The FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) tournament season will continue Saturday, May 18, with the T-H Marine FLW BFL South Carolina Division tournament on Lake Wylie. Up to 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000 respectively in the one-day tournament.
Fishing begins Saturday, May 18, 2019 at 6:30 am. Weigh-In is at 2:30 pm at Buster Boyd's Landing, 3990 Charlotte Highway, Lake Wylie, S.C. Event is hosted by the Rock Hill/York County Convention & Visitor's Bureau
The bass fishing on Lake Wylie is expected to be very good for South Carolina anglers. The majority of the bass should be postspawn, although there could be a few late stragglers still being found on the beds. Key areas will likely be found where shad are spawning and points where the bass head postspawn - usually 10 feet of water or less. Crankbaits, ChatterBaits, spinnerbaits and topwater lures are all expected to be used heavily by anglers in this event. Water clarity could play a role in this tournament - the lower lake is stained, while the upper lake has been clear on the main channel. Recent reports say the South Fork is still muddy. Fans following the action should expect a five-bass limit nearing 15 to 16 pounds to win this mid-May BFL event.
The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing - the BFL All-American. The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30-June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.
