Slow going for most of the 40 boats in the Church Tackle/Tackle Haven tournament out of here on Saturday. Winner was Orginator, captained by Jerry Link. Caught nine fish total, he said,, mainly on Warrior spoons trolling in a long oval between about 105 feet of water and 150 feet of water. Top five (three lakers and two kings) weighed 65 pounds.
I fished with Uncle Bud, and we caught seven, finishing in sixth place with our top five, which was the same as the winners, with three trout and two kings. Hottest lure was a blue bubble, 10-inch Spin Doctor on a wire magnum dipsy, set 220 back. Lure was a white squid with a hunk of herring on it. Biggest fish was a trout caught on a 350 copper, 11-inch Bechhold FishCatcher with a Church Baithead and a herring strip from Fish On. Didn't keep real careful track of depths, but it's safe to say all of our fish came between 105 and 120.
