Lake Fork Anglers Twice Monthly Tournament resutls for 5/9 - 05/12/19 02:20 PM
Well at least the lake is not falling after a consecutive second week of 3.4” of rain on the day before our tournament. And because the water is up so it seems are the bass. Right in the shoreline vegetation.
Members bagged 120 bass this week and many were of a quality nature.
Unlike the Bassmaster tournament that concluded on Monday our anglers did not have to go deep to find quality bass.
The Lake Fork Anglers Twice monthly daytime results for May 9th, the water temps were in the mid 70's due to a second week of receiving 3.4 inches of rain on Wednesday . This was tournament 9 of 22.
The big girls are still showing themselves both on top waters, plastic worms and creature baits..
The bass were caught on drop shot finesse worms, plastic craws, BBH's and wacky style stick worms.. Lake Fork anglers format is a draw style paper tournament where slot fish count. All fish are measured, recorded and released on the spot year round.
Each boat has a boater and a co-angler.
Only the best five count.

The LFA fishes every Thursday during the month on two different formats. The as described LFA twice monthly format where there are declared cash winners fishing for "Angler of the Year" points and plaques.
On the 1st and 3rd Thursdays members fish what we call "Hard Core" which follows the Major League Fishing TV show format where every fish you catch counts. Like MLF members we try to qualify for the semi-final that will be held in Nov by catching at least 6 LB in any of the qualifying tournaments' Also In Nov members those that have quailified are paired and the top 50% by weight will advance to the championship round when announced.
Winning members are rewarded with "Bass Fishing Innovations" plaques and a cash benefit.
Not all of our 50+ members fish every week or even both formats on a regular basis. We are seniors and fish when we have the time. But we do have a core group of about 30 that fish on a regular basis. And because we are mostly seniors we are adamant in making sure there is always two anglers in a boat. Both for safety and for sharing ,learning and making an enjoyable day of it.
Annual dues is $5 and tournaments are $15 with $12 paid back. There is an optional $5 lunker pool and an optional $10 big bag pool.
