The Walleye Federation

Stockton, MO. March 5, 2015 A good mix of anglers at Stockton Lake! “As we outlined in the press release about Stockton last week we were expecting 20-30 teams depending on the weather. Stated Dan Palmer MWC Senior Tournament director. “We knew when we schedule Stockton that it would not be a huge 1st time event but we wanted to expose MWC and our sponsors to new area and mix of anglers and we have.” The main ramp is ice free today at Orleans Trail Marina even after the recent record cold spell. All the sponsor support crews, Ranger, Lowrance and Mercury are here on site supporting the event and all the new faces. The field is a great mix of anglers competing not only for the MWC prize money but for the title of Missouri State Champions. The field is made up of faithful MWC teams from 10 states who braved the weather to come to Stockton. Included in the 22 boat field are; 2 past World Walleye Champions, 3 past MWC event winners and nearly half the field brand new anglers to MWC! Weigh ins are at 3:00pm CST each day Friday and Saturday at Orleans Trail Marina. Internet here lake side in the Ozarks Mountains is none! BUT we will update the leaderboard as much as we can and tape the weigh in and upload to MastersWalleyeCircuit.com as soon as we get to a signal! You can follow the weigh in leader-board and see the video of each day at MastersWalleyeCircuit.com! The first 50 kids at the weigh in tomorrow will receive a free rod and reel and a fishing clinic courtesy of NPAA!

There will be some MWC Circuit anglers travel down out of the frozen north country to this event, (if they can move enough snow to get thier boats out of storage!) No one knows right now how many will make the trip but a few have already registered for Stockton! It is a first time MWC event on a new lake WAY south for most of the traditional circuit anglers and it is very early in the year. MWC anglers only get to count 3 scores (out of 11 events nationwide) to qualfiy for the World Walleye Champinship, so MWC circuit anglers (you) do not have to fish all 11 events. We have found that most NEW first time outlining Masters Walleye Circuit events draw 25-45 teams. However, we wanted to sponsor an event on Stockton no matter if only 20 teams show up, it should be fun! AND we want to expand the MWC circuit anywhere there are walleye anglers willing to fish and we know there are some GREAT Walleye anglers in the MO, KY, AR, CO, KS and NE areas, TWF even has member walleye clubs in New Mexico and TEXAS! The fish do not know who is on the other end of the line! This is YOUR event, your path to big dollar events and your only path the the Cabela's National Team Championship on Milford Lake, KS in May or to the 2016 World Walleye Championship! Sign up at www.masterswalleyecircuit.com and show the world you can catch Walleye as well as anyone! Give the office a call if you have questions. 580.765.9031
