FLW Fantasy Fishing revamped for 2014

Fantasy football, fantasy baseball…how about fantasy fishing? FLW Fantasy Fishing has some of the largest prizes in bass fishing, This year FLW is touting that it’s even easier to play. The game is free to play and FLW members receive access to fantasy tools that greatly aid in angler selection.

The 2014 version of FLW Fantasy Fishing emphasizes strategy. Players build a roster of 10 pro anglers at predetermined values within a $200 salary cap for every Walmart FLW Tour stop. The value of each angler will change for each event. Players have to adjust, not just to the fishery as in the past, but also to the valuation of each angler. The new format will force players to choose more than just the local favorites and perennial top finishers; the best-performing players will dig deep for high-value anglers.

Scoring is based on the performance of your roster each day of the tournament. Points are variable, so the points you have at the end of Day 1 will differ from your points at the end of Day 2, 3, and 4. Final points are awarded based on the actual finish of your roster in the tournament, with bonus points awarded for any angler on your roster that makes the top-10 cutoff.

Fifty prizes are awarded at each of the tournaments, including a $5,000 top prize. In addition, 10 cumulative prizes, including the $10,000 grand prize, will be awarded to the top scoring teams from all seven tournaments combined.

Players can view changes, examine angler valuations and select their roster at www.FantasyFishing.com.

The fishing is just starting to get good both on the water and in the world of fantasy fishing.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 67 degrees; 0.33 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on top waters early along rocky shorelines and sandy flats around coves. Watch for birds on the banks and fish the direction the birds are moving up and down the rocks. Live bait is still very effective fishing ledges and humps near the river channels in 35-45 feet of water. The shad spawn is on and catching will only get better. Crappie fishing is good near boat docks and on structure also using electronics to locate roaming fish in 12-15 feet of water. Glo and milk are colors of choice with a crappie nibble tip. Seeing females in the creeks 2-5 feet of water as well. Catfishing is getting better on cut shad and prepared baits anchored on ledges in 40-50 feet of water a few reels off the bottom near rocky banks. Slip cork with a cut shad down the bluffs are producing channel cats preparing to spawn as well. Bass fishing is good using top waters early, spooks or closed face glide baits and fish crawl baits later. Fish are roaming near the beds and hitting white chatter baits as well. Live shad down the bluffs are producing numbers with the occasional big fish off the rocks in 5-8 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are excellent with limits coming on topwaters along the bank early in the morning watching for Egrets. Then switch to swimbaits on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad are spawning along the banks. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
