WINONA STATE UNIVERSITY WINS FLW COLLEGE FISHING CENTRAL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ON CARLYLE LAKE

WINONA STATE UNIVERSITY WINS FLW COLLEGE FISHING CENTRAL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ON CARLYLE LAKE
 [print_link]
CARLYLE, Ill. (Oct. 4, 2015) – The Winona State University team of Cade Laufenberg of La Crosse, Wisconsin, and Wyatt Stout of Winona, Minnesota, won the FLW College Fishing Central Conference Championship on Carlyle Lake Sunday with a two-day total of four bass weighing 12 pounds, 6 ounces. The victory earned the club $4,000 and qualified the team for the 2016 FLW College Fishing National Championship.
The tournament was extremely tough for the college anglers – only eight teams managed to weigh in a fish on the first day of competition and advance to day two. Only one team – Illinois State University – managed to catch a fish on the second day of competition.
“This is a big win for me,” said Laufenberg, a senior majoring in Individual Studies. “If we didn’t qualify for the National Championship, this would’ve been my last tournament as a collegiate angler.”
“Coming into this tournament, our main goal was to qualify to fish for the national title,” said Stout, a junior majoring in Biology. “If we didn’t produce, we were done. That was the mindset we stayed in throughout the weekend.”
Laufenberg said the duo originally planned on fishing riprap Saturday but changed their strategy when they stumbled onto a ripe creek point on the southwest corner of the lake.
“We looked at our graphs and noticed there were a bunch of submerged stumps along a drop, about 50 yards from shore,” said Laufenberg. “It looked like one of those perfect spots where we figured fish would migrate to.”
The duo said they dragged a green-pumpkin Lethal Weapon Jig rigged with a Zoom Speed Craw and a brown and black-colored jig with a PowerBait Chigger Craw.
“Every time we found a piece of cover like a log we made 10 or 12 casts to it from different angles,” said Stout. “We milked the area for everything it was worth and caught our four stringer fish fairly quick.”
The team said they followed the exact same pattern on Sunday but were unable to catch any keepers.
Because only eight teams caught fish, only eight teams will advance to the College Fishing National Championship from the Central conference.
The top eight teams that advanced to the 2016 FLW College Fishing National Championship are:
  1st: Winona State University – Wyatt Stout, Winona, Minn., and Cade Laufenberg, La Crosse, Wis., four bass, 12-6, $4,000 Club Scholarship
  2nd: Illinois State University – Bryce Wegman, Normal, Ill., and Taylor Umland, Gridley, Ill., three bass, 7-7, $2,000 Club Scholarship
  3rd: Southern Illinois University – Steve Seiler, Mokena, Ill., and Kyle Wagner, Waterloo, Ill., three bass, 6-11, $1,000 Club Scholarship
  4th: Kansas State University – Kyle Alsop, Overland Park, Kan., and Taylor Bivins, Manhattan, Kan., two bass, 4-6, $1,000 Club Scholarship
  5th: Kansas State University – Quinn Fowler, Olathe, Kan., and Dylan McKee, Abilene, Kan., two bass, 4-1, $1,000 Club Scholarship
  6th: University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point – Samuel Sobieck, New Prague, Minn., and Connor Graham, Stevens Point, Wis., one bass, 3-3
  7th: University of Wisconsin-Platteville – Grant Ehlenfeldt, New Richmond, Wis., and Brett Stanek, Elroy, Wis., one bass, 2-4
  8th: Kansas State University – Lance Maldonado, Junction City, Kan., and Ethan Dhuyvetter, Manhattan, Kan., one bass, 1-12

Watson Earns Classic Berth For His Win At Table Rock

Watson Earns Classic Berth For His Win At Table Rock

[print_link]

BRANSON, Mo.—Missouri pro James Watson can definitely relate to one of the late Yogi Berra’s great quotes after winning the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open #3 presented by Allstate on the final day at Table Rock Lake.

It was definitely “déjà vu all over again” for Watson, who used a topwater pattern to win a Professional Angler Association (PAA) tournament on his home waters in September 2013, and then he relied on about the same pattern to win the pro division of the Central Open with a three-day total of 46 pounds, 4 ounces. Despite a slow start, he caught his heaviest limit of bass Saturday weighing 16-1.

“I was struggling to get a bite before noon,” Watson said. “It was the slowest morning I’ve had, but I just kept winging it. I followed the wind and looked for the right kind of rock and just kept plugging away.”

During all three days of competition, Watson had to play games with the wind. On Thursday he caught all of his fish in the wind, but the second day he had to find calm water to trigger bites.

The Nixa, Mo., pro relied on two topwater lures — the Luck-E-Strike Frantic Frog (a toad-style bait) and the River2Sea Whopper Plopper —to catch most of his fish. “I was running as much bank as I could and trying not to run the same bank twice,” he said. “I would try to find the biggest rock I could.”

Watson’s victory secured a berth for him in the 2016 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro at Grand Lake in Oklahoma March 4-6. He also earned a top prize of a Skeeter/Yamaha valued at $45,000 and $7,918 in cash.

Jacob Wheeler of Indianapolis, Ind., caught the largest limit (17-9) of the tournament Saturday to move into second place with 42-12. Wheeler also relied on a topwater pattern as he ran both steep and flat banks. “The second day I figured out they wanted an (Accent) Game Changer buzzbait and a (Rapala) Skitter Walk with a shaved-off side that made it translucent,” he said.

The rest of the Top 5 pro division finishers were: Rick Clunn, Ava., Mo., in third place with 40-15; Joseph Brantley, Willard, Mo., fourth, 38-5; and Justin Margraves, Diana, Texas, fifth, 35-8.

Brien Vaughn of Kinmundy, Ill., won the co-angler division with 20-8 and took home the first-place prize of a Nitro/Mercury boat-and-motor combo valued at $30,000. Vaughn caught all of his fish on a topwater prop bait and a swimbait.

Elite Series pro Rick Clunn won the $750 Bass Pro Shops Big Bass Award on the pro side by catching a 5-pound, 13-ounce largemouth. Jason Newberry also weighed in a 5-13 largemouth to earn the $250 Bass Pro Shops Big Bass Award on the co-angler side.

James Watson received the Livingston Lures Leader Award of $250 for finishing as the top pro on the second day. Finishing as Friday’s leader on the co-angler side, Jason Newberry received a Livingston Lures gift pack worth $250.

The Allstate Good Hands, Great Day award was given to anglers in both divisions who advanced the most places up the leaderboard from the first day to the second day. Bassmaster Elite Series pro Josh Bertrand collected $250 by jumping 67 places from 77th to 10th. After not catching any fish on Thursday, co-angler Derek Mangold picked up $150 by climbing 72 spots to finish in 28th.

The $500 Power-Pole Captains Cash award went to Watson.

Wheeler took home the A.R.E. Top Angler Award of $500.

DAYTONA STATE COLLEGE WINS FLW COLLEGE FISHING SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ON PICKWICK LAKE

DAYTONA STATE COLLEGE WINS FLW COLLEGE FISHING SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP ON PICKWICK LAKE
[print_link]
                                                                                          
FLORENCE, Ala. (Sept. 27, 2015) – The Daytona State College team of brothers James and Thomas Oltorik, both of Deland, Florida, won the FLW College Fishing Southeastern Conference Championship on Pickwick Lake Sunday with a two-day total of eight bass weighing 35 pounds, 2 ounces. The victory earned the club $4,000 and qualified the team for the 2016 FLW College Fishing National Championship.
After bringing a 25-pound, 14-ounce five-bass limit to the scales on Saturday, the Daytona State brothers had a commanding lead and started day two with a 5-pound, 1-ounce advantage. However, lake conditions changed drastically on Sunday and the duo only managed to catch three keepers. It turned out to be enough as they narrowly edged Clemson University by a slim 5-ounce margin.
“Yesterday we caught all of our fish in a 100-yard stretch of grass that we had found in practice,” said older brother Thomas, a senior majoring in Business. “They were pulling water and there was quite a bit of current, which was very important. We caught eight good keepers, and left the area around 1:30, to try to save some fish for day two. Today the water levels had dropped a foot and the conditions were totally different. We caught quite a few fish that were short, but we only managed three keepers.”
The Daytona State club said that they caught the majority of their fish flipping the grass with a Texas-rigged junebug blue- or watermelon-colored Bitter’s B.F.M.
Saturday was a lot of fun,” said James, a sophomore also majoring in Business. “We caught a seven and a half-pounder and a six and a half-pounder within five minutes of each other, around 1:45. We were definitely nervous this afternoon, but we stayed in the same area all day long and saw a lot of the other teams doing a lot of running. We knew that the conditions were really tough, so we were hoping that our day one lead was going to be enough to hang on and get the win. We’re pumped that it was.”
The top 10 teams that advanced to the 2016 FLW College Fishing National Championship are:
  1st: Daytona State College – James Oltorik and Thomas Oltorik, both of Deland, Fla. (eight bass, 35-2, $4,000)
  2nd: Clemson University – Ross Burns, Columbia, S.C., and Isaac Nesbitt, Aiken, S.C. (10 bass, 34-13, $2,000)
  3rd: Georgia Highlands College – Eric Fisher, Kennesaw, Ga., and Jake Akin, Powder Springs, Ga. (10 bass, 32-14, $1,000)
  4th: University of North Alabama – Dawson Lenz, Peachtree City, Ga., and Andrew Tate, Florence, Ala. (10 bass, 31-3, $1,000)
  5th: Auburn University – Mitchell Jennings, Auburn, Ala., and Timmy Ward, Sylacauga, Ala. (10 bass, 29-15, $1,000)
  6th: Gadsden State Community College – Josh Oliver, Anniston, Ala., and Colby Smith, Jacksonville, Ala. (seven bass, 28-9)
  7th: Western Carolina University – Tyler Thomasson, Whittier, N.C., and Josh Cannon, Waxhaw, N.C. (10 bass, 27-10)
  8th: Auburn University – Ethan Hayes and Garrett Roberts, both of Cullman, Ala. (10 bass, 27-1)

Bass boats are the biggest single investment a serious angler will make at one shot. When I chose Triton Boats upon making the Bassmaster Elite Series I looked at their resale value in addition to all their on-the-water features and advancements. I also do a couple things to make sure I protect that investment; cover it as often as possible with a cover from Empire Covers (www.empirecovers.com) and insure it with Boater’s Insurance Agency (www.boatins.com).

Covering my boat protects me from four main threats to its cleanliness and long-term value.

1 – Precipitation (hard to the carpet)
2 – Sunlight (also hard on the carpet)
3 – Road grime (hard on everything)
4 – Thieves (they will choose an uncovered boat over a covered one more often than not)

Empire offers several varieties of cover for various boater needs. Some are better for trailering compared to others for winter storage. Boaters can select the cover that best suits their needs online at www.empirecovers.com/boat-covers.aspx. I think you’ll find they not only offer great protection but also save you hundreds of dollars at checkout. Empire Covers are only sold online which allows them to offer direct-to-consumer pricing.

Boat insurance is an often-overlooked part of tournament fishing that is really important to both your piece of mind and wallet. Research boat insurance companies before you make your decision. The biggest question you need to ask is whether or not you’re actually covered for tournament fishing. Read the fine print on your existing policy to see if you’re covered for going over 55 miles per hour in your boat and if you’re covered if you fish tournaments as part of your living. A lot of companies don’t provide the coverage you really need for tournament fishing beyond weekend warrior status.

In addition to covering you for tournament fishing, Boater’s Insurance also offers several key coverages not offered by a standard home/auto insurance company including:

1 – 5 Year total loss replacement coverage
2 – $0 deductible upon request
3 – Unlimited commercial emergency towing on or off the water
4 – $10,000 personal effects coverage
5 – Agreed value coverage on trailer
6 – 10 Years no depreciation
7 – Tournament fee reimbursement
8 – No surcharge for high horsepower engines
9 – Fast track claims service

I highly suggest you take a look at the coverage options from Empire Covers by visiting their site and the coverage options from Boater’s Insurance by giving them a call at (800) 344-7488 and let them know Brandon Card sent you.

Watson Takes Command At Bassmaster Open On The Rock

[print_link]

Branson, Mo.—As super sleuth Sherlock Holmes would always say, “Elementary, my dear Watson.”

Nixa, Mo., pro angler James Watson would have made Holmes proud Friday as he solved the mystery of Table Rock Lake’s tough bass fishing and took the lead at the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open #3 presented by Allstate. Watson caught a five-fish limit weighing 15 pounds, 14 ounces for a two-day total of 30-3.

“I had to find calm water today,” said the 42-year-old Watson. “I couldn’t get bit in the wind today, but yesterday I did get bit in the wind. So today I had to shift gears and find the calmest water I could to get bit.”

Having fished the lake his whole life, Watson understands the many faces of his home waters. “That’s Table Rock. It’s a crapshoot. If I am not catching them a certain way, I know I need to make a couple of adjustments to get that one clue. I got the clue this morning and I just stayed with it.”

During practice, Watson caught 15 to 16 pounds a day on multiple lures and patterns. The local angler also found out he needed to do a lot of running and gunning. “Today I fished nothing that I fished yesterday,” he said. “And tomorrow, guess what? (I’ll fish) all new stuff.”

Climbing into second place with 26 pounds was Justin Margraves of Diana, Texas. “I found those fish yesterday kind of early in the morning covering a lot of water, and I came back to them yesterday afternoon and filled the rest of my limit,” said the 32-year-old Margraves. “Today I sat there and stayed there so I had a limit a lot sooner.”

The Lake Fork guide is relying on one lure and one spot, which he believes contains plenty of fish. “I lost three or four really good ones today and there are a lot of fish in that area,” he said. “So I think what I got will hold up.”

In the pro division, Joseph Brantley of Willard, Mo., and Bassmaster Elite Series pro Rick Clunn of Ava, Mo., are tied for third place with 25-12; and Jacob Wheeler of Indianapolis, Ind., sits in fifth place with 25-3.

Jason Newberry maintained the lead in the co-angler division with 15-12, but he caught only two keepers Friday weighing 4-9. The Nixa, Mo., angler believes he has “beaten his fish up” after fishing in a championship tournament last week and relying on the same spot for this event. “I have fished a set of docks, and I think I have caught 28 keepers off that set of docks in three days, so I think it is pretty much done.” He caught his fish today on a football jig and a swimbait.

Watson will take home the Livingston Lures Leader Award of $250 for leading the tournament on the second day. Newberry will take home a Livingston Lures prize pack worth $250 for leading the co-angler division Friday.

The Allstate Good Hands, Great Day award of $250 will go to Josh Bertrand for climbing the most in points from the first day to the second day. Derek Mangold takes home $150 for winning the same award on the co-angler side.

Saturday’s launch will be held at 7 a.m. at the Table Rock State Park Marina. The weigh-in will move to the Branson Landing Water Fountain near the Bass Pro Shops at 1 Bass Pro Drive in Branson at 4 p.m. CT.

Host for the event is the Branson/Lakes Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (www.explorebranson.com).

OVERVIEW: Fishing will be good this month! Water temperature will be in the 60’s. Best times will be early morning, late afternoon and overcast days. Fishing the past few weeks has been great! All the rain has cooled the water and added oxygen making the fish become very active. Stripers and bass have been surfacing during and around the full moon.

Largemouth Bass– Fishing for largemouth bass will be good this month. Best lures will be jigs, drop shot rigs, top water lures, spinner baits, Texas rigged plastic worms and shaky heads. Most largemouth bass will be caught in coves and creeks, rock piles, brush, humps, stumps and docks. Best depths will be from the surface to 18 feet deep. Most largemouth bass will move to their fall patterns this month . Rocks, creeks and brush are key factors to finding bass this month. Stained water and shade movements will also be keys to catching bass this month. Please practice catch and release.

Smallmouth Bass- Fishing should be fair. Best areas will be humps and main channel points. Best lures will be crank baits, tubes, jigs and top water lures. Best areas will be in the mid to the lower sections of the lake. Most smallmouth bass will be suspended this month around schools of baitfish. Cloudy days with light winds are good times to try your luck! Light line and smaller lures will increase your chances to catch smallmouth bass.

Striped Bass- Fishing should be good this month. Stripers will be caught in the mid to lower sections of the lake and the large creeks. Best lures will be top water lures and Zoom flukes fished on 3/8 to 3/4 oz. lead heads. Vertical jigging is one of the better ways to catch stripers this month. The best depths will be from the surface to 80 feet deep. Live bait will work this month. Look for schools of stripers surfacing. Most fish will be suspended and will constantly be on the move.

Crappie- Fishing for crappie will be good this month. They will be found 5 to 15 ft. deep. Crappie will suspend around docks this month and deep fallen tree tops near deep water. Small live minnows and 1½ to 2 inch tubes or shad shaped plastic lures fished on 1/32 to 1/6 oz. lead heads will work best to catch crappie this month.

TIP OF THE Month: Most species of fish will relate to the movement of bait fish this month. October is usually a good month to catch stripers. You can also hear reports about local fishing on the website: The Bass Cast. Make sure your running lights are on after dark! Make sure you wear your life jacket. You can never be too careful when boating! Remember to be courteous and obey all the boating laws. Please practice catch and release. Take a kid fishing!

Dillard Delivers The Goods At Table Rock Open

BRANSON, Mo. — It was a slow day of fishing on Table Rock Lake for most of the competition, but Jim Dillard got off to a fast start to take the lead in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open #3 presented by Allstate.

After a slow practice, Dillard’s first three bites on Thursday were 4-pounders that helped put him in first place in the pro division with a five-fish limit weighing 16 pounds, 15 ounces. “The day went way better than I expected,” he said. “It turned into a good day.”

The West Monroe, La., angler said he saw one of the 4-pounders he caught Thursday during practice earlier this week. He also saw some more 4-pounders today that he missed. “They would follow my bait, so I know there are more in the area,” he said.

Dillard hopes the cooler weather predicted for this week will turn the fish on as the tournament progresses. “That would be nice,” he said. “I am fishing a little shallow and a little deep. It just depends on what I run to. I am basically running from waypoint to waypoint from around here (on the lower lake) to uplake.”

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Tommy Biffle hopes to make the 2016 GEIGO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro in his home state of Oklahoma by winning this Open. “I am going to be sick if I am not (in the Classic),” he said. “If I don’t make it, I will probably schedule a trip to Afghanistan or something.” After catching a 14-12 limit Thursday and moving into second place, Biffle might be able to avoid that Afghanistan trip.

The Wagoner, Okla., pro caught plenty of keepers in practice, but the cold front that passed through this week slowed down his fishing. “I thought today was going to be better than what it was,” he said. “I just didn’t get as many keeper bites as I had been getting in practice.”

Biffle noted he caught seven keepers relying on one pattern, but he believes Table Rock bass are in transition between summer and fall patterns now. “There are fish out deep and up shallow, and they don’t know where they want to be yet,” he said.

The remaining pros in the Top 5 are: James Watson, Nixa, Mo., in third place with a 14-5 limit; Allen Rude, Pauls Valley, Okla., fourth, 13-14; and James Elam, Tulsa, Okla., in fifth with 13-4.

Nixa, Mo., railroad conductor Jason Newberry relied on his experience on his home lake to catch three keepers weighing 11-3 and take the lead in the co-angler division. “I have spent a lot of time on the water here the last two weeks,” he said. Newberry caught most of his keepers early in the morning on a football jig and tube bait.

Competition will resume Friday morning at 7 a.m. out of Table Rock State Park Marina, and weigh-in will take place in the same location at 3 p.m. Saturday’s weigh-in will move to the Branson Landing Water Fountain near the Bass Pro Shops at 1 Bass Pro Drive in Branson, Mo.

The Branson/Lakes Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (www.explorebranson.com) is hosting this event.
