The 2020 Anglers in Action season kickoff went off with a bang at Table Rock Lake on Saturday. A total of 128 teams arrived at the Port of Kimberling Resort & Marina early Saturday morning, ready to hit the water and hammer some bass on Table Rock Lake.
The fishing has been hot at the Rock lately, and continued during this event. Over 70 teams brought more than 10lb. bags across the AiA scales Saturday, and 20 of those were over 15lbs. Two fish over 7 lbs. came across the stage, with the largest locking in on 7.30 lbs. All bass were placed into the AFTCO Bass Bus after being weighed, and then transported back to the lake healthy and revived to be caught another day.
The team of Eric Blevins and Dustin Blevins started the season with a bang, slamming 23.68 lbs. on the scales to capture first place by four pounds. Dustin and Eric reported catching around 15 keepers throughout the day, using a-rigs, spoons & ice jigs around standing timber along the river channel up the White River. Eric & Dustin won a total of $4,730.
