Wawasee-Bass Anglers United Tourney

[rufus]

Well, I spent a lot of money Saturday and made none . Oh well, we had a great time fishing the tourney. We had trouble finding any big fish, but no trouble finding a limit. Our largest was a 2.48 smallie and the rest were all 14 1/2-15 inches. We culled a few fish but they all only helped us by a couple of ounces. The tourney was won with 15 pounds. It was quite a star studded field. A lot of the who's who in northern Indiana and southern Michigan were in attendance, but there were only 25 boats there. We caught most of our fish on a jerkbait in 10 feet of water, we then caught a few smallies in 3-4 feet of water later in the day. There were a lot of male smallies up looking to bed, I saw at least 30 up in shallow water. It was won in the  channels and shallow bays with bedding and cruising fish. After 15 pounds it dropped to 12, 11, a couple 10's and into the 8's and 9's (we were an 8 ). I believe there were 13 limits. It wasn't a total loss, my buddy called me after fishing his Golden chain tourney and told me he won on the fish I showed him last week. God Bless and Good Fishin'

If it makes you feel any better, this was the 3rd week in a row down there for most of those guys. Maybe you can even the score over on the Randall Chain.....hope so.

Not sure it makes you feel any better, but he following day a tournament was held there and 19.4# won (8 fish limit). I had a buddy fish against you Saturday and only had 4 fish, but had over 18 pounds Sunday fishing the same area. Weird fish  .
