Double Header At Greer's Ferry
ATHENS, Ala. – The Arkansas Division of the 2019 Bass Pro Shops Open Series presented by American Bass Anglers will fish a doubleheader this weekend at Greer’s Ferry. High water caused an earlier seasonal event to be postponed so anglers can compete in two tournaments this weekend. One tournament will be held on Saturday July 27 and the second on Sunday July 28, 2019.
Greer’s Ferry is located at the southern edge of the Ozark Mountains just north of Little Rock, Arkansas. The lake is known or it’s pristine shoreline and beautiful scenery of the mountains. The Greer’s Ferry is actually two lakes connected with a gorge called the Narrows and has over 40,500 acres and 350 miles of shoreline. Currently the lake is around 470 feet in elevation which is 8 feet above normal pool but 17 feet below what is considered flood stage.
The Bass Pro Shops Open Series Anglers will launch at safe daylight out of Devils Fork Rec Site, located at 239 Lakeshore Drive, Greer’s Ferry, AR. The tournament weigh-in will be held in the afternoon starting at 2:00p.m.
