Pool 4 Results

[Dan Wood]

Congratulations to the Balsam Lake Bandits for top honors at Pool 4 and Big Fish! Also to Team Jighead and Crystal Connection for a very close 2nd and 3rd. Thanks to everyone for making it a great event. Fishing was tough with the post storm conditions, but some nice fish came in. The HSOforum will be updated this week, here are the results and photo's.

Thanks everyone for a great time. Only problem I have is that now we have to wait a month for the next event.

See you all in June.

Yea, the event was lots of fun. The morning was a bit chilly but the weather looked up for the afternoon. That 4lb smallie was quite a beast, only one like it for the day too, good job W Wackers! We fished some backwaters and rip rap in the morning with little success besides one lost fish. Ended up catching all of our fish from the four wingdams just upstream of the marina we launched at. Caught 2 smallies and a sheepie in the am, about 6 smallies, that pike and a buffalo in the afternoon. Pike came on a frenzy crank, all the bass came with jig/minnow jig/leech combo and one on a a senko. Can't wait until the next one, new lake for us, and we'll have a new boat too. See ya'll later.

The first event was alot of fun. We caught quite a few fish just nothing to scale. Looking forward to RUSH.
until then

Which Rush Lake are we talking about for the second outing. Trying to get details and can't find the one that we seem to be looking for. Location (city / county), best directions from cities.

Thanks and see you there

Rush Lake near Rush City...right up 35

That's Rush in Chisago cnty if you're looking on lakefinder. It's east and west rush, basically two different lakes if I'm thinking of the right ones right? Which do we launch onto?

[Dan Wood]

Lunker,
I sent out an email to everyone with the info. I had one email returned that I think must have been yours 74 instead of 79. I re-sent the email to you.

You can launch at either West or East Rush. The tournament headquarters will be on West Rush. There will be FM banners up Saturday a.m. There are 4 teams as of now that are planning to camp out Saturday night - I think most planning on fishing Saturday. I have you and your brother as a maybe.
