Final Winnie Results

[Paul Waldowski]

Sorry for the delay, but I have a job too

Day One:

Day Two:

Total:

Congrats goes out to Chuck and Aaron for a really nice win. It was very close between them and Tom and Mark. Super Job by both teams.

Congrats also goes out to the team of Ron and Doug for bringing in the big fish for the tournament. A Northern Pike that was 34 inches long with a 13 3/4 inch girth. Nice Job guys and I'm sure that you will enjoy that nice Scenic Tackle jig kit.

See everyone on West Battle next month for our last Tourney of the year

How was it up there?

Come on CD/PP, Tom/Mark. What did you catch, how did you catch em, and where were the hotspots

Winni was a real hoot. Going into the tourney I was skeptical and especially when returning for weigh in on Saturday (which really surprised us!). A lot of those waters can shut off with a flick of the switch, and when the NW winds went crazy Saturday afternoon it really slowed the bite. We were always on the move trying to find active fish.

I'm not going into specifics as to too many of my spots, but those who are in the league I shared every single detail. You'll have to join the league to find out!!

I will say that the area of Sugar Lake produced most of the bass and pike and we caught all the gills in Little Cutfoot Sioux. The areas of the cane, bullrushes and wild rice were key for these fish.

We found a lot of big walleyes on West Winni with leeches and casting cranks over rock piles. When the winds switched 180 degrees on Saturday those fish were lock jawed for us.

We caught a total of 5 bass, 5 northerns, maybe 12 or so perch and 28 gills for the 2 day event.

What a blast!! I have fished Winni for years but I never, ever (honestly) knew there were that many bass and gills in that huge body of water. I lost one bass that we guessed was around the 6lb mark! These events have really taught me to keep an open mind.

I know the race for first is really tight, but how tight is it? Can we see an overall standings and did we decide what system we were going to use?

I'm prepared for the jinx, but I'm not gonna let it happen! I've really done my homework this time!
