KICK'R Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We fished the BIG RED CLASSIC this weekend and had a great time. Things started off on Friday with a 6th place finish out of 44 boats in the woman's tournament. We weighed our 5 heaviest fish that day for a total of 72lbs we also caught the biggest king to ever hit the deck which weighed 23lbs. After great fishing on Friday we had a game plan for Saturday but mother nature had different plans and there was a 2 hour weather delay. Once we finally started fishing we were able to start filling the cooler we ended up with 2 kings,2 steelhead and a laker for a 5 fish weight of 50lb which put us in 8th place after day 1. On day 2 we started off slow but then had a good flurry of action and then it just died off for us. We ended up with 3 kings and a laker and weighed 52lbs with 4 fish which was good enough for a 7th place finish out of 56 boats in our division. Our best water depths were 95-115 fow straight out of Holland. Our best baits all weekend were meat rigs on wire divers back 120-200 on counter and 200-450 Morgan's coppers with plugs and spoons. We had a great weekend and are looking forward to our final tournament of the season in Sheboygan WI in a few weeks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Great job Guys and girls! Congrats on a great finish. We also fished The Big Red Classic (Nawara Brothers). I think we sat next to you at the prize ceremony. We finished 10th overall with a 24.3lb King. Saturday we went north to Port Sheldon and fished 90-120fow and caught 2 coho, and 2 steelhead, lost 4 others (couldn't get that 5th fish in the boat) all on meat rigs. sunday we went south to Saugatuck and started in 65 fow because we saw cold water in tight. First fish was a 24.3lb king in 68fow 35 down on rigger with blue spotted dick meat rig. Then we went 2-4 in the next hour in 70-80fow. At 8am the bite stopped in tight so we moved out to 140 and picked up 3 steelhead to finish the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lundker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Only caught 2 steelhead all weekend on a spoon. Was a smaller moonshine glow spoon on 150cu. Everything else we caught on meat rigs and plugsSent from my SM-G930V using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
