fishing—the upcoming Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River in Knoxville, Tennessee, March 15-17.

With that, Seaguar is proud to announce eight of their bass pro roster will be fishing the Super Bowl of bass fishing, including Clifford Pirch, Chris Zaldain, Drew Benton, Mark Daniels Jr., James Elam, Brandon Palaniuk, Bradley Roy, and Jesse Wiggins.

So how do the pros think the event is going to play out? First of all, Seaguar pro Chris Zaldain points out the critical nature of water clarity.

“Given the time of year and the fact that the area is fairly mountainous with sheer bluff walls, rock ledges, and there’s a lot of water that flows through the Tennessee River area, I think the approach technique-wise is going to have to do with water clarity and flow. I’ve been fishing the area for eight years on the Elite Series, and that’s always been a factor. Is there going to be rain water, mud, and stained water rolling down the river? Or, are we going to have lower flows and clear weater? I think that will be the first thing that anglers will have to take into consideration,” says Seaguar pro Chris Zaldain.

Water clarity into account, Zaldain plans to fish a host of different techniques, which he’s quite open about sharing, despite the competitive nature of the event.

Seaguar pros expect new Stealth Gray Smackdown braid to play a major role in the Classic.

“I will be equipped with your traditional first spawn techniques like square bill crankbaits and spinnerbaits. But the thing about the Classic is you’re going for the win, not second place. That said, my specialty happens to be a big fish technique and that’s swimbaits. We all know that spinnerbaits and crankbaits – your shad-imitating moving baits – work really well in March along the Tennessee River. So, I like to throw a little twist on that, so instead of a spinnerbait, I’ll pick up a swimbait. That’s just something I like to do whether it’s a finesse swimbait or what I like to call a tournament-size swimbait, like a six-incher, which gets a lot of bites and catches big fish. I’ll also be equipped with an eight-inch swimbait for those really big bites. You’re not going to catch a limit on it, but if you get one or two bites that could definitely help you win the Classic at the end of the week. Traditional moving baits and swimbaits rigged, then it’s all about location. It’s a large body of water with two different lakes we can fish, so mileage-wise you could run the gas out of your boat if you wanted to. They’re going to give us three whole days of practice, and it’s going to come down to covering water and throwing those confidence lures you think you can win with and just eliminating water. From what I gather a 20-pound bag is a big bag on the Tennessee River. There will be lots of three- and four-pound fish, not the Texas five-, six-, seven-, and eight-pounders. There will be a couple of big ones caught but we’re looking for the three-day long haul – a steady diet of three- to four-pounders.”

Seaguar pro Mark Daniels Jr. (Photo courtesy of Bassmaster)

In terms of his preferred line, Zaldain is a big fan of fluorocarbon and will rely heavily on Seaguar InvizX even if the water is muddy.

“With those confidence baits that I mentioned, like swimbaits, I’m fishing 15-pound Seaguar InvizX. I go through miles of that stuff a year. And I will have at least six rods spooled with 15-pound Seaguar InvizX—it’s the most versatile line diameter available. I call it my reaction bait line. It’s strong, it can handle the big baits, and it’s so soft and supple.  I can throw swimbaits on it; I can throw squarebills on it; and I can throw spinnerbaits on it. I can also throw finesse jigs on it .it’s just a great all-around line. So, I’ll have at six rods and reels rigged up with it and an array of different squarebills, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and swimbaits – primarily shad imitators,” says Zaldain.

Seaguar pro Brand Palaniuk (Photo courtesy of Bassmaster)

He continues: “For the big shallow-water stuff, I don’t care if the water is clear or muddy from the rain, my flipping sticks are all rigged with 20 and 25 pound Seaguar Flippin’ Fluorocarbon.

Whenvever I’m flipping hard target shallow I love Seaguar Flippin’ Fluorocarbon. And the reason I’m going to choose fluorocarbon instead of braid is simply because I’m fishing hard targets—shallow-water hard targets, not lots of grass like you’d find in Florida where you need a braid like Seaguar Low-Vis Stealth Gray Smackdown. I’ll be flipping docks, rocks, laydowns on the Tennessee River. There’s a little bit of stretch there and just the circular diameter of that line helps bounce off hard targets a lot better than a braid will. Everything’s just smoother and every hookset I make there’s a little bit of give there. In terms of baits, I’ll probably be fishing a 1/2-ounce Santone Rattlin’ Jig or an old-school tube. I know that in the state of Tennessee vflipping an old school tube works extremely well.”

Seaguar pro Clifford Pirch (Photo courtesy of Bassmaster)

Seaguar bass pro Clifford Pirch is also looking forward to the upcoming Classic. He’s also concerned with what he’ll find in terms of water clarity.

“We’re probably going to be dealing with off-color water and there’s lots of rain coming down, so the muddy and high-water conditions are going to mean things like moving baits and heavier power fishing tackle. Along those lines, I’ll probably be looking at a lot of 15- and 20-pound Seaguar InvizXand some Seaguar Tatsu on a jig, stuff like that. On most of my power fishing baits I’ll be running 15 to 20 pound InvizX.”

As far as flipping, if it’s muddy as anticipated, Pirch plans to use straight 65-pound Smackdown Low-Vis Smackdown Stealth Gray braid. “But if there’s much clarity at all, I also tie on a 20- or 25-pound Tatsu Flourocarbon leader to the Smackdown.”

Seaguar pro James Elam (Photo courtesy of Bassmaster)

Having recently put Seaguar Low-Vis Smackdown Stealth Gray to the test at Elite events in Florida and Georgia, Pirch is extremely pleased with how the line has fished. “It’s the same Smackdown I’ve always liked with the small diameter, supple and long casting qualities, plus the additional camouflage features.”

Like Zaldain, Pirch is excited to compete for the Bassmaster Classic win and is already preparing his gear and mindset for that goal. “I’m real excited to spend the next couple of weeks getting prepared for the Classic and have had a couple of decent events in to start the season, so I’m really looking forward to it.”

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Clent Davis to Represent Coosa Cotton Clothing in 2019

Montevallo, Ala. – February 25, 2019 – Bassmaster Elite Series pro, Clent Davis, the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup Champion, and 2012 FLW Tour Rookie of the Year will become the first national pro staffer for Coosa Cotton, a lifestyle clothing brand from Birmingham, Ala.

 

Davis has been aware of the brand since its inception, largely because it brings recognition to the waterways he fished as kid, and those who gave birth to his love of competitive fishing; and his career.  As a part of the agreement, Davis will be wearing the brand’s clothing off the water, and displaying the logo on his boat and truck, as well as on his head during competition.

 

Davis said he’s proud of where he comes from, and what the Coosa River means to him, so it was a no brainer to partner with the brand.  “I love the Coosa River; have since I was a kid fishing on Lay Lake, Lake Mitchell and Logan Martin,” he said.  “The designs of the clothing bring back memories, and the product itself is really comfortable; it’s like wearing home with me wherever I go, and I love that; I’m proud to wear this brand.”

 

Graham Davis – no relation to his new pro staffer – said that sponsoring Davis was an easy choice.  “Clent absolutely bleeds Alabama, and the heartbeat of the Coosa River is within him, so he fits Coosa Cotton,” said Coosa Cotton Founder Davis.  “He is a local hammer, and a really good dude, who will bring our brand tremendous recognition; working with him was a no brainer.”

 

Davis said that he founded the company to help Alabama’s love for bass angling to represent the passion of anglers across the country.  “The Coosa River is truly the center of the State of Alabama, and the main artery for bass fishing here; we wanted our brand to represent that,” he said.  “Bass anglers as a whole understand that passion, and our fish, and the companies built around it have melded with the country; this brand resonates with anglers everywhere because of it, and Clent will be the face of that visibility.”

 

About Clent Davis – Clent Davis is a former college angler for the University of Montevallo, who turned his love into a career on the professional tours.  He is a Bassmaster Elite Series pro who began his career on the FLW Tour in 2012; earning the Rookie of the Year Title.  In 2018, he won the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Ark.  He is sponsored by Yozuri, Mister Twister, Nichols Lures, Phenix Rods, Phoenix Boats, Evinrude, Cuda, T-H Marine, Costa, Lowrance, Gemini / G2, Cal Coast Fishing and Coosa Cotton.  Visit him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clentdavisfishing/ and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/clent.davis/, and follow him on the 2019 Bassmaster Elite Series.

EAST TEXAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY WINS YETI FLW COLLEGE FISHING SOUTHERN CONFERENCE OPENER ON SAM RAYBURN

LUFKIN, Texas (Feb. 25, 2019) – The East Texas Baptist University duo of Brett Clark of Center, Texas, and Cody Ross of Livingston, Texas, won the YETI FLW College Fishing event on Sam Rayburn Friday with a five-bass limit weighing 24 pounds, 4 ounces. The victory earned the Tiger’s bass club $2,400 and a slot in the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship.

The duo said that they fished north of the bridge on Sam Rayburn, catching their bass on Carolina rigs.

“Our fish were sitting on an old road bed,” said Clark, a junior majoring in business administration. “We had found it in practice. The bass were prespawn, sitting in 8 to 10 feet of water, and they were moving in as we were catching them.”

“Most of our fish came from that one spot – literally two casts, over and over,” said Ross, a freshman majoring in business. “We started out throwing moving baits, but only managed to get one bite. Once we switched to the Carolina rig and slowed down it was like someone turned on the switch. We probably caught 40 to 50 fish throughout the day.”

The duo said that they threw two baits on the Carolina rigs – a black and blue-colored V&M Chopstick and a watermelon candy-colored V&M Baby Swamp Hog.

“I think the key for us was our Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor,” said Clark. “The wind came up during the day, and the Ultrex kept us in one spot and allowed us to weed through the little fish and just keep upgrading.”

The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:

1st:          East Texas Baptist University – Brett Clark, Center, Texas, and Cody Ross, Livingston, Texas, five bass, 24-4, $2,400

2nd:         East Texas Baptist University – Mason Beatty, Longview, Texas, and Jacob Keith, Jefferson, Texas, five bass, 22-0, $1,200

3rd:         Stephen F. Austin State University – Christopher Harrison, Allen, Texas, and Ethan Legare, Lucas, Texas, five bass, 19-4, $500

4th:         Sam Houston State University – Bryton Kurtz, Magnolia, Texas, and Jackson Carrell, Anderson, Texas, five bass, 18-11, $500

5th:         Stephen F. Austin State University – Cooper Thor and Cade Rudiger, both of Mansfield, Texas, five bass, 18-11, $500

6th:         Tarleton State University – Nick Prestwood, Stephenville, Texas, and Jacob David, Pilot Point, Texas, five bass, 18-2

7th:         Oklahoma State University – Jake Swanson, Eufaula, Okla., and Garrett Brown, Broken Arrow, Okla., five bass, 18-0

8th:         Sam Houston State University – Dillon Harrell, New Caney, Texas, and Colby Bryant, Houston, Texas, five bass, 17-8

9th:         Texas A&M University – Garrison Thomas, Keller, Texas, and Tyler Anderson, Austin, Texas, five bass, 17-3

10th:       Tarleton State University – Trent Stafford and Justin Tatum, both of Belton, Texas, five bass, 16-9

FLW also advances one additional team to the National Championship for every 10 teams over 100 that compete. A total of 122 teams participated in this event, so also advancing to the 2020 College Fishing National Championship are:

11th:       Stephen F. Austin State University – Marc Ameringer, Cypress, Texas, and Cody Barchenger, Taylor, Texas, five bass, 16-1

12th:       Sam Houston State University – Matthew Sewell, Tomball, Texas, and Joshua Perrin, Houston, Texas, five bass, 15-13

Complete results for the entire field can be found at FLWFishing.com.

The YETI FLW College Fishing event on Sam Rayburn Reservoir was hosted by the Lufkin Convention and Visitors Bureau. It was the first of three regular-season qualifying tournament for Southern Conference anglers. The next event for FLW College Fishing anglers will be the Western Conference opener, March 2 at Lake Mead in Las Vegas, Nevada.

YETI FLW College Fishing teams compete in three regular-season qualifying tournaments in one of five conferences – Central, Northern, Southern, Southeastern and Western. All participants must be registered, full-time students at a college, university or community college and members of a college fishing club that is recognized by their school. The top 10 teams from each division’s three regular-season tournaments and the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open will advance to the 2020 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Additional teams will qualify for the National Championship if the field size in regular-season events exceeds 100 boats. The Potomac River and Marbury, Maryland, will play host to the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship, June 4-6, 2019.

ORELLANA WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OPENER ON LAKE NORMAN PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS

Co-angler Title Awarded to Newton’s Goble

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 25, 2019) – Local angler Carson Orellana of Mooresville, caught five bass Saturday weighing 15 pounds even to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) North Carolina Division opener on Lake Norman presented by Navionics. For his win, Orellana took home $4,209.

Orellana said he split his day between the upper and lower ends of Lake Norman, catching seven or eight keepers in the process.

“I started out fishing rocks in the morning, on the upper side of the lake, in dingy water. The water levels were up and I used moving baits,” said Orellana, who notched his first career victory in FLW competition. “I caught one that I weighed from the bank around rocks. After that, the wind picked up so I chased it. It’s a wind-driven lake.

“I headed to the lower side of the lake because it’s more wide open. I fished prespawn areas in the creeks – they were pretty much wind-blown banks,” continued Orellana. “I used C-Maps on my Lowrance electronics to find some of the steeper banks. There were banks that had a foot or so of water on them, and they didn’t seem to be as good as the ones that had 5- to 6-feet of water right off them.”

Orellana said he ended up weighing four from areas around docks with rocks. He used a ½-ounce Phatback Blue-colored TrueSouth Custom Lures Pro Shimmy Jig with a green-pumpkin-colored Zoom Fat Albert Twin Tail Grub.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Carson Orellana, Mooresville, N.C., five bass, 15-0, $4,209

2nd:         Dylan Fulk, Charlotte, N.C., five bass, 14-15, $2,105

3rd:          Jody Wright, Ellenboro, N.C., five bass, 14-10, $1,336

4th:          Chris Dover, Blacksburg, S.C., five bass, 14-4, $1,485

5th:          Hank Cherry, Lincolnton, N.C., five bass, 14-2, $802

6th:          Michael Stephens , Gastonia, N.C., five bass, 12-10, $735

7th:          Scott Hamrick, Denver, N.C., five bass, 11-11, $668

8th:          Jonathan Foster, Maiden, N.C., five bass, 11-2, $601

9th:          Richard Phillips, Asheville, N.C., five bass, 11-1, $535

10th:        Drew Montgomery, Maiden, N.C., five bass, 10-15, $468

Dover caught a 4-pound, 13-ounce bass – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division – and earned the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $550.

Josea Goble of Newton, North Carolina, won the Co-angler Division and $2,005 Saturday after catching four bass weighing 10 pounds, 12 ounces.

9th:          Michael Hartsfield Sr., Zebulon, N.C., two bass, 6-11, $250

9th:          Dwayne Parton, Anderson, S.C., three bass, 6-11, $250

Jeter caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 5 pounds, 2 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $275.

The tournament was hosted by the Mooresville Convention & Visitors Bureau.

WAGNER WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL MOUNTAIN DIVISION OPENER ON DALE HOLLOW LAKE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS

Jamestown’s Arms Takes Co-angler Title

BYRDSTOWN, Tenn. (Feb. 25, 2019) – Boater Adam Wagner of Cookeville, Tennessee, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 17 pounds even to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Mountain Division opener on Dale Hollow Lake presented by Navionics. Wagner pocketed $4,363 for his efforts.

“I caught them running up to the ends of the creeks. I was targeting the last cover where the runoff was coming off the hills,” said Wagner, who earned his 11th career victory in BFL competition – tied for third most all-time. “They were in the current where the water was hitting the lake and that’s where I caught them – as shallow as I could get.”

Wagner said he caught seven keepers throughout the day. The fish he weighed came from a 5/8-ounce Missouri Craw-colored D&L Tackle flipping jig with a green-pumpkin-colored Zoom Super Chunk trailer.

“I was in Eagle Creek up lake, and stayed in there, but I probably hit five different little arms off of it,” said Wagner. “It was about finding the warmest water. The water was 52 to 54 degrees where I caught them Saturday, but in practice, in those general areas, the run offs were 48 to 50 degrees and the fish weren’t there, so you had to find the warmest water.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Adam Wagner, Cookeville, Tenn., five bass, 17-0, $4,363

2nd:         Kris Kordenbrock, Covington, Ky., five bass, 16-6, $2,182

3rd:          Greg Perry, Lost Creek, W. Va., five bass, 15-14, $1,387

4th:          Tony Eckler, Lebanon, Tenn., five bass, 15-6, $971

5th:          Mark Kirby, Gallatin, Tenn., four bass, 13-3, $1,123

6th:          Sean Wieda, Florence, Ky., five bass, 12-15, $763

7th:          Tim Staley, Dowelltown, Tenn., five bass, 12-2, $694

8th:          Tim Smiley, White Pine, Tenn., five bass, 11-8, $925

9th:          Chip Chambers, Elizabethton, Tenn., five bass, 10-9, $555

WINDER’S DAVIS WINS T-H MARINE FLW BFL BULLDOG DIVISION OPENER ON LAKE LANIER

 

Co-angler Title Goes to Covington’s Smith

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (Feb. 25, 2019) – Boater Brad Davis of Winder, Georgia, caught five bass weighing 16 pounds, 5 ounces, Saturday to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Bulldog Division opener on Lake Lanier. For his win, Davis earned $5,014.

“I fished areas that have produced bigger spotted bass for me in the past. Lake Lanier is my home lake – I grew about 20 minutes away,” said Davis, who earned his first career victory in FLW competition. “I felt like the spotted bass bite would be more consistent with the cold front that was moving in. I focused all of my time on the south end of the lake because the water color on the north end was too stained.”

Davis only had five bites all day – four from points in the Old Federal Campground area, and the fifth from a spawning flat between Young Deer and Six Mile creeks. His said three came within the first hour on an Owner shaky-head rig with a 4-inch green-pumpkin-colored Yamamoto Senko.

“The first three came off of one point. I’ve had a lot of success with a Senko on it – it’s a lure with a bigger profile that appeals to the bigger fish,” said Davis. “I wanted to focus on main-lake points and stay as close to the main lake as possible. I didn’t want to run into any creeks, even on the south end, I just wanted to be as close to deep water as I could – literally right off the channel.”

From there, Davis said he went looking for points with the steepest drops he could find, catching his fourth with a 3/8-ounce green-pumpkin Gene Larew Biffle Hardhead jig with a Missile Baits Baby D Stroyer.

“I wasn’t fishing for a lot of bites out there – I was going for the right ones,” said Davis. “I fished really slow for the most part, and had really subtle bites. My Kissel Krafts Custom rods allowed me to feel the bites in the deep, cold water, which was key.”

Davis’ fifth fish from the spawning flat off of the main lake came on a Pro Blue-colored Megabass Ito Vision Jerkbait.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Brad Davis, Winder, Ga., five bass, 16-5, $5,014

2nd:         Rob Jordan, Flowery Branch, Ga., five bass, 16-3, $2,707

3rd:          Johnathan Akins, Lula, Ga., five bass, 15-14, $1,670

4th:          Kip Carter, Mansfield, Ga., five bass, 15-7, $1,570

5th:          Jason Johnson, Dawsonville, Ga., five bass, 15-0, $1,003

6th:          Stephen Barday, Acworth, Ga., five bass, 14-13, $1,684

7th:          Danny Hall, Ellijay, Ga., five bass, 14-12, $836

8th:          Robert Williams, Lawrenceville, Ga., five bass, 14-3, $752

Andrews Wins ABA Florida Central Open Event on Kissimmee Chain with over 26 pounds!

ATHENS, Ala. – Eric Andrews of Davenport, FL won the Bass Pro Shops Open Series Florida Central tournament, held February 23rd on the Kissimmee Chain. Running out of Camp Mack, Guy Harvey Resort in Lake Wales, FL Andrews caught five bass weighing 26.71 pounds. For the Boater Division victory, took home a check for $5700 for his win.

“I caught my fish on a chatter-bait and a speed worm in the north cove. I was fishing hydrilla in 5ft of water. Lots of chunking and winding, just like I like to catch them. My two fish over 8-pounds came later in the day within the last 40 minutes. I knew they were there and just kept fishing the area. This is only my second event as a boater and it feels good to win from the front of the boat,” said Andrews.

In second for the boaters, Billy “Sam” Carroll of Tavares, FL landed a five-bass tournament limit going 24.97-pounds.

“I caught most of my fish in the middle of Lake Kissimmee on a shell bed. We started off Carolina-rigging and my first cast was a 5-pounder. I lost a 7-pounder right at the boat on a jerk-bait that would have pushed me over the 30-pound mark,” Carroll said.

Jeremy Smith of Plant City, FL took third for the boaters with five bass going 23.11-pounds.

“I caught my fish today on Lake Toho fishing hydrilla in 6ft to 8ft of water. I was throwing a Gambler 10” ribbon-tail worm really slow. The fish were spawning in that area and I caught several buck bass there,” Smith said.

Finishing fourth, Terry Oliver of Belleview, FL landed a five-bass limit for 22.85-pounds. Austin Schroeder of Zephyrhills, FL rounded out the top five boaters with five bass at 22.67-pounds.

The biggest bass for the boaters was caught by Jason Brewer of Dundee, FL that weighed 8.90-pounds and pocketed $1140 for that catch.

“I caught that fish flipping a Missile Baits D-bomb on the north end of the lake,” Brewer said.

In the Co-Angler Division, Peter “Pete” Burns of Davenport, FL won with three bass going 18.98-pounds that included a 10.98-pound big bass. He pocketed a check for $2000 for his win and an additional $500 for the big bass.

“That big bass came early in the morning. We were fishing tiger lake and I was pitching a senko into Kissimmee grass. I had just caught a 5-pound mudfish. I wasn’t sure I had a bite until I saw the line go sideways. My other good fish came on a speed worm. That is the biggest fish that I have ever caught, my previous record was a 9-pounder,” Burns said.

Taking second for the co-anglers, Thomas Rutkowski of Hernando, FL brought in a three-bass division limit weighing 15.05-pounds.

“We were fishing on the south end of Kissimmee and fished three different areas of Lake Kissimmee. I caught my first 5-pounder within the first half hour on a Zoom magnum speed worm. We probably caught 40 fish today. I want to thank my boater, Ray Trudeau, for putting me on the fish today,” Rutkowski said.

Char “Chuck” Rodriguez of Clermont, FL placed third among the co-anglers with three bass going 15.01-pounds.

“I fished with Billy “Sam” Carroll today. He had us on the fish from the moment we stopped. After he caught his first fish, I caught my first fish and it was non-stop for a while. We were in about 5ft of water and it broke off to a shell bed in 9ft of water and I was Carolina-rigging and Texas-rigging worms. At the end of the day I broke my rod on probably a 6-pounder. That would’ve helped me possibly win this event,” Rodriguez said.

In fourth place among the co-anglers, Wayne Roberts of Sarasota, FL brought in three bass for 12.98-pounds. Jeff Stone of Jackson, GA finished in fifth place with three bass at 12.64-pounds.

Slated for April 13th , the next tournament will be held on the Harris Chain out of Hickory Point Recreational Facility in Tavares, FL. At the end of the season, the best anglers from across the nation advance the 2020 Ray Scott Championship to be held at Lake Hartwell in April, 2020.


MIKE JOHNSON & BYRON ALBRECHT WEIGH-IN OVER 22LBS ON WHITNEY AND TAKE HOME $5,000


Tim Griffith and David Eyrse Win 2019 Alabama Bass Trail Smith Lake with over 19 pounds!


by Dan O’Sullivan

February 24, 2019 – Jasper, Ala. – The first event of the 2019 Alabama Bass Trail’s Northern Division was marked by several things. Most notably, the necessary decision by tournament officials to push the tournament from Saturday to Sunday due to severe weather that was to hit the area; but also by the extreme flood conditions that saw the surface of Lewis Smith Lake nearly 20 feet in little more than a week.

However, if there was a theme to the day, it would be running water.

That theme referred to the amount of water running into Smith Lake, the water running over the launch ramps and into the parking lot causing anglers, ABT officials and Jasper, Alabama officials extra factors to consider, and the running water pockets that seemed to be a consistent theme amongst those teams that did well in the event.

In the end, while there were difficulties that faced everyone, the event came off smoothly and the team of Tim Griffith and David Eyrse found a single running water pocket that produced a multitude of keepers. Those keepers in turn produced a final limit that weighed 19.19 pounds that gave them a victory, and earned them the $10,000 Winner's prize and an automatic berth into the Alabama Bass Trail championship in October on Lake Guntersville.

The pair said that they had a terrible practice, and the day before the tournament ended up looking at a map of Smith Lake, settling on an area in Rock Creek that looked good, and choosing something that they felt they could catch fish on. "We only caught one weighable fish in practice and a bunch of slot fish so we decided to just go fishing," they said. "We found a creek that had clear water running in the back for about 50 yards before it mixed with the dirty water; we caught our fish there."

They reported catching their fish on several baits, but one lure really made the biggest difference. "The best of our fish came on a screw lock Shaky Head with half of a Senko as the lure,” they said. “We rigged it weedless, that way we could work it through any of the cover we came across.  We sat in that one spot all day long and caught more than 60 keepers, culling through four or five limits before settling on our final limit around 4:00 p.m., we had a magical day it feels great to win and to be qualified for the championship already.”

The local team of Mark Meyer and Ty Campbell said that they spent their time up near Cullman and they used a football head jig and green pumpkin / chartreuse Gene Larew Biffle Bug creature bait combo and a Shaky Head Finesse worm to produce their 18.62-pound limit but earned them second place and the $5,000 runner-up prize.

“We're from Cullman, so we kind of knew that we would need to look for running water and we found our fish in two pockets today,” they said.  “We spent our day in those two pockets and were able to catch enough fish to do well, we just needed to be able to put one more good quality kicker fish in the Box to have a chance to win. But, we started off the season well and we're pleased with the finish.”

The team of Jamie Smith and Michael Rains weighed 17.13 pounds to finish the day and third place, they earned $4,000 for their efforts.

The Mountain Dew Big Bass of the tournament went to the 111th place team of Aaron and James Knott, their 4.81-pounder earned them $500 for the big bass bonus.

The Norhern Division of the Alabama Bass Trail hits the water next at Wheeler Lake on March 23.

Jacksonville State Pair Makes Most Of Limited Bites To Win Bassmaster College Event On Lake Norman

William Nichols and Jamon Phillips of Jacksonville State University win the 2019 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Tour at Lake Norman presented by Bass Pro Shops out of  Charlotte, N.C, with a three-day total of 37 pounds, 15 ounces.

CORNELIUS, N.C. — Six bites was all it took for Will Nichols and Jamon Phillips of Jacksonville State University to vault from 10th place to the top of the standings in today’s final round of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series tournament presented by Bass Pro Shops.

Nichols and Phillips weighed a limit of five bass that totaled 16 pounds, 2 ounces — the second heaviest of the three-day tournament. That gave them an overall three-day weight of 37-15 and put them into the hot seats with nine of the 12 duos fishing in the final round still waiting to weigh.

One by one, those teams crossed the stage, but all made quick exits. It was only after Day 2 leaders Jacob Moore and Gilliam Tharpe of North Carolina State presented a bag that contained only two bass that Nichols and Phillips broke into wide smiles and breathed heavy sighs of relief.

Even after they hoisted their tournament trophies into the air, Nichols and Phillips struggled to put their victory into perspective. It’s not often, after all, that a team has only six keeper bites and manages to jump nine spots in the standings to clinch victory.

The JSU duo made up more than 5 pounds on Saturday after starting the day with a two-day total of 21-13. Their catch throughout the week consisted mostly of spotted bass, but the ones they caught Saturday averaged more than 3 pounds apiece, which helped them sneak from behind for the win.

“It still hasn’t sunk in what just happened,” said Phillips, who was competing in his first Bassmaster College Series tournament. “This is an amazing feeling.”

The win for Jacksonville State, which is located in Jacksonville, Ala., was far from conventional. Nichols and Phillips caught only four bass during Thursday’s opening round for a 6-8 total. That forced them to try new things Friday, and it paid off.

“We had to swing for the fences,” Nichols said. “It was either that or we were going home. We got onto something that afternoon that changed things for us.”

That “something” was a pattern that required them to fish stained water in the backs of oxbows and dead-end canals scattered around Lake Norman. They fished primarily with crankbaits the final two days, though they alternated by flipping jigs to structure, including rocks, grass and docks along the shorelines.

Philips had the hot hand on Friday, when red crankbaits produced keeper bites in 2 to 10 feet of water. On Saturday, the backs of canals were active again, and the spotted bass were hungry early. Nichols said chartreuse-colored lures were key on Day 3.

The region was beset by steady rain and temperatures that hovered in the 40s throughout the tournament. The less-than-ideal conditions were hard on anglers, but they didn’t have a significant effect on the bass bite, especially for teams that were flexible.

“It was hard to figure out any sort of pattern,” said Nichols, who has competed in Bassmaster College Series events for three years. “Things changed constantly. We had to do a little bit of everything and cover a whole lot of water to catch the bass we caught.”

Nichols and Phillips won $2,500 for the Jacksonville State bass fishing team. The 12 tandems that made the Top 12 cut to fish on Championship Saturday split a total of $8,500 for their respective squads.
Jacob Louis and Nathan Doty of McKendree University in Tennessee finished second with 35-13, and Benjamin Hager and Noah Shaver of  UNC-Charlotte placed third with 34-15.

Moore and Tharpe of NC State won the Carhartt Big Bass Award with a 6-13 largemouth they weighed on Thursday. The catch earned them a $500 Carhartt gift card. Seventh-place anglers Chandlar Ellis and Gil Seen of Lander University in South Carolina won a $250 Bass Pros Shops gift certificate for having a 16-1 bag on Day 1 that ranked as the heaviest bag of the tournament.

In all, 256 teams from around the United States entered. The Top 26 duos (10 percent of the field) earned berths in the Carhartt Bassmaster College Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops, which will be held later this year at a yet-to-be-disclosed fishery.

The tournament on Lake Norman was the first of four regular season Bassmaster College Series events scheduled for 2019. It was sponsored by Visit Lake Norman, Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte.
Other Bassmaster College Series tournaments will take place on Alabama’s Smith Lake on March 21-23, Arkansas’ Bull Shoals Lake on April 25-27, and the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York on June 19-21.

‘Best Day’ Lifts Darold Gleason To Victory In Bassmaster Open At Toledo Bend

Darold Gleason of Many, La., wins the 2019 BassPro.com Central Open on Toledo Bend, out of Many, La., with a two-day total weight of 40 pounds, 2 ounces.

Feb. 22, 2019MANY, La. —A big shift in weather conditions and the kindness of a fellow competitor opened the door for local favorite Darold Gleason to show off his home lake’s potential with a 25-pound, 3-ounce catch that yielded a tournament total of 40-2 and delivered a long-awaited win at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Open on Toledo Bend Reservoir.

After fierce thunderstorms cancelled Thursday’s scheduled second day of competition, the full field competed in today’s final round. Although the forecast called for more storms, Toledo Bend saw a foggy and relatively calm day that contrasted starkly with the more challenging conditions the Many, La., angler faced on Day 1.

“This is probably the best day of tournament fishing I’ve had out here,” said Gleason, who runs South Toledo Bend Guide Service. “Toledo Bend is one of the best lakes in the country. It’s fishing kind of tough right now with these cold conditions, but it is chock full of big ones.”

Targeting offshore structure that rose from a depth of 24 feet to 10 feet and created a bass-friendly current break, Gleason said he needed to hold his boat in a particular position. He struggled to do that on the first day, when he caught a limit that weighed 14-15 and landed him in 20th place. Today’s lighter winds, he said, brought a pleasantly different story.

Gleason caught his winning fish on a Strike King 6XD crankbait in blue/chartreuse, a 6th Sense C-15 crankbait also in blue/chartreuse, a 3/4-ounce V&M football jig in blue shadow with a green pumpkin V&M J-Bug trailer and a Carolina rig baited with either a V&M Pork Shad (green pumpkin candy) or a V&M Chop Stick (watermelon candy red).

Gleason said he fished the same spot as fellow pro Gary Adkins, whom he thanked for leaving him sufficient space to operate.

“The gentleman who shared the spot with me was the most respectful angler I’ve ever been around,” Gleason said. “He didn’t have to be that way, but he was. If it weren’t for him allowing me to fish where I needed to fish, I would not have been able to catch what I caught.”

For his effort, Gleason earned $42,800 and a berth in the 2020 Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, if he competes in the remaining three Basspro.com Bassmaster Opens in the Central Division.

“I’m blessed to have some great friends in this industry, and I’ve cheered them when they had their Classic chance,” he said. “For me to get mine, it’s just everything to me.”

Taku Ito of Chiba, Japan, placed second with 30-10. A limit of 15-4 put him in 16th place in the first round, and he turned in a highly consistent effort of 15-4 today.

“Two days ago, I caught fish on a spinnerbait shallow in muddy water around cypress trees,” Ito said. “But today, it was tough, so I fished the same spot, but deeper — in 20 feet. I used a 6.5-inch green pumpkin straight worm, Neko rigged with a 3/16-ounce weight.

“I caught three fish on the Neko rig and two fish on a 1/2-ounce white spinnerbait with willowleaf and Colorado blades. Slow rolling the spinnerbait was the key.”

Logan Latuso of Gonzalez, La., improved from 22nd place and finished third with 30-0. He added 15-6 to his Day 1 weight of 14-10. He attributed his success to sticking with his shallow water strength.

“I was just covering water, trying to find the best deal,” Latuso said. “I caught all my fish on a Delta Lures spinnerbait and a Delta Lures Thunder Jig with a V&M J-Bug trailer. I just fished anything in the water — shallow wood, shallow grass in the backs of creeks where the water was a little warmer. Today, my prime area got a little muddy from the rain, so I had to try new water, and it paid off.”

Travis Alcock of Antioch, Ill., won the Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 9-1.

Andrew Thomasson of Dublin, Va., won the co-angler division with 18-5. After placing 19th on Day 1 with 7-7, he added 10-14 in the final round and won $21,400.

Thomasson caught most of his bass on a dropshot with a Roboworm in the “margarita mutilator” color. His largest fish of the day, an estimated 6-pounder, ate a 1/2-ounce chartreuse/blue/white spinnerbait with a willowleaf/Colorado blade combination.

“I was slow rolling my spinnerbait in about 5 feet; they weren’t hitting higher in the water column,” Thomasson said. “I bumped it off a stump, and that fish grabbed it.

“I fished my dropshot in about 18 feet of water and used a short leader to keep the bait right on the bottom with a 1/2-ounce weight. On the graph, you could see them right on the bottom.”

Ryan Bowman of Seneca, S.C., won the Phoenix Boats Big Bass award for the co-angler division with a 6-6 largemouth.

N.C. State Anglers Vault Into Lead In Bassmaster College Series Tournament On Lake Norman

CORNELIUS, N.C. — With more than 250 boats to send through takeoff one at a time, it can take a long while for those drawing a high boat number in this week’s Carhartt Bassmaster College Series tournament presented by Bass Pro Shops to get a lure in the water.

That happened to Jacob Moore and Gilliam Tharpe of North Carolina State in the first round on Lake Norman, but they were able to take full advantage of an early morning bite today, when the boat order was reversed, and they were among the first to head out.

Moore and Tharpe, who were in 17th place after weighing four bass on Thursday, vaulted to the top of the leaderboard Friday with a limit of five bass that weighed 15 pounds, 10 ounces. The Wolfpack anglers have a two-day total of 27-1 which is nearly 2 1/2 pounds more than Oklahoma State’s Taylor Hamburger and Tristen Turley, who have 24-11.

The top 12 teams will compete Saturday in the final round of the tournament — the first of four regular-season Bassmaster College Series events scheduled this year. The dozen remaining teams will win a share of $8,500 in cash for their respective bass fishing teams, with the winning twosome earning a $2,500 prize for their school.

The heaviest largemouth bass for most teams came during the first few hours of fishing Thursday, and the trend continued today. But unlike the first day, when the rain eventually slacked and the sun shined for the first time in a week, the showers started overnight and didn’t relent through weigh-in today at Blythe Landing. Temperatures stayed in the high 40s all day, too, which made conditions especially rough on the anglers.

Saturday’s weather is expected to be just as wet, with temperatures hovering in the low to mid-40s all day.
Moore and Tharpe haven’t let the dismal conditions rattle them, though. They had a limit weighing about 13 pounds by 11 a.m. Friday, and they made slight upgrades twice in the afternoon to add heft to their haul.

“I think a lot of people are trying to catch these bigger (largemouth bass) by cranking,” Tharpe said. “That was our bread-and-butter technique yesterday. But today, the fish were just not eating a crankbait. Whether it’s because of the fishing pressure, the weather changing, whatever… we had to adjust throughout the day. We’re doing a little bit of everything.”

Moore caught the biggest bass of the tournament on Thursday. The 6-13 largemouth anchored his team’s Day 1 catch of four bass that totaled 11-7. Though that’s easily the biggest bass of the tournament so far, having a catch of that caliber builds confidence.

“You can’t really target something like that,” Moore said. “But we’re in an area with a bunch of largemouth. We’ll catch whatever bites and hope we get one that big again.”

Tharpe said once he and Moore had 15-plus pounds onboard Friday, they vacated their best spot and scouted a few other areas for potential keepers. They won’t have to be as conservative on Saturday.

“That’s the difference,” Tharpe said. “There’s no reason to conserve anything tomorrow. We can just fish our spot until it’s empty if we need to.”

Hamburger and Turley caught a 15-14 limit on Friday; the biggest bag of the day. They caught two spotted bass in the 3- to 4-pound range early, and targeted largemouth later in the afternoon, with the heaviest weighing approximately 5 pounds.

Hamburger said he and his teammate had found a good area for largemouth bass, and they have tried to conserve it by minimizing their time there. “I didn’t want to lean on it too hard,” Hamburger said. “Once we got the good bag today, we backed off a little bit. We hope to find a limit early tomorrow and then go for largemouth again.”

Also fishing in the finals Saturday are Benjamin Hager and Noah Shaver, University of North Carolina-Charlotte, third with 24-10; Isaac Duncan (fishing solo), Blue Mountain College, fourth with 24-9; and Cole Breeden and Cameron Smith, Drury University, fifth with 24-0; Jacob Louis and Nathan Doty, McKendree University, sixth with 24-0; Chandlar Ellis and Gil Senn, Lander University, seventh with 23-9; Garrett Warren and Eric Lampkin, Snead State Community College, eighth with 23-7; Louis Monetti and Andrew Weaver, UNC-Charlotte, ninth with 22-12; William Nichols and Jamon Phillips, Jacksonville State University, 10th with 21-13; Justin Barnes and Adam Carroll, University of Montevallo, 11th with 21-10; and Miller Spivey and Trey Dickert, University of Montevallo, 12th with 21-7.

Moore and Tharpe remain in the lead for the Carhartt Big Bass Award and the $500 Carhartt gift certificate that goes to the tandem with the heaviest bass of the tournament. Ellis and Senn, the Day 1 leaders with a 16-10 limit, remain in the lead for the Bass Pro Shops Big Bag Award and the $250 Bass Pro Shops certificate that accompanies it.

In all, 256 college tandems from around the U.S. started the three-day tournament on Lake Norman. The top 10 percent of those duos (26 teams in all) automatically advance to the college national championship tournament to be held at a yet to be disclosed fishery later this year.

The Bassmaster College Series tournament presented by Bass Pro Shops is sponsored by Visit Lake Norman, Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte.

The Day 3 launch will begin at 7 a.m. ET at Blythe Landing. Weigh-in will start at 3 p.m. The weigh-in can be seen on Bassmaster.com

Fort Loudon, Tellico Lakes Will Give Bassmaster Classic Competitors Plenty Of Options

Downtown Knoxville, Tenn., will become the center of the bass fishing world March 15-17, when the GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods gets underway on the Tennessee River.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by DICK'S Sporting Goods brings bass fishing’s grandest event to the spot where one of the nation’s grandest rivers begins.

Literally forming at the host city of Knoxville, the Tennessee River traces its beginning to the confluence of the Holston and French Broad rivers on the town’s east side. From there, it extends 652 miles before emptying into the Ohio River.

The entire length of the Tennessee is known for its bass fishing, but the upper section will become the focal point of the bass fishing universe March 15-17, when the Classic gets under way. The three-day event is worth $300,000 to the winner, out of a total purse of $1 million.

The Classic waters have been off-limits to the 52 Classic qualifiers since December 31. They’ll have a few more days to scout the fishery just prior to the start of competition as they try to pinpoint locations where they can catch the heaviest five-bass limits each day.

Classic waters include Fort Loudoun and Tellico lakes, twin reservoirs connected by a canal and comprising about 30,000 combined acres. Competitors can fish either lake and anywhere along the Tennessee River upstream from Fort Loudoun Dam to the Interstate-40 bridge on the Holston River and the Highway 168 bridge on the French Broad River.

“The river just has so much to offer from top to bottom,” said Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brandon Card, who lives in Knoxville and loves the river. “A lot of the anglers who’ll be fishing this Classic have probably never seen this particular part of the river before.

“I’ve been fishing Fort Loudon and Tellico off and on my whole life, and I know how good they can be.”

Fort Loudoun

Named after an 18th-Century British fort built during the French and Indian War,
Fort Loudoun Lake was constructed in 1943 for hydroelectric power production, and it boasts 379 miles of shoreline and 14,600 surface acres.

Card said anglers in the 52-angler Classic field who prefer to fish for largemouth will likely spend most of their time on Fort Loudon due to its stained water color and wealth of shallow structure.

“Fort Loudon looks more like a river,” Card said. “It has that Tennessee River water clarity that is just great for fishing shallow. The ‘power’ fishermen — the guys who like to throw crankbaits and swimbaits and things like that — will probably gravitate toward Fort Loudon.

“That’s what I would do — and I’d look for places that have big largemouth and smallmouth because both species are in Fort Loudon.”

Noting that March is one of the best months to fish all of the Tennessee River reservoirs, former Bassmaster Classic champion David Fritts agreed that Fort Loudon is more suited for shallow fishing.

“The key to success is being able to find the staging fish as they move in,” Fritts said. “Rock is always important this time of year on the Tennessee River. Wood on a rocky spot enhances it, but a hard bottom is the key. You’re not going to catch a whole lot of fish off of laydowns, unless they have hard bottom underneath.”

Tellico

Completed in 1979, this 15,560-acre reservoir was created as a Loudoun extension. The Tellico Dam impounds the Little Tennessee River, which flows northwestward from its source in the Appalachian Mountains and enters the Tennessee River near Lenoir City.

Unlike its neighboring Fort Loudoun structure, Tellico Dam has no power-generation capabilities. Instead, it serves to divert water through a short canal into Fort Loudoun for greater flood control and navigational purposes.

Perhaps as a result, Tellico typically features clearer water than Fort Loudon and can be more attractive to deep-water anglers.

“You’re talking 10 feet of visibility on Tellico versus maybe 3 feet of visibility on Fort Loudon,” Card said. “So, the light-line, smallmouth guys are definitely going to favor Tellico.”

As with most clear-water fisheries, Card said success on Tellico is tied heavily to the weather of the day.

“Tellico is more of a conditional lake,” he said. “On overcast days or real windy days, that’s when Tellico is going to shine. But if we get a bluebird, sunny day, Tellico will be tough.”

Tale of two Classics

Card said limits of 20-pound smallmouth are possible on either fishery. It’ll just be a matter of how an angler wants to fish and what the weather will allow. Though the area is being pounded by heavy rains now, Card said if the weather stabilizes, the venue should make for a great Classic.

“You can pretty much pick your poison,” he said. “You can fish a drop-shot rig in 40 feet of water on Tellico, or you can fish a squarebill on Fort Loudon in 2 feet of water.

“Strategically, you’re going to have to make some tough decisions all three days.”

The biggest decision, according to Elite Series pro Mark Menendez of Kentucky, may be whether you want to catch lots of smallmouth at Tellico or bank on an occasional monster smallmouth at Fort Loudon.

“Loudoun has a good population of 4- and 5-pound smallmouth, and those are going to play big in the Classic,” Menendez said. “It’s easier to catch a 5-pound smallmouth on Loudoun than a 5-pound largemouth — but there are more largemouth. It’s going to make for a really fun guessing game.”

Knoxville leaders are excited about showing off their fishery to fishing fans visiting from throughout the nation.

“The Visit Knoxville Sports Commission has enjoyed partnering with B.A.S.S. and looks forward to welcoming the Bassmaster Classic in just a few short weeks,” said Kim Bumpas, president of Visit Knoxville. “Hosting this event in Knoxville is the perfect opportunity to showcase the beautiful Tennessee River to the Classic competitors and outdoor enthusiasts.”

Classic anglers will take off each competition morning from Volunteer Landing in downtown Knoxville, and weigh-ins will be each afternoon at Thompson-Boling Arena on the University of Tennessee campus. The Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods and other activities will take place at the Knoxville Convention Center and the adjacent World’s Fair Exhibition Hall.

Lander University Team Takes Early Lead In Bassmaster College Event On Lake Norman

CORNELIUS, N.C. — Every angler entered in the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series tournament presented by Bass Pro Shops would rather the sun shine like it did Thursday afternoon on Lake Norman.

But they certainly would rather catch bass like they did Thursday morning, when slate grey skies produced periodic rainstorms, many of them heavy.

Chandlar Ellis and Gil Senn of Lander University in Greenwood, S.C., made the most of the morning bite and they lead a field of 256 duos competing on 32,000-acre Lake Norman here in the heart of the Tar Heel State.

Ellis and Senn caught five bass on Day 1 that weighed 16 pounds, 10 ounces. That total gave them more than a 2-pound edge over the remainder of the field.

The tournament is the first of four regular-season events on the 2019 Bassmaster College Series schedule.
“We pulled up this morning and on the first three casts, we had three fish,” said Senn. “That morning bite is extremely important to us. As the day wore on, the bite really slowed down. The fish were getting smaller.”

The tandem targeted largemouth bites on Lake Norman, which easily provided more spotted bass on Thursday than any other species. But Ellis caught a 4-11 largemouth that tied for the second largest catch of the day and provided the heft his team needed to grab the first-round lead.

In fact, the Lander University tandem caught four largemouth bass on Thursday to go with one spotted bass. That was the difference that provided them a 2-pound cushion heading into Day 2.

“We pulled up to a bank and were moving along it this morning,” Ellis said. “I threw once and I caught a 3-pounder. I put him in the livewell and threw right back to the same spot and caught that 4-pounder. Fishing was good for a while this morning. The sun warmed up the rocks a bit and we caught a couple that way, but it wasn’t the same as it was early.”

Senn said he and Ellis agreed during practice that a 25-pound total over two days would get a team into the group of 12 tandems that survive the cut to fish on Saturday.

The Lander University anglers are close to that mark after only one day of competition.

“The fish are replenishing really well now,” Senn said “It’s just that time of year. We caught one largemouth all week in practice,” Senn said. “It was all spots for us until today. We get in there today and it was all largemouth. Who knows? But we’ll definitely try for them again tomorrow.”

Justin Barnes and Adam Carroll of the University of Montevallo (Ala.) are in second place with 14-7. Luke Mason and Justin lane of the University of North Alabama are third with 14-4, Garrett Warren and Eric Lampkin of Snead State Community College (Ala.) are fourth with 14-2 and Chase Serafin and Jack Hippe of Adrian College (Mich.) are fifth with 13-9.

The team of Jacob Moore and Gilliam Tharpe of North Carolina State caught the big bass on Thursday – a 6-pound, 13-ounce largemouth that outweighed any other bass caught Thursday by 2 pounds. That gives the tandem an early lead for the Carhartt Big Bass of the tournament and the $500 Carhartt gift card that comes with it.

Moore said he caught the fish on, not surprisingly, an early-morning bite.

“It was exciting,” he said. “I wish we had four more like it.”

Friday’s weather looks like it will see-saw much like it has throughout the week. There’s a 60 percent chance of rain early Friday, but it dips to 25 percent by late morning. There’s a 70-percent likelihood of rain by 1 p.m., a full two hours before the first flight of anglers is due to weigh-in.

Temperatures are not expected to climb higher than 50 degrees on Friday.

The top 10 percent of teams competing on Lake Norman (26 teams in all) will automatically advance to the Carhartt Bassmaster College National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops tournament to be held at a yet to be disclosed fishery later this year.

The top dozen duos will split $8,500 in cash for their respective bass fishing teams, with a $2,500 prize going to the winning team’s school.

Ellis and Senn have the early lead on the Bass Pros Shops Big Bag of the tournament, which earns the winner a $250 Bass Pro Shops gift card.

The Bassmaster College Series tournament presented by Bass Pro Shops is sponsored by Visit Lake Norman, Mecklenberg County and the City of Charlotte.

The Day 2 launch will begin at 7 a.m. ET at Blythe Landing. Weigh-in will start at 3 p.m.

Day 2 BASS Open cancelled at Toledo Bend

MANY, La. — Due to potentially dangerous storms in the area, B.A.S.S. officials elected to cancel the second day of competition at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Opens tournament underway at Toledo Bend.

Thunderstorms with dangerous lightning raised concerns over the safety of the 213 boats — each with two contestants — going out on the massive 185,000-acre impoundment. The National Weather Service forecasts a 90 percent chance of thunderstorms for Thursday.

Toledo Bend, the nation’s fifth largest manmade reservoir, is known to become especially dangerous for boating when impacted by wind-driven thunderstorms.

“We made this decision based on the safety of the anglers, fans, B.A.S.S. staff and everyone who would be outdoors in the dangerous lightening,” said Chris Bowes, B.A.S.S. senior tournament manager.

“We are fortunate enough to have access to and the ability to use advanced forecasting and radar tools to make weather-related decisions,” Bowes added. “We also consulted with other tournament officials and collectively made the best decision for everyone.”

The plan is for the entire field to fish on Friday, when the tournament winner will be determined at Cypress Bend Park.


Early Bass Bite Gives Millender The Lead In Bassmaster Open At Toledo Bend

MANY, La. Focusing on early prespawners lead Randy Millender to the Day 1 lead at the season opener of the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Open on Louisiana’s Toledo Bend Reservoir with a 5-bass limit that weighed 22 pounds, 11 ounces.

While many anglers were looking for bites inside the mouths of spawning creeks, the Teague, Texas, pro devoted his day to main-lake structure. He targeted a specific habitat feature in 5 to 6 feet of water.

Often, anglers in later flights find the longer day affords them more opportunities. However, despite weighing his fish in the day’s last flight, Millender said the afternoon hours did not impact his performance.

“I caught all these fish on my first stop this morning,” he said. “I had a stretch that had ’em. I had my limit by 8:30. But whether they’ll be there tomorrow or not, who knows?”

Millender caught all of his fish on a squarebill crankbait. Noting that crawfish patterns were most productive, he said his retrieve was intrinsic to his success.

“Long casts are always important with a crankbait, but speed was also important,” Millender said. “Once it was down there, I tried not to work it too fast.

“The strikes were very lethargic. Half the time, you don’t even know you have a fish; they just load up on it.”

After a rainy, windy practice period, Toledo Bend saw gray skies yielding to the bright “bluebird” conditions of the classic post-frontal scenario. This, Millender said, is what made his morning more productive than his afternoon.

“After the clouds rolled out and we got this high pressure, the fish really locked down,” he said.

John Cox of DeBary, Fla., is in second place with 21-7. Game plans are good, but Cox found a random run-and-gun strategy with a reaction bait delivering his bites.

“It started off slow, and I just ground on them all day,” Cox said. “I got lucky and caught my two best ones almost back to back around 11. Then I started bouncing around and fishing stuff that looked good and culled out my other fish.”

Dave Redington of Winnsboro, Texas, is in third place with 20-8. After starting offshore, he felt the call of a shallow flipping bite, but after several unproductive hours of close work, he realized he should have stayed put.

“I was only catching about one every 30 minutes offshore, but I kept wanting to get back to my shallow stuff,” Redington said. “Once it warmed up, I spent about four hours doing that and I had four decent ones and one little ‘rat.’ I figured the best way to get rid of that little one was to go back out deep.

“I went back out and culled that with a 2 1/2-pounder. I caught them on a crankbait and a Carolina rig.”

Travis Alcock of Antioch, Ill., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 9-1 largemouth.

Stephen Sennikoff Jr. of Garland, Texas, leads the co-angler division with 11-12. He caught all of his fish on a white/chartreuse spinnerbait with a willowleaf/Colorado-blade combination.

“I’d been catching them in practice on a ChatterBait when the water was a little dirtier,” Sennikoff said. “The area I was in cleared up today, and I thought a spinnerbait would be key. I was slow rolling it and just trying to keep it a couple of feet down in the water column near grass and wood.”

Darrell Hille or Springfield, Tenn., holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with a 6-2.

Thursday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6:45 a.m. CT at Cypress Bend Boat Ramp. The weigh-in will be held at the park at 2:45 p.m.

Alabama - Cullman and Smith Lake - The Destination for MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Five

TULSA, Okla. (Feb. 20, 2019) - Major League Fishing® (MLF) announced today that Cullman, Alabama, and nearby popular bass fishery Lewis Smith Lake will serve as the setting for Stage Five of the 2019 MLF Bass Pro Tour, April 30 - May 5.

"We are extremely excited to announce this new partnership and adventure with Major League Fishing," said Woody Jacobs, Mayor of the City of Cullman. "By bringing the 2019 MLF Bass Pro Tour to our community this spring, we will be opening new avenues to sports tourism that were not always an option.

"I want to thank those involved with our Cullman Parks, Recreation, & Sports Tourism, along with Cullman Economic Development Agency for recruiting and securing the event; and also the Cullman County Commission and County Parks and Recreation for providing resources for this all to work. MLF consists of the top bass anglers in the world, and Smith Lake offers one of the best spotted bass fisheries in the entire United States. All of these factors, along with the tourism benefits and the prime coverage will help to make this a successful and fun event."

Neither the state nor Cullman are strangers to the bass fishing scene. Sixteen of the Bass Pro Tour's 80-angler field call Alabama home, and Jesse Wiggins, Matt Lee and Jordan Lee are from Cullman. Jordan Lee won the inaugural Bass Pro Tour opener in Kissimmee, Florida, and he's the reigning Bassmaster Classic champion with back-to-back Classic titles - winning in 2017 and 2018.

Jordan Lee is one of three MLF anglers from Cullman, Ala., and among the 16 who reside in the state from the 80-man field that will be competing in the MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Five event at Alabama's Lewis Smith Lake, April 30 - May 5.

The north Alabama reservoir is located on the Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior River. It is about 21,000 acres in size and reaches depths of more than 250 feet near its dam. The lake's diversity in depth and structure caters to literally every bass fishing technique imaginable, from topwater to drop shotting, meaning every angler should be able to fish to his liking.

The Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) recently reopened the public boat landing that will serve as the Stage Five launch site. The renovated facility includes a 90-foot-wide, six-lane launching slab and a paved parking lot with room for 113 tow vehicles with boat trailers, and 10 cars.

Other improvements include security lighting, a paved overflow parking lot for another 70 truck and trailer rigs, a 45-foot stationary aluminum pier, two large floating aluminum piers and a fixed aluminum pedestrian bridge that connects the overflow and main parking areas. The launch site is located on the northeast side of Ryan Creek and accessed free of charge through Smith Lake Park at 403 County Rd. 386 in Cullman.

The project was funded by the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which is supported through excise taxes on the sale of outboard motor fuel, fishing equipment, and the sale of state fishing licenses. For more information about this and other WFF public boating access areas, visit http://boatramps.dcnr.alabama.gov/.

As for Smith's quality fishing, anglers often find themselves challenged in deciding whether to focus on the lake's generous population of spotted bass, target the bigger largemouth bass or rely on both. Making it even more interesting is the fact that the MLF Bass Pro Tour uses a unique catch-weigh-and-immediate-release format in which all "scorable" bass caught do count in an angler's score. That means Smith Lake's big schools of healthy spotted bass could be game changers throughout the competition.

"It's going to be highly exciting to watch our MLF hammers compete in the heart of the Yellowhammer State," said Michael Mulone, MLF's Senior Director of Events & Partnerships. "MLF's format will really show off how good this fishery is because bass within Smith Lake's 13-to-15-inch slot limit will count in our competition once they satisfy the one-pound minimum rule and since MLF fish are released immediately back into the water after being caught and weighed ... they don't go into livewells.

"The Cullman folks are already working hard to make Stage Five something special and I can assure all MLF fans that this will definitely be a must-attend festival."

As in all Bass Pro Tour events, the Cullman visit will feature seven hours of live coverage on each competition day with access to the MLF NOW! free live stream found on the league's website, www.majorleaguefishing.com.

The Smith Lake event will also result in a two-hour television show that will air on Discovery Channel in the fourth quarter of 2019, and repeat on Sportsman Channel in first and second quarters of 2020.

MLF programming also airs on Outdoor Channel, World Fishing Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network and Discovery Channel, and all episodes are available on-demand on MyOutdoorTV (MOTV).

VanDam’s 3 Top Lures for Early Spring

By Alan McGuckin with Dynamic Sponsorships

 

If you live in Texas, Florida, Southern California, Arizona or Cancun you may decide to scroll ahead.

 

But if you live within 300 miles of Charlotte, St. Louis, Nashville, Syracuse, Minneapolis, Tulsa, Indianapolis, or anywhere else where snow flurries still threaten to fly, the “Kalamazoo Kid has chosen three lures you might want to make sure you have ready for your first big bass fishing trip of the new season.

 

“The first fishing trip of the year for most people involves water temps in the 40s or really low 50s. So the three lures I’m choosing here are among my three favorites to cover a variety of conditions when the water is still really cold,” says VanDam.

 

½ ounce Strike King Red Eye ShadIt’s hard to beat a lipless crankbait in some shade of red or crawfish in late winter or early spring. It really shines well if there’s aquatic vegetation – but that’s not critical. It wasn’t critical when I won the 2010 Classic on Lay Lake with a Red Eye Shad, and there was actually still a thin layer of ice on some of the backwaters when we started practice that week in Alabama,” remembers the Team Toyota angler.

 

“The key is to fish it near the bottom at this time of year by dragging or short hopping it, rather than burning it higher in the water column, like you would in much warmer water,” he emphasizes. “That’s why I like to use a slightly slower Quantum Smoke 6.1:1 reel when fishing a lipless bait in cold water – that slower gear ratio reel forces me to slow down my retrieve.”

 

Suspending Jerkbait  “Anybody who’s followed my career probably knows I love to fish a jerkbait. Most pros, including myself, never leave home without a Plano box full of jerkbaits at this time of year – especially if the water is clear, or mostly clear,” says VanDam.

 

“This is not a lure you want to throw in muddy water like you see in the photo. But in cold clear water, it’s probably the very best lure you can tie on. The series of jerks – and then long pauses of the rod tip – before jerking again, are not only visible in clear water, but also give cold lethargic fish time to react, ” he says.

 

Forced to choose just two colors, VanDam picks Crystal Shad for super clear water, and Sexy Shad for barely stained water. He says the Strike King KVD Deep 300 jerkbait will dive to 10-feet on 10-pound line.

 

½ ounce Strike King Structure Jig – “If the water is muddy like you see it behind me – you’ll need a fairly bulky jig to slowly probe every piece of shallow cover you can find, but this jig is also super versatile, so if you have clearer water you may want to drag it slowly across a rocky bottom on a primary or secondary point. Versatility is the reason I choose this jig as one of my three lures to begin your fishing this year,” says VanDam.

 

And as you might have guessed, during this time of year, as blankets of white snow finally give way to yellow daffodils and pink dogwood blooms, VanDam chooses green pumpkin colored jigs for clear water and black/blue if the water is muddy.

 


Rambo & Clark win Outlaw Outdoors Sweet 16 tournament on Sam Rayburn with over 26 pounds!

Congratulations to the duo of Cory Rambo and Rusty Clark for taking home the win today with their impressive 26.75 lb stringer. 162 Teams.

Maryland’s Duarte Wins T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League South Carolina Division Opener on Lake Hartwell Presented by Navionics

Co-angler Title Goes to Gilbert’s Hough

ANDERSON, S.C. (Feb. 18, 2019) – Boater John Duarte of Middle River, Maryland, caught five bass Saturday weighing 18 pounds, 8 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) South Carolina Division season opener on Lake Hartwell presented by Navionics. For his win, Duarte earned $4,396.

“I fished mid-lake docks in pockets and tried to cover as much water as I could,” said Duarte, who earned his second career victory in BFL competition. “It was on fire from 11 (a.m.) until the end of the tournament. I think the time of day positioned those fish in the backs of the pockets and put them where they were easy to catch.”

Duarte said he caught 12 to 15 keepers overall, saying that four of the five fish he weighed came on a 4.8-inch Pro Blue Red Pearl-colored Keitech FAT Swing Impact swimbait with a ¼-ounce jighead.

“I was skipping it under the docks and casting to the edges,” said Duarte.

Duarte’s other limit-fish came on a ½-ounce homemade green-pumpkin-colored jig with a Zoom Big Salty Chunk trailer of the same color. He said he caught it around 8:30 a.m. from under a docked pontoon boat up the Seneca River.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          John Duarte, Middle River, Md., five bass, 18-8, $2,396 + $2,000 Ranger Cup Bonus

2nd:         Wesley Sandifer, Chapin, S.C., five bass, 16-0, $1,148

3rd:          Kyle Austin, Ridgeville, S.C., five bass, 15-14, $701

4th:          Scott Allgood, Fair Play, S.C., five bass, 15-8, $489

5th:          Shayne McFarlin, Martin, Ga., five bass, 15-6, $419

6th:          Nitro pro David Williams, Maiden, N.C., five bass, 14-13, $384

7th:          Thomas Guthke, Anderson, S.C., five bass, 13-9, $349

8th:          Randy Childers, Anderson, S.C., five bass, 13-7, $314

9th:          Travis Garrett, Toccoa, Ga., five bass, 13-6

10th:        Jayme Rampey, Liberty, S.C., five bass, 13-1

Brian Tucci of Surfside Beach, South Carolina, caught a 5-pound, 4-ounce bass – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division – and earned the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $100.

Kate Hough of Gilbert, South Carolina, won the Co-angler Division and $1,248 Saturday after catching five bass weighing 11 pounds, 13 ounces.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

1st:          Kate Hough, Gilbert, S.C.,   five bass, 11-13, $1,248

2nd:         Stephen Britt, Columbia, S.C., five bass, 10-3, $574

3rd:          Jeff Horton, Boiling Springs, S.C., five bass, 9-7, $349

4th:          Mario Hill, Thomson, Ga., five bass, 9-4, $245

5th:          Lee Inman, Inman, S.C., five bass, 8-15, $210

6th:          Kyle Deeds, Greenville, S.C., five bass, 8-6, $192

7th:          Bill Hawkins, Piedmont, S.C., five bass, 8-3, $175

8th:          Shawn Kincaid, Lexington, S.C., five bass, 8-1, $157

9th:          Jeff Rikard, Leesville, S.C., four bass, 6-1

10th:        Weston Thomas, Chapin, S.C., five bass, 6-0

Dwayne Parton of Anderson, South Carolina, caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 3 pounds, 10 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $100.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 10-12 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, Georgia. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard.

The T-H Marine FLW BFL South Carolina Division tournament on Lake Hartwell presented by Navionics was hosted by the Anderson Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American. The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30-June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.

Boynton Beach’s Stevens Catches 32-Pound Limit, Wins T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League Gator Division Tournament on Lake Okeechobee

Lake Worth’s Goldberg Grabs Co-angler Title

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. (Feb. 18, 2019) – Boater Kail Stevens of Boynton Beach, Florida, caught a massive five-bass limit Saturday weighing 32 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Gator Division tournament on Lake Okeechobee. Stevens took home $4,766 for his efforts.

“We had a little cold front come through and it slowed everything down leading up to the tournament,” said Stevens, who earned his first career victory with FLW. “On Saturday, though, it seemed like a new wave of fish moved up.

“I was around the Monkey Box and Harney Pond and was fishing for bedding fish,” continued Stevens. “I didn’t know whether they were in or out yet. I started inside, shallow, where I could see bottom and I caught some smaller bucks. That told me they might be coming in, but they’re not in yet. I went out midway toward the main lake and caught a 7-pounder flipping cattails.”

Stevens said he caught the 7-pounder flipping a 4.25-inch black and blue Gambler Stinger.

“I fished through there and ended up back where I started, and on my first cast back I caught an 8-pound, 11-ouncer,” said Stevens. “Three casts later I caught a 6-pounder. I Power-Poled down and picked off two more 5-plus-pounders. I went from having 12 pounds to 25 or 26 pounds in 30 to 40 minutes.”

Stevens said those fish came on black and blue- and green-pumpkin-colored Gambler Big EZ swimbaits.

“In practice the water was dirtier, so I threw lighter colors, but in the tournament it cleared up so I went darker,” Stevens went on to say. ”All of my fish came from the same 100-yard stretch. It was definitely a day I’ll never forget.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Kail Stevens, Boynton Beach, Fla., five bass, 32-10, $4,766

2nd:         Brandon Medlock, Lake Placid, Fla., five bass, 29-12, $1,883

3rd:          Timothy Feller, Coral Springs, Fla., five bass, 27-2, $1,456

4th:          Alex Terescenko, West Palm Beach, Fla., five bass, 26-1, $879

5th:          Josh McDermott, Fishers, Ind., five bass, 25-2, $853

6th:          Christian Greico, Tampa, Fla., five bass, 24-11, $690

7th:          Trent Pardue, Troy, N.C., five bass, 24-3, $628

8th:          Nicholas Anthony, Port Saint Lucie, Fla., five bass, 24-2, $565

9th:          Val Osinski, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., five bass, 23-1, $502

10th:        Chad Van Slyke, Cicero, N.Y., five bass, 23-0, $439

Derek Savage of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, caught a 9-pound, 13-ounce bass – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division – and earned the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $500.

Sam Goldberg of Lake Worth, Florida, won the Co-angler Division and $2,133 Saturday after catching five bass weighing 22 pounds, 5 ounces.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

1st:          Sam Goldberg, Lake Worth, Fla., five bass, 22-5, $2,133

2nd:         Shawn York, Sarasota, Fla., five bass, 21-5, $1,142

3rd:          Joshua Weaver, Monroe, Ga., five bass, 17-14, $627

4th:          Bill Osceola II, Ochopee, Fla., five bass, 17-5, $439

5th:          Doug Caldwell, Indiantown, Fla., five bass, 17-0, $377

6th:          Dalton Hottle, Monmouth, Ill., five bass, 16-13, $345

7th:          Kazunori Okuma, Moriyama, Japan, five bass, 16-9, $314

8th:          Stephanie Hutcheson, Orange City, Fla., five bass, 16-8, $332

9th:          Kenneth Guy, Miramar, Fla., five bass, 15-13, $251

10th:        Ricky Martes, Lake Worth, Fla., five bass, 15-9, $220

Goldberg also caught the largest bass in the Co-angler Division, a fish weighing in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces. The catch earned him the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $250.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 10-12 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, Georgia. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard.

The T-H Marine FLW BFL Gator Division tournament on Lake Okeechobee was hosted by the Okeechobee County Tourist & Development Council.

The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American. The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30-June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.

Tennessee’s Aaron Wins T-H Marine FLW BFL Opener on Lake Guntersville Presented by Navionics

Co-angler Title Goes to Indiana’s Lyons

SCOTTSBORO, Ala. (Feb. 18, 2019) – Boater Chad Aaron of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, caught five bass Saturday weighing 25 pounds, 14 ounces, to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Choo Choo Division season opener on Lake Guntersville presented by Navionics. For his win, Aaron earned $4,363.

“I was hitting small underwater eddies. They were specific – I had to cast within a couple of feet to get bit,” said Aaron, who earned his second career victory in FLW competition. “It’s something I’ve been doing on the Tennessee River for years – just playing the current deal. When there’s heavy rain and the water is stained and muddy in the wintertime and early spring, it sets up the way I like to fish.”

Aaron said he worked through eight eddies, mid-lake, and caught 12 keepers in the process. He used a ½- and ¾-ounce black jig with a Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed craw and custom 4- to 6-inch shad-colored swimbaits, noting that a 5-inch swimbait did especially well throughout the day.

“I just rotated through the baits as the spots reloaded,” said Aaron. “If they missed the swimbait, I’d throw the jig in there and they’d eat it – I caught three or four like that. When I’d catch one fish out of an eddy, I’d leave for 30 minutes. They were one-fish spots – they weren’t schools by any means.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1st:          Chad Aaron, Lawrenceburg, Tenn., five bass, 25-14, $4,363

2nd:         Kent Keys, Anniston, Ala., five bass, 25-3, $2,082

3rd:          Aaron Stephens, Hayden, Ala., five bass, 24-14, $1,787

4th:          Derek Remitz, Grant, Ala., five bass, 23-5, $971

5th:          Scott Towry, Lawrenceburg, Tenn., five bass, 21-10, $833

6th:          Braden Marshall, Hixson, Tenn., five bass, 20-9, $763

7th:          Dennis Barnes, Boaz, Ala., five bass, 20-7, $694

8th:          Trey Gamble, Helena, Ala., five bass, 19-4, $625

9th:          Ricky Parpolowicz, Decatur, Ala., five bass, 19-1, $555

10th:        Cory Mathis, Newnan, Ga., five bass, 18-13, $486

Daniel Trevino Jr. of Langston, Alabama, caught an 8-pound, 12-ounce bass – the heaviest of the event in the Boater Division – and earned the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $580.

Mark Lyons of Marion, Indiana, won the Co-angler Division and $2,082 Saturday after catching five bass weighing 17 pounds, 14 ounces.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

1st:          Mark Lyons, Marion, Ind., five bass, 17-14, $2,082

2nd:         David Freeman, Hixson, Tenn., five bass, 15-14, $1,041

3rd:          Todd Harris, Athens, Tenn., five bass, 14-3, $692

4th:          Cody Davis, Hico, Texas, five bass, 14-1, $486

5th:          Marcus Corbett, Anniston, Ala., five bass, 13-8, $516

6th:          Ethan Wheeler, Mayfield, Ky., five bass, 12-14, $432

7th:          Steven Jacques, Addison, Ala., three bass, 12-11, $347

8th:          Charles Billingsley, Huntsville, Ala., four bass, 12-5, $312

9th:          Justin Stringer, Hartselle, Ala., three bass, 11-15, $278

10th:        Matt Hardy, Guntown, Miss., two bass, 11-10, $243

Tracey Gearlds of Tullahoma, Tennessee and Tyler Youngblood of Ooltewah, Tennessee, each caught a bass weighing 8 pounds even in the Co-angler Division – tying for the day’s largest. As a result, the duo split the day’s Co-angler Big Bass award of $290.

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 10-12 BFL Regional Championship on Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, Georgia. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518L with a 200-horsepower outboard.

The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American.

Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.

Evers wins MLF Bass Pro Tour event on Lake Conroe

Edwin Evers kept catching them today,, 24 scorable bass in all that totaled 51-12, to claim the
Championship Sunday title at Lake Conroe.
   
 
CONROE, Texas (Feb. 17, 2019) - In the immediate aftermath of the first Major League Fishing® (MLF) Bass Pro Tour event in Kissimmee, Florida two weeks ago, Edwin Evers' dissatisfaction with finishing second was palpable. Ever the professional, Evers complimented his fellow competitors and smiled for photos at the Berkley Postgame Show, but no talk of Cup points could bring the Oklahoma pro comfort.
Sunday afternoon on Lake Conroe, Evers made sure that the only postgame talk would be of how he earned his first-ever MLF Bass Pro Tour trophy.
Evers racked up 51 pounds, 12 ounces to outdistance Jeff Sprague, (40-8), Boyd Duckett (35-15), Brent Ehrler (34-13) and David Walker (34-7) and claim the win at the Bass Pro Tour Huk Stage Two presented by Favorite Fishing. The Oklahoma pro caught 24 scorable fish on the day, including an exclamation point with 9 minutes left in competition: an 8-1 that hit a drop-shot Berkley Havoc Bottom Hopper.
"You can't imagine how good it feels to catch a fish like that," Evers admitted. "I knew there were big fish in there, because I shook some big ones off the second day of the event. The big females just hadn't gotten there yet, but they're coming."
Evers' winning area

Evers' pattern was to flip his way down the bank with a Black Blue Berkley Havoc Pit Boss,
picking out small indentations and grassy, undercut banks and flipping his bait as close to the bank as he could. He also caught some fish on a vibrating jig.
The area that Evers fished - a canal that he found during the Elimination Round - was shallow at the entrance, but fell off into slightly deeper water the further back he went.
"I feel like I know this lake as well as any lake I fish, but I'd never been in that canal before," Evers admitted. "It looked right when I looked at it on the map, and I had it all to myself - I assume because it was probably pretty muddy in practice. The water was just a little warmer and a little bit cleaner on a couple of those key stretches."
Holding off a midday charge
Evers looked like he might run away with the day almost from the opening gun, racking up over 26 pounds in the first period flipping a Berkley Havoc Pit Boss and winding a vibrating jig. Evers accounted for 13 of the 47 fish recorded during the period.
He eventually hit a lull midway through the second period, going nearly 90 minutes without a scorable fish. Sprague, meanwhile, went on a run, putting 8-9 on the scales to pull within 4 pounds of Evers just before the period break.
The Texas pro was haunted by a couple of near-misses on fish that he estimated to be in the 7-pound range.
"I had the chances, but I couldn't execute on a couple of pretty key bites," Sprague said. "I can't complain too much, I had a great week, but I'd like to have a couple of those bites back."
Evers stomped on the gas in the final period, adding seven fish for 21-5 in the final two-and-a-half hours after deciding to stay in his key area instead of moving.
Finishing out the Top 10
Jordan Lee finished sixth with 27-8, followed by Randall Tharp (17-3), Wesley Strader (9-11), Gary Klein (7-0) and Stephen Browning (6-2).
Next up for the MLF Bass Pro Tour

Connecticut’s Paul Mueller Wins Spotted Bass Slugfest At Lake Lanier, Georgia

Connecticut angler Paul Mueller celebrates with his family after winning the Toyota Bassmaster Elite At Lake Lanier with a four-day total of 69 pounds.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Former B.A.S.S. Nation Champion Paul Mueller proved he belongs in the big leagues of professional fishing by winning a spotted bass shootout on Georgia’s Lake Lanier. Mueller earned $100,000 by winning the Toyota Bassmaster Elite at Lake Lanier today.

Desperate to fill out his five-bass limit with bigger spotted bass, Mueller returned to a deep ridge that had produced most of his big spotted bass on previous days. There, he managed to dredge up two big spotted bass that pushed him ahead of Texas angler Chris Zaldain by less than a pound.

“I struggled today,” Mueller said. “I had run out of options, so I went back to my primary spot and caught a 5 1/4 (pounder) and then a 4. Without those two fish, I don’t win.”

Mueller had 18 pounds, 8 ounces for the day, giving him a four-day total of 69-0. It could have been even more. “There were still fish on that spot when I left,” he added. “At the end of the day, I lost a couple of big ones. I could have had a 20-something bag today.”

He described the structure as a large, underwater ridge with two shallower areas on top and very deep water on each side. He caught most of his spotted bass the first day on a Reins Bubbling Shad on a Do It Molds Freestyle Jighead, but the big producer the rest of the time was a 3 1/4-ounce Reins Fat Rockvibe Shad Swimbait on a 1/2-ounce herring head underspin jighead with the spinner removed.

“Who would have thought you could win this tournament — a blueback herring tournament — off of one spot?” he said. In fisheries where the nomadic herring are a main staple of bass diet, spotted bass are notorious for leaving their holding areas unexpectedly and en masse.

That happened to Zaldain, who also had to contend with a wind shift today that moved his schools of bass. A sudden drop of temperatures into the low 40s didn’t help.

“I fished long, sloping points all week and had to switch to western banks today because of the east wind,” he said.

Zaldain was the leader with 51-9 going into Championship Sunday, when only the Top 10 finalists competed, but he fell short with a 16-9 limit today that included two smaller bass. He alternated between a 3-inch Megabass Spark Shad swimbait on a 3/8-ounce jighead and a 3/8-ounce drop shot with a 3-inch Megabass Hazedong Shad.

Unlike Mueller and Zaldain, the others in the Top 5, and most of those in the Top 10, fished crankbaits in shallow to medium depths, especially on shorelines and points in 38,000-acre Lake Lanier.

Keith Combs of Texas finished third with 66-1, earning a $20,000 payday that pushed him into the Millionaire’s Club of B.A.S.S. His career earnings now stand at $1,001,635. He alternated between Strike King crankbaits and a 6-inch shaky head worm and followed a “run-and-gun” pattern to try numerous spots during the day. “I didn’t stay anywhere long,” he said.

Second-round leader David Mullins of Tennessee dropped to fourth with 65-14 after his bigger fish in the backs of pockets deserted him, and Todd Auten of South Carolina moved up into fifth with 63-6.

The 75 pro anglers had high praise for the quality of fishing on Lake Lanier, which had never hosted an Elite Series event before. Several spotted bass heavier than 5 pounds were weighed in, but it was a 6-14 largemouth that earned Bill Lowen of Indiana the $1,500 Phoenix Boats Big Bass Award.

The 917 bass caught in the four-day tournament averaged more than 2 3/4 pounds, an amazing average for a spotted bass fishery. Also impressive, all 917 were released alive and returned to Lake Lanier.

Chris Johnston, a newcomer to the Elites from Canada, claimed the lead in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year race after two events and earned $1,000. He finished 10th at Lanier and was second behind winner Rick Clunn in the Power-Pole Bassmaster Elite at the St. Johns River, Florida, last week.

Lee Livesay of Texas now leads the DICK’S Sporting Goods Rookie of the Year race, earning $500. The highest-scoring rookie at the end of the 10-event Elite season will collect the $10,000 ROY prize.
