BFL South Carolina Division to host event on Lake Wateree

Variety of methods could produce results

CAMDEN, S.C. – The Walmart Bass Fishing League is headed to Lake Wateree May 14 for the fourth of five stops in the South Carolina Division. As many as 400 boaters and co-anglers will compete for top awards of up to $9,500 and $3,000, respectively.

“There should be a good topwater bite then,” said Damiki pro Bryan Thrift of Shelby, N.C. “Of course, you could also catch them around docks with a jig or a worm or just offshore with a crankbait.

“Really, you can catch them any way you want to,” Thrift added.

Takeoffs and weigh-ins will be at Clearwater Cove Marina located at 2029 Baron Decalb in Camden, S.C. Takeoff is scheduled for 6:30 a.m. while weigh-in will begin at 2:30 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public.

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