The 6th season of the Hobie Bass Open Series in on! Lets GO!!!
Round 2 of the Hobie BOS will visit one of the best fisheries in the country at one of the most advantageous times to catch the giants its known for. Even early season, the fishery presents our anglers with a variety of fishing opportunities. The lake offers shallow and deep water, with ample brush and vegetation. If you are looking for a true giant Texas bass or maybe even a TX Share-Lunker, and potentially the largest limit this series has ever seen, you’ll want to be in on this one!
