Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournaments 8/14

There are two more Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournaments remaining,  August 21 and August 28 with the year end fish-off scheduled on September 11.  All teams that qualified for the fish-off need to be present on August 28 to draw for their boat positions immediately after the tournament weigh-in. 

Last night there were twenty-five (25) teams fishing the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament.  The cool weather reminded everyone of September and that included the bite, tough, real tough.  Most of teams reported catching only two to three keepers and not getting very many bites in the 3 1/2 hour tournament. 

There were only three 5 fish limits brought to the scales and just five bass weighing four pounds are better.  Only nine teams weighed.  
 

Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament 8/7

Over the past twenty-four hours the lake area has been drenched with twelve to fifteen inches of rain, not counting the heavy rains in surrounding areas.  This has caused the lake to rise suddenly with all kinds of debris floating and a lousey bite. 

Twenty-six (26) teams showed up for the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament despite the threat of more rain and the lake condition.  Several of the teams from the Waynesville area couldn't find a passable road to get to the lake because of the flooding conditions.

Tonight had to be the worst weigh-in in the history of the tournament.  Of the twenty-six teams, only six teams weighed bass and the weights weren't very impressive.  The bite was almost non existent.

Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament 7/31

The bite has slowed down for the second week.  Of the thirty-eight (38) teams fishing the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament there were only six,  five fish limits brought to the scales.  Most of the anglers had three to four keepers weighing around two pounds.  There were three bass weighing 5.14 5.25 and 5.58 pounds, and only three bass weighing four pounds.  

There doesn't seemed to be any clear cut pattern.  Some of the anglers are catching bass in deep brush and others shallow, six to twelve feet.
