Fishing for the monster bass

The Mountain Lakes Convention and Visitors Bureau is out with a reminder of the bountiful holdings that Oconee County waterways have for the angler. The CVB has arranged for a fishing show to be filmed this weekend on Lake Jocassee and has signed a new deal with the Bass Fishing League for at least one new tournament, maybe two, next year. Filming for a Fishing University show to air on the national Outdoors Channel will take place Friday through Monday on Jocassee. Fishing University stars Charlie Ingram and Ray Brazier are bring their show to town. FLW pro Matt Lowe of Westminster will be featured. The CVB’s Ken Sloan invites everyone to a meet-and-greet with fishing stars Friday night at 7:30 at South Cove Park near Seneca. It’s free to families, and those attending may ask fishing pros for tips about bass fishing.
