Mississippi River Tournament Recap - Alma, WI

Sunday was my 2^nd 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 St. Croix. I got a favorable boat draw and co-angler partner, things were off to a great start and the fish bit my Yellow Magic Popper

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 8^th 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 3^rd 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.
