The Lake Fork Anglers fish the Major League Fishing TV show format where every fish you catch bigger than 10" count.

They fish this once a month except months with 5 Thursdays and then they fish twice.

Members can qualify for the semi-final by catching 6 LB + in any of the qualifying tournaments. There are actually 3 ways to qualify.

In October all of those who have qualified will fish in the semi-final will be paired in a draw. On the morning of a section of Lake Fork will be drawn and that is where they will all fish. (9,000 acres) and first ten to catch 8 LB will qualify for the final in November.

The results on the 6/15 qualify tournament are::

The wind was blowing when we started at 5:45 AM (and it was light out) and still blowing at noon.

Boaters:

Congrats to Dennis Bubinas of Yantis for his win on the boater side with 20.94 on 9 bass with a 6.89 lunker.

Second place went to Bob Roberts of Longview with 20.47 on 10 bass and he had the lunker for the day a real nice 7.95.

Galen Smith of Alba came in 3rd with 14.79 on 5 bass with a 6.64 lunker.


On the Co-angler side John Markos of Paris won with 9.89 on 3 bass with the 5.71 lunker.

2nd place went to Mac McDaniel of Sulphur Springswith 7.94 on 3 bass with a 3.78 lunker.

Cheryl Allen of Emory came in 3rd with 4 bass for 6.8 with a 3.02 lunker and she qualified for the semi-final at last.

To date 16 Boaters and 12 co-anglers have qualified for the semi-final.

Anglers fishing this format must already be members of the LFA (annual dues is $5) and by the time of the semifinal have fished the required 8 (of 25) regular LFA tournaments.

Anyone with an interest in bass fishing at Lake Fork may join the club as long as you are able to fish on Thursday daytime.
