Bassmaster Central Open
Bass fishing pros are not looking forward to opening the Bassmaster Central Open season Feb. 9-11 on Lake Lewisville.
“Well, I’m excited about the chance at gaining a Classic berth, but otherwise there are other Central [Opens] I’m looking forward to more,” said Bassmaster Elite Series pro Mike McClelland. “Lewisville has some good fish in it, but it’s not one of Texas’ best lakes.”
The last time the tour was on Lewisville was last year and it took 45-15 to win.
The lake had been down almost six feet, but now is less than two feet low.
