Story by Terrance Narveson
The Arkie Division BFL on Lake Ouachita this weekend was a battle of who could find biting fish. The bite on Ouachita was brutal to say the least and left everyone bewildered at the end of the day. It was Huey Applegate's day to win and a good way to start the season with a solid limit and a big pay day. Here's how the top 3 anglers caught their fish:
1st - Huey Applegate - 14.12lbs He was fishing down lake around the main lake points and grass focusing on the outside edge. He was throwing a rattle trap and a jig to get his fish.
2nd - Dennis Bean - 13.06lbs A jerkbait and a 7/16 Jewel Eakins' Jig were his main baits for his fish today. It was the Black/Blue Jewel Eakins jig that did most of the work for him. Dennis was fishing in the inside of the grass line in the lower lake area.
3rd - Mike Morton - 12.14lbs Fishing a spinnerbait slow around main lake islands is how Mike caught his fish and he only had 5 bites all day.
1st Place Co-Angler - Evan Webster - 11.01lbs Evan was fishing with Mike Morton doing the same thing. Dragging a spinnerbait around the islands.
