Lake Fork Anglers MLF Format Results for 8.20.20 out of the SRA park. - 08/20/20 09:44 PM
The weather today was great, started out fairly cool and stayed that way until about 11 AM. Then it got hot. Light winds to boot but out of the East. And you all know what that means. Lake Fork was just plain stingy today. The fish were caught on wacky rigs, little rattle traps, drop shots and t-rigs.
Hard Core is what we call this tournament, but it follows the Major League Fishing format where every fish you catch over 10" counts. With Lake Fork partitioned into three sections and the section rotates each week throughout the year. Today section 3 was scheduled. LFA Members will qualify for the semi-final in November by catching 6 lb. in one tournament and attending at least 6 tournaments. Or fish 80% of the tournaments.
All the bass are measured, recorded and released on the spot except for pictures taking of which there is a lot because of all the big fish we catch. Not bragging. It's Lake Fork man! But not this week.
