DON’T MISS YOUR SHOT AT WINNING THREE NITRO BOATS -

NBAA-Bass Fishing Tournament Championship Ohio River – The Bite is ON!

With the upcoming National Championship on the Ohio River just a couple of weeks away the reports are coming in that the fishing is really picking up. At a recent event out of Point Park, the site for this year’s NBAA National Championship the expectations were high and the anglers along with the fish did not disappoint. With a 2 day total of nearly 23 lbs to take top honors and nearly 18 lbs to break into the top 10, the bite is on and should only get better.
