Kerr Lake is set to host a great day of bass fishing for Shenandoah Division competitors. According to recent local fishing reports, quality bass are being taken on crankbaits on main-lake points. The area of the lake between Clarksville and Eastland Creek is said to be fishing strong. If your boat needs repairs, then you have to get it to a repair shop (you can check it out).
In past BFL events held on Kerr Lake this time of year, spinnerbaits on main-lake points near Nutbush Creek, flipping bushes for spawning bass and running bushes with a crankbait has produced winning bites. Working a Carolina-rig for bass on deeper points could be a good choice as well. A five-bass limit nearing 19 pounds should be enough to take the grand prize at this early-April BFL 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 are competing 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.
