A day on the lake with the TOMINATOR...

[Deitz Dittrich]

I had the pleasure of fishing a tounament this weekend with FishingMinnesota ProStaffer Tom Herman. We fished the "I think it was called" The Central Minnesota Mystery Tounament. Many lakes were thrown in a hat that were all in a 50 mile radius(let it be known that the middle of the 50 mile radius was no where near my home in Chisago Lakes...)at exactly 6am Saulk Lake was drawn. I know I never knew the lake existed so needless to say I have never fished it...Tom said he had fished it once. This was to be a true mystery tournament.

Weather was chilly, skies were clear, water temps in the morning were about 65 deg. And with only 1 small look, Curly Pond Weed was more than abundant.

Tom and I had a great day, we were able to put togeather a pattern, adapted well as the pattern changed and brought a decent limmit to the scales. 6 fish, 17.25 lbs...which earned us second place....(NO, NOT OUT OF 2 TEAMS!!!)

Thanks for the great day Tom... It was very good to see you again and be able to spend some time on the water.

Dietz!!
It was a blast. I do however have to correct ya...it's the "Hermanator"...LOL

You also have made me a believer in wacky worming. I wouldve switched up to that but I figured I'd let you work your magic I'll have to try it on Le Homme Dieu this weekend. I'll pick up some of those worms you were using to go along with my Senkos.

I think we decided that Dietz is going to write up an article on our technique...lol...which was quite funny...BUT WORKED!! "Pump Pounding 101"...LOL

It was tough, fish were in-between spawn and post spawn, cold front, etc. etc. Fish were scattered and it was work finding fish.

We lost out by 3/4 of a lb on overall and oly a couple 100th's on big fish...kinda frustrating, but thats how it goes.

For those interested, it is a small circuit that has been going on for about 3 years now. It's fun, competitive and the payouts are not too bad considering it is 15 boats. If anyone wants more info, email me and I can get you what you need.
