Early Thursday morning, the stiff wind was an indicator of an advancing storm. A spring thunder storm warming was issued forcing BASS Officials to postpone the first day of the Elite tournament on Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas. Instead of reducing the tournament to 3 days from the normal 4 day event, the entire tournament will be pushed back one full day. Friday will be Day 1 and Monday, not Sunday, will be the final day. Most anglers were glad to wait out the dangerous weather in hopes of fantastic catches for the rest of the tournament.

The Bass Pro Shops Lake Simcoe Open, hosted by the Aurora Bassmasters capitalizes on one of the world’s finest smallmouth fisheries. As good as Orillia’s Couchiching is ... Simcoe is bigger and so too are it’s smallmouth bass.
