NOTES:
Kerr Lake is expected to host another excellent day of bass fishing for anglers competing in this late-April BFL tournament. A variety of patterns will likely be seen. This past weekend, fishing isolated buck bushes in the backs of spawning pockets with a shakey-head rig, and a buzzbait produced the winning limit for BFL boater Keith Joyce. Working along wind-blown points with a jig, and fishing flats with a crankbait have also produced quality bites in past BFL events held on the lake this time of year.
A five-bass limit nearing 20 pounds should be enough to take top honors at this BFL North Carolina Division derby.
The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they will compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American.
The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30 – June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.
