This year the Central Division will be traveling to a couple of great lakes. The division will make its way to Bull Shoals for the first regional qualifier. This should be a great tournament as Bull Shoals has had some excellent spawns the past couple of years. With the tournament being held in early March the weather could get nasty forcing anglers to adapt.
The second stop of the season will be at Lake of the Ozarks in the third week of March. This should be prime time for that lake. There should be some big sacks weighed in of pre-spawn bass. Look for the jerkbait bite to really play a big part in this tournament unless we get a bunch of rain that dirties up the lake.
The third stop of the season will be at Lake Quachita in April. During this tournament the bass could be in all stages of the spawn. The moon phase will come into play in this tournament. If we get a full moon or a new moon during the tournament there will likely be bass up on the beds. Everything is going to come down to what kind of water temperatures we have as well. The bass could be more post spawn if things heat up. It’s a great lake and we are hitting it at a good time of the year so there should be some fish caught.
The final qualifier will be at Kentucky Lake in May. Last year the fish were spawning or were post spawn. The fishing was tough for many competitors for finding keeper sized bass. The bass might be spread out forcing competitors to cover a lot of water in order to get their 6 keepers for a limit. Since the lake is so open wind can really play into how far anglers can run on this lake. Kentucky Lake is one of the best lakes in the country though so there should be some fish weighed in.
