Fishing to end hunger tournament

Did anyone fish in the tournament last weekend. Just curious if the results and how they were biting. We fished Whitefish Saturday and gull Sunday. Fish were very negative. Marked lots, not many biters

Dan posted the results on his FB page

I fished it…finished 19th out of 116 boats. I consider that a huge win for us as we didn’t boat a single legal walleye in 2 days of prefishing. We all have our days, but the prefishing for us was really strange and weird. Couldn’t really mark fish, put camera down and what fish we did mark turned out to be suckers. Game day we decided to just soak the minnows for longer time and slow way down. That helped as we caught 7 fish after a 2 hour fog delay to start the morning.

The Fishing to End Hunger staff and Walleye Dan did an amazing job getting 116 boats out and back in with no issues. Look forward to this tournament every year.

Thanks for the report Cal. Not sure if lake is turning over or what but we were fishing around Schaefer point and there were lots of air bubbles and it smelled pretty rancid

I fished it as well. We did alright. Ended up 35th. My partner was up the whole week prior and was able to find fish daily. Nothing amazing as far as #’s, but consistent day to day. Redtails and suckers(tail hooked and lip hooked) worked but you had to be moving slow. Weed edges, inside turns, and steep drops where they started to flatten out where our key spots. Marked lots of fish(no camera in the boat to confirm walleyes) in depths from 16′-40′.

I made a small contribution to Cal’s team fund raising effort. @skeeter29 Always glad to help out. Surprise card showed up over the weekend. A HAND WRITTEN Thank you card! Not just a short thanks, but a note about the charity and a receipt for taxes. This organization is a Class Act! Thank you to Walleye Dan, Cal and all who volunteered time to make this event a success!
