Danny
Borcheding and Bud Harris Win 1st Annual
The
first annual Chad Morgenthaler Special Olympics Benefit Tournament was
held on Rend Lake September 30th and October 1st.
The tournament kicked off with a banquet held on Friday evening
at the Rend Lake Resort, anglers and guests were greeted with many
participation prizes as well as multiple opportunities for additional
merchandise through raffles and silent auctions.
It was obvious to see that the individuals involved in this
tournament had put forth a tremendous effort to make this a success.
Special thanks are deserved for all of the participating
sponsors for their involvement. Anglers
were greeted the first morning with cloudy skies, wind and
intermittent rain. These
weather conditions led to an excellent early bite as many anglers
brought five fish limits to the scales.
Leading with 15 pounds 15 ounces after day one was the team of
Danny Borcheding and Bud Harris. Sunshine and light winds met the anglers on day two, which brought a level of uncertainty to most anglers in the field. When the weigh was over it was obvious that the bite had gotten a lot tougher as several teams in the top 5 had fallen, with only 4 teams managing to bring a limit to the scales both days. All in all an excellent tournament was had by all. The final standings are as follows:
Danny and Bud caught their fish in the mid-lake region fishing rock and mud banks in 1-5 feet of water with Bagley’s and Bandit crank baits. Both members of the team mentioned that finding water that wasn’t too clear or too muddy made the difference in their bite.
Jerry and Bobby caught their fish in the mid-lake region throwing spinner baits and jigs on any available wood cover. 1-3 feet of water seemed to be the best depth for this pair of anglers. They too mentioned the “right” water clarity as a factor in their success.
