Tim scored a 5th place finish and Jeremiah placed 11th. Congrats to both you guys on a job well done!
WTG guys! Who do I pay to get either one of you as a boater?
Let me know if either one of you need a prefishing partner for LAX the Friday before. I can make arrangements to leave early in the AM, to at least catch some fish on the weekend! Shaking off a fish should come easy after today’s debacle.
Nice job guys!
Slop…pm me with the problem with a “tounge” hooked fish…I’m always learning.
Hey Slop if you take some rejuvinate that you put in your live well and put some directly into the fishes mouth, the fish will do just fine 80% of the time. Was told this by a local angler here in the Madison area. Try it
Nice job Tim and Slop, and also to Jason(CHAMP193)who finished just behind Slop. Pretty good showing from the IDA
contingent.
Thanks guys! It was really a great day of fishing. Caught a ton of fish, a lot of small ones.
way to go Sloppy and everyone else that cashed!
I actually caught two Gar’s last week, one in the tournament.
good job guys..I found the fishing a little tough with all that wind…lots of bites but I couldn’t hook anything…The first 5 casts I had 5 bites and didn’t get a single fish into the boat…I managed to eek out a limit throughout the day until weigh in where my co dumped my bag of fish on the back deck of the boat and a 2.5 went through the jack plate.
Ended up with 4 fish for 9 lbs. I wouldn’t have cashed with that fish, but it sure would have felt good to weigh in a limit.
Oh man, I would have felt awful!!!
Maybe that’s why in some tournaments, only you can handle your own fish…
BTW, wasn’t that fish 5 lbs?
Congrats Slop and Tim!

Either of you care to share a little of how your bite went(of course not locations)? I’m struggling now and blaming it on all of the baitfish available to the bass . Did you both lock up or stay aroung PdC?
BTW my father-in-law has his pontoon at the weigh-in site and has seen about a dozen dead bass the last two days. Did they release some in the slough this year?
I caught all my fish in slight current. Sand points with weeds on them. Watch for the fish to be chasing minnows. I stayed on 10.
I believe they released the fish out past the barges somewhere as that is where I saw the release boats come back from.
My Pattern was almost identical to Tim’s. Sandy Weed edges and even the open water around them. I stayed on 10 as well. My bait of choise was “scary”
<hint hint>
I was hoping the storms would roll in like they did and it worked out good for me, but I caught fish all day long. Never moved off a 70 yrd stretch.
I like Slop caught some fish on top water. Other than that, C-rig and Jerk Shad!
The other bait that was on fire in the weeds was a 1/4 White Brovarney swim jig!
Thanks for throwing some of your insights toward us weekend fishermen. Even though it is my home water I have been stuggling and I think I get stuck in a rut of “what was working last week” . It’s good to know that there are nice fish to be had. I’ve never seen the fishery better and each of the last 4 or 5 years have been increasingly the best I’ve had
. Thanks again for letting us know what worked for you and good job
.
That was the first time I had ever been on pool 10. What a great place. The river from atleast pool 4-10 that I have been on are tremendous fisherie’s.
