Missouri Division Number 126 of the American Fishing
tour heads to Stockton Lake this weekend. Fishing
on the lake is reported as still slow due to cold
water temperature (38-40), but the weather forecast
is indicating conditions that will allow those
water temps to rise this week. Twenty to 30 anglers
are expected to compete at this qualifying event.
Launching out of Hawker Point public boat ramp,
these anglers are fishing for both cash and points.
The points help the anglers to qualify for the
American Fishing Tour National Championship.
There is a lot at stake for the Division 126 weekend
anglers. One angler from division 126 will advance
to the Angler of the Year Final Round. The top
angler from each division that has fished 4 one-day
and a two-day in that division will get a one-day
practice, one-day tournament shot at fully loaded
Triton/Mercury Boat Package in September.
“Stockton is a great fishery”, said
Becky Minor, ABA Division 126 Director. “It
was really hot last year and a lot of anglers are
anxious to start the season this year”, concluded
Minor.
Anglers can register onsite at the event at 6:00
a.m. There will be a safety and pairing briefing
and launch will be at 7:00 a.m. Weigh-in will start
at about 3:15 p.m. at Hawker Point public boat
ramp. Visit www.centralmidwestbass.com for updated
