A cloudy and cool August day brought out the anglers to fish in great weather. Topwater baits, soft plastics and jigs were the primary baits. A few reported some squarebill action but the topwater and jigs worked the best. At least that is what the husband/wife team of Randy and Kathy Robinson, Mt. Vernon, MO, reported and they should know. They had a 5 fish limit that weighed 14.89lbs with a 6.61 kicker. This earned the team 1st place.
Jim Davidson and Mike Ashbacher, both of Arma, KS, brought 5 to the scales that weighed 14.31lbs. This earned them 2nd place. They are sponsored by Lew’s, Mercury, Nitro, Pro’s Choice Marine, Pro Guide Batteries and War Eagle.
Calvin Phillips, Ava, MO and Cody Combs, Sparta, MO, used soft plastics to bring the 5 fish that hit the scales at 12.34 earning them 3rd place.
Rick Bowman, Mound City KS, and Jeff Moore, Fair Play, MO, brought in a largemouth that weighed 6.67lbs. This earned them the OZARKS CHEVROLET BIG BASS OF THE DAY.
Brad Jones, Valley Center , KS, fishing out of his 2015 FX20 Skeeter, caught 5 fish that weighed 11.24lbs. This earned Brad the Joe Bass Highest Finishing Skeeter Monies. Congrats to all see you next month back at Old State Park.
