PWT Anglers Name Bull Shoals Their New
Favorite Walleye Spot
Bull Shoals, Arkansas.....From the In-Fisherman Professional
Walleye
Trail stage, the sentiments voiced over and over by pro walleye anglers
was
the same, ³This is a great fishery and a great location for a
PWT
tournament.²
Day two leader Keith Kavajecz, Kaukauna, Wis., said,
³There¹s much more
to learn; I feel the surface has just been scratched. The fish
are here,
and most of us are finally figuring how this system works.²
His two day
total weight for 10 walleyes is 34 pounds. Bill Ortiz, Dodgeville,
Wis.
holds the second spot, and Gerrick McComsey, Pierre, SD, is within
four-tenths of a pound of Ortiz.
Brad Davis, Jackson, Wis. and Mike Gofron, Antioch,
Ill., round out the
top five, and both are within two pounds of Ortiz. The race is
tight, and
Kavajecz, a past PWT Championship winner, two-time PWT winner and three-time
Optima Top Gun winner, knows it will take a big final day catch to
win the
Mercury/Realtree Pro-Am.
Heading the amateur race, and ready to claim his
new Lund boat and
Mercury outboard is Roger Hackman, Harrison, Ark. He fished with
McComsey
on day one and Davis on day two. The top 40 amateurs win merchandise
prizes; the top 40 pros win cash, with nearly $300,000 being paid Friday.
Fishing the sprawling Bull Shoals Lake from Bull
Shoals Boat Dock, the
pros ventured out each day, fishing many creek arms, main-lake flats
and
shoreline areas. They have been concentrating in the 20 to 30
foot depths,
using a combination of tactics to snake night crawlers in front of
waiting
walleyes. With 82-degree surface water, bright skies and plenty
of
sunshine, the fish have maintained the same depth, despite a falling
reservoir. More than half are being released via the efforts
of the
Arkansas Game and Fish biologists on site. The remainder will
be cleaned,
frozen and distributed to local charities and food banks.
The specific tactics will be revealed from the PWT
stage at the
conclusion of Friday¹s weigh-in. Anglers will describe what
worked best,
where they fished, and depart Arkansas with many new friends and a
cadre of
well-informed walleye anglers. Weigh-in begins at 3 p.m.
Day two big fish went to pro Tommy Skarlis, Walker,
Minn. currently
leading the Angler of the Year race, and amateur partner Rick
Willet-Johnson, Omaha, Neb, with a 5.66-pounder. Day one saw
367 walleyes
cross the stage, and another 364 were caught today. A total of
37 limits
were weighed on day two; 39 on day one. The average fish is 2.83
pounds.
