The Bass Assassins Tournament Series just had their first long break of the year between tournaments. Anglers were able to reflect on their performances for the first quarter of the season. They looked back at where they are in the ranks and where they need to be. Don't let this break fool you into thinking they were taking it easy between tournaments. I spoke to several different anglers competing for the AOY Race and Classic contention recently. They used this extra time to look over maps of the area, get out on the water to do some scouting, ready tackle, and put game plans together for the 5th event of the season. Mother Nature has also thrown us another curve ball in weather but tournament director Chris Basey and the rest of the anglers have prepared accordingly. The tournament has been moved over to the East Pearl HWY 90 launch site for flooding and safety reasons. All of the anglers have prepared and put their game faces on for this event. Other local tournaments have been bringing in well over 12 lbs to the scales to land in the money. With another round of unstable weather for the latter half of the week should make this tournament pretty interesting come Sunday morning. This should be another shoot out and I would expect to see big bags being brought in to the scales, and leaderboard changes for the AOY Race.
