Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament 7/24

Last night there were thirty teams (30) launching out of PB#2 at 6:30 P.M. hoping to bring a five fish limit of bass to the 10:30 P.M. weigh-in.  The bite has changed since Ameren UE has reduced and some cases stopped generation.  For some anglers it seems like the bite has stopped completely, but as always there are some anglers who figured out where the bass are and the best bait to catch them.    

There were four, 5 fish limits brought to the scales, which is the least amount of limits weighed in a Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament.  Most of the teams had two or three keepers and had very few bites in the three and half hour tournament.  Only four bass weighing 4 pounds and one bass weighing 5 pounds were brought to the scales, which is another first for the Wednesday night tournament.

The heat, miserable humidity and the slow bite seemed to keep a few of the regular anglers away last night.  There were just twenty-nine teams ignoring all the negatives that launched out of PB#2 for the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament. 

There were only ten limits brought to the scales and only five limits weighed.  Bass fishing has slowed down since the water temperature has neared the 90 degree mark.  Not that the bass aren't biting, it's just a little tougher trying to locate the larger bass four pounds or bigger in three and a half hours.  

There were six bass four pounds or better and only one bass weighing 5.09 pounds, which was big bass of the tournament.  Quite a difference from the previous tournaments.  Regardless of the tough bite, the top four teams had nice weights ranging from sixteen to nineteen pounds.

Thirty-three (33) teams launched out of PB#2 for the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament and the Bass Cat and Triton boat owners were hoping to win either the Bass Cat Boats Quest or Triton Gold incentive cash.

The bite slowed down tonight compared to the last two or three months, as were the amount of 4 and 5 pound bass brought to the scales.  There were only six teams with a five fish limit and only seven bass weighing 4 pounds or better.  However, there were two bass over 6 pounds weighed, which isn't to shabby for this time of year.

Despite the pre-holiday boat traffic, the bass fishing was fantastic for the 31 teams fishing the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament.  Most, if not all of the teams, had their five fish limit weighing anywhere from twelve to sixteen pounds, but some teams came to the scales with heavier limits of 3 to 5 pounders.
