I had a chance to knock the rust off the tournament gears this weekend down in Storm Lake, Iowa. I fished in the Binning's Outdoors spring walleye tournament with my wife's uncle, Bill Mason. For not getting a ton of pre-fishing time in, Bill and I had a respectable showing of 12th place out of 58 boats. One fish out of the money, of course. :(
Bill and I landed most of our keepers on the north shore of the lake, pitching 1/16 oz jigs tipped with crawler halves, and gently hopping this combo in and amongst the shallow rocks. We didn't get a ton of bites, but the bites we got were the right ones...nice tournament fish between 16.5 and 17". I'm looking forward to getting back to Storm Lake. I have yet to have a bad day on the water there. Nice population of very healthy fish, that's for sure!
