“Lake Dardanelle is located in the central region of the ‘Natural Sate’ and, in addition to offering solid bass fishing, it’s pretty easy to get to,” says Tournament Director, A.J. Mcwhorter. “It’s a six-hour ride or less from Nashville, Dallas, St. Louis or Kansas City. In terms of the bass, there’s a solid population of fish measuring up to 20 inches, plus a decent number of lunkers on top of that. There’s also enough shoreline, weeds and structure here for anglers to use a variety of techniques. As usual, entrants will be competing for a cash payout of 10% of the field, and the top-three non-qualified anglers will earn a spot in our Tournament of Champions (T.O.C.) this November in Knoxville, Tennessee.
