Gander Mountain Tournament


Fished the tournament with Doug S. on Airport Bay. Temperature this morning was 25 degrees and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 30s. The wind was light out of the west and we had sunshine again today. We were hoping to fish from the same holes that we used yesterday but someone beat us to them so we set up right next to him. Lesson learned, next time we will cover our holes up so no one can find them. We caught a few fish here and then I decided to hole hop for a while. Hit about 25 holes without any luck so I came back to our original spot and spent the rest of the day there. Changed lures a few times and then we started to catch some nice fish. The best setup was a chartreuse Ken's spoon tipped with a minnow head. From the reports we had, the fishing was slow for everyone except one kid who had about 20 fish. We just stayed put and pecked away at the fish. At the weigh-in we held first place for biggest perch and heaviest catch for about 8 minutes and then we were eliminated from both categories. Our biggest perch was 15 ounces and our total catch was 5 lbs. 12 oz. When I get the final results I will post it.
