The stable weather conditions over the past week have put the
fish in a predictable pattern right now. The fish are in a strong
late pre-spawn pattern with many of the males cruising the
shallows. There are a few of the females moving closer to the
shallows as well. With steadily rising water temps and stable water levels, the
fishing was good for many. Unfortunately many of the anglers found
difficulty in locating the keeper sized fish in the lake.

place unavailable for photo
One of the few to unlock the secrets of the lake and river
were one of the local favorites Randy Ramsey and Tim Willihnganz,
who caught 19.56 pounds of bass, 5 small mouths and 1 large mouth,
for a first place finish that came with a check for $1,296. Their
biggest fish of the day was a bass that went 4.22 pounds. (Not
available for interview)
2nd Place Scott Hinz and Nick Limpel
Finishing is second place, with a bag of six large mouths at
a weight of 17.3 pounds were Scott Hinz of Baraboo, Wisconsin, and
Nick Limpel of Lodi, Wisconsin.
Nick and Scott were throwing spinner baits and smoke tubes
on the lake. Their biggest bass of the day was a large mouth that
went 3.18 pounds. They were also guarded with a more specific
pattern due to the upcoming tournaments. For their efforts today,
they were rewarded with a check for $777.
3rd Place and Big Bass Rollie Thruehl
and Jeff Krisher
In third place, with
another bag of six large mouths at a weight of 15.7 pounds, were
Rollie Thruehl of Deforest, Wisconsin and Jeff Krisher of Token
Creek, Wisconsin. Jeff also caught the big bass of the day with a
large mouth that went 4.38 pounds. They were fishing jigs in very
shallow water on the lake. They would like to thank their
sponsors, Angler’s Edge and Next Level Tackle for their support.
For the day, they earned $350 for third and $210 for big bass on
the day. Congratulations to all that fished today.
Angler’s
Edge would like to thank all that fished today and hope to see you
again at Prairie Du Chein on
May 7th. I would also like to thank their
sponsors for making the tournament possible. Sponsors include,
Falcon Rods, Next Level Tackle and Finley GMC.
