Hard Core Tournament – This a Major League Fishing (MLF) format (All Bass 10 inches and over count)
24 Members fished with a total of 50 Bass caught, including 2 over 5 lbs., and very low average limits.
With a full moon this last week, and extremely hot triple digit weather temperatures, and water
temperatures ranging from high 80’s to low 90 degrees, the fishing was very challenging. Many
anglers and co-anglers reported catching numerous bass under 10 inches, which do not count in
LFA sponsored tournaments.

All club tournaments are two-person catch and release tournaments with an angler and a co-angler per boat. Anglers compete against anglers and Co-Anglers compete against co-anglers.
LFA members are mostly retired anglers who can fish weekly tournaments each Thursday. Membership is open to all persons who are physically able to fish and function independently in a boat, whether alone, or as a team member during scheduled Thursday fishing tournaments.
