High water on Norfork was not a hindrance for the anglers fishing the kick-off of the Mid-Central Buddy Winter Bass Tournaments.
Don Bales from Bakersfield and Ron Fox from Caulfield brought a five fish limit to the scales for a first place finish as well as the Big Bass of the day. They caught 20 keepers on 5/8 oz jig and crankbaits. They fished in the creeks on the north end of the lake. Don and Ron took home $1000 for their first place finish and $460 for their 4.38 pound Big Bass. GREAT JOB!!!
Second Place went to Scotty Fox of Dora and Brian Wilson of Pottersville. They caught 5 keepers on main lake bluffs with crankbaits in 10 feet of water. Their pay for a day of fishing was $600.
Randy Barnes from Nixa and Ronnie Curry from Ava finished in third place with 12.71 pounds. They caught 15 keepers in Big Creek with PJs jigs and a critter craw in 12 20 feet of water. Randy and Ronnie took home a check for $460.
