East Central Bass Fishing Reports
Posted by: Rich Lindgren Updated: July 16, 2009 - 11:04 AM
On Knife lake, rocky banks, wood and docks all produced good quality fish. The only thing that did not work well on Sunday was the pad bite, mostly small fish. Once again 1/2 oz Black and Blue Tru-Tungsten jigs produced a lot of fish, chatterbait style lures also did well.
I ended up winning both tournaments with just under 15lbs each day. For full reports, check out my Bassin' Blog!
Mississippi River Tournament Recap - Alma, WI
Posted by: Rich Lindgren Updated: July 2, 2009 - 9:28 AMSunday was my 2nd Bassmaster Weekend Series tourney of the year. We took off from Alma Marina on the banks of the Mississippi River and we could fish Pools 3, 4, and 5 plus the early and often.
The bite slowed on my initial spot, the rest of the day I pecked around wood and eel grass flipping both Game Hawgs and Baby Brush Hogs on a 3/16oz Tru-Tungsten weight and 3/0 Youvella OWG hook,.
At the end of the day, my 5 fish limit weighed 14.21lbs and was good for a solid 8th place finish out of 78 anglers. Talking to other anglers, swim jigs and frogs also produced well around grass and pads. My finish moved me up to 3rd in the points which I am pretty happy about so far. All in all, this is a great series; think about joining in as a boater or non-boater for the next tournament at Prairie Deu Chien or LaCrosse.

Tournament #2 - Mississippi River - Red Wing, MN
Posted by: Rich Lindgren Updated: June 2, 2009 - 9:23 AMThis past Sunday seemed to be a tough outing for most of the 160 anglers in the Bassmaster Weekend Series tournament on the
I went in with expectations of putting together a solid limit and getting some good points for year to date standing based on my less then stellar practice. In the back of my mind, I thought if I fished hard and did not lose any fish, I could possibly cash a check.
All in all, things went well, did not lose any good fish and got one big bite. At the end of the day, I had a mixed bag of smallmouth and largemouth that weighed 12.03lbs and was good enough for 12th place and a decent check. See full standings here.
My key baits were a 3/8oz Tru-Tungsten Jig in a brown/purple color with a Green Pumpkin Rage Chunk trailer, plus I got two good bites, one on a Crazy Legs Chigger Craw and the big fish came on a Chatterbait.
Tru-Tungsten Jig was my work horse&chatterbait score my kicker fish!
