Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | A bit dated but fished sep 11-13 in a tourney on the Minoqua chain and Tomahawk. Water temps were still 70-72. Good viz in all the lakes. Had 3 follows in the first hour. Moved 6 in the first day up to 42" +/-. And that was it. 101 anglers over three days only managed to put three fish on the board (34" min requirement). The three fish caught were 48.5" (Tomahawk), 48" (Tomahawk), and a 38.5" (Minoqua). Perch pattern kickin minnow drew three of my 6 follows while fishing deeper water (18-20') casting up shallow in to 5-8'. Natural subtle small to med sized buck tails on the other three. I was rather dumb founded about the lack of production of 101 anglers over three days. I realize this is not your typical highly competitive tourney with big money prizes with what Ill carefully call professional anglers, but rather a fund raising event with anglers of all types including a few of those better anglers. The temps dropped dramatically the day we left with several cold days/nights forecast for the days that followed. Not a lot to get you fired up but rest assured that the temps have dropped significantly which should help bump the action a bit. |
