Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament 8/3

Another hot and muggy night for the 32 teams fishing the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament.  It was a typical August bite, tough for most of the anglers, but not all.  According to the anglers, the bite didn't really pick up until almost dark and that gave the anglers just about an hour and a half of action before the 10:00 P.M. weigh-in. 

There's no doubt the bite has slowed down, but if an angler is fortunate enough to find the right brush pile or structure it will pay off just as it did for a couple teams tonight.  It does help to have a kicker or two in the livewell.  The baits having the most success are plastics and jigs worked super slow.   

There were just six bass over 4 pounds or better brought to the scales, three of which weighed over 5 pounds.  Big bass for the tournament weighed in at 5.37 pounds and was caught by the team of Gary Shultz and Scott Melton.   

Free entry for next week's Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament was drawn by the team of Mike Chandler and Adam Burris. 

1st.    Gary Shultz & Scott Melton        5 Bass   19.56 lbs.
2nd.   Dan Bowman & Dirk Sluyter      5 Bass   17.37 lbs.
3rd.    Scott & Scott, Jr. Danek              5 Bass   14.76 lbs.
4th.    Wade Roden & Brett Hillhouse   5 Bass   12.94 lbs.
