Winds topped out at 25 MPH in temperatures this morning in the 40's. By late afternoon, things had improved with cloudy skies, less wind and temps near 60.

Location: north central wisconsin | Thanks for the report. Anyone care to share patterns? Reed bite on? Top? Spinners? Was Pike bay part of the tourney? |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Jason,
Paul reported that fish were caught on surface lures, spinnerbaits, bulldawgs, gliders and cranks. He said the patterns were so mixed that no one single technique stood out.

| Yes, Pike Bay was in the Tournament and had about 8 boats on it per day with a couple fish coming from there. In my observations for the week/weekend was that the shallow (reed/flats/rock) bite was not near as good as usual for this time of the year. There were a few agressive fish in the shallows but we saw considerably fewer than usual.
CONGATULATIONS to Ray and Rick Stawski !! We've gotten to visit with them a bit at each tournament this summer and they are great guys that are great anglers and were rewarded for the extra time that they put in prefishing. Way to go guys ! and Good Luck at Tonka next month.

| Rick is definitely a great guy ... he's not a half-bad gun dog trainer, either. I picked up my retriever from Rick's place last week before he left for the tourney. I guess the strategy he was talking to me about worked!

P.S. I highly recommend Rick as a gun dog trainer: http://www.finelineretrievers.com |
