Day 1 BFL Regional Dardanelle

Posted by ken on October 28, 2016

Day 1 is in the books and from talking to my buddies that fished yesterday the lake seemed to fish as tough as it always does this time of year, however surprisingly there were over 30 limits weighed on the boater side, and not at all surprisingly only 3 on the co side. Leading the boater side Jeffrey Smith out of...wait for it, Knob Noster, Missouri. I really hoped that the name was a play on Knob Monster and that there were tons of Bigfoot in the area, but alas Noster is Latin for "our", so it's "Our Knob", the hills in the area being the Knob, totally boring. Don't know  the guy, but he has a couple BFL wins, this year as a boater and a win at the Costa level as a co-angler interestingly on Dardanelle last year. He has a big lead but it's three days and Dardanelle will just get tougher everyday, will see if he holds up under the pressure. Surprising mixture of locals and guys that drove a ways in the top 20, couple KenSmithFishing notable buddies, Toledo guide and damn handsome man Stephen Johnston (running Humminbirds!)  in 9th with 12-12, George Clooney look-a-like and Lew's pro Dicky Newberry right there poised to make top 12 cut for tomorrow sitting in 11th with 11-15, BFL Cowboy AOY from Bossier City Nick LeBrun with 4 quality fish (hey, it's Dardanelle) sitting 17th with 11-0, and Okie stick, and unfortunately Oklahoma football fan, Chris Jones hanging around at 18th with 10-14. Like to see all those fishing tomorrow, so good vibes their way.
