TEAM KICK'R Pro/Am Tournament New Buffalo, MI 4/24-25


Recommended Posts

We pre fished Friday after work for a few hours just my girlfriend and I we ended up lighting the lakers up. Fishing was so good I couldn't get more than 2 rods in the water for the first 30 minutes once I finally got them all set we made a turn and kept getting them we decided to switch it up and try for silver fish we ended up getting 5 coho but none where big enough to keep we caught our lakers in 35-45fow and coho in 40-50fow. After our great evening of pre fishing we decided to head to the same spot this morning for the tournament and the fish where still there we picked up the lakers we needed for our weight then decided to head to deeper water in search of kings. We found them and ended up with 2 and lost a nice one we also picked up our biggest laker the best depth for kings was 55-65 fow. We ended up weighing our best 5 fish for a total of 45.90lbs which put us in 9th place in the pro division. We ended up with 8 lake trout 2 kings 1 coho for the day. We also managed to break a big jon downrigger arm clean off while fishing today boy that caused some havoc luckily we had a spare manual rigger on board that we were able to use in its place. All in all had a good day of fishing despite the carnage and less than perfect weather here are some pictures enjoy!

Thanks for posting and good job! The lake does look a little too bumpy for my liking.

Could you add in what lures were working on your next post? Even if you don't post the exact lures (understandable as you are fishing tournaments), posting if you used spoons, body baits, flasher fly etc. would help some people out!

what happened to the downrigger?

We were trolling in 70 fow and had the rigger down 40 ft and all of a sudden the arm just snapped clean off not sure what exactly caused it Big Jon is sending us new parts today and wants the broken pieces back to determine what may have happened
