Walmart BFL Piedmont Division to visit Jordan Lake

FUQUAY VARINA, N.C. – The Walmart Bass Fishing League is headed to Jordan Lake April 9 for the second of five stops in the Piedmont Division. As many as 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000, respectively.

“Jordan is a good lake with lots of fish,” said Chevy pro Bryan Thrift. “There is a little bit of color in the lake and I don’t think the spawn should impact the fishing. I would stay shallow and throw a jig with a spinnerbait.”

Takeoff and weigh-in will be at New Hope Overlook on W.H. Jones Road in Fuquay Varina, N.C. Takeoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. while weigh-in will begin at 3 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public.

Bass Fishing League competition is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers offering bigger prizes to those who qualify for the regional championships and those who make it to one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American presented by Chevy. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the EverStart Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.
