From the FLW website: Fluekiger, Stier tied for second
Tied for second place was Alma, Wis., pro Jarrad Fluekiger and Pierre, S.D., resident Dan Stier. While each of the anglers weighed in 10 pounds, 15 ounces, Fluekiger did so while boating only four fish compared to Stier’s five.
“We fished wing dams on Pool 14 with live bait,” said Fluekiger. “We had our four fish in the boat by 10:30 a.m.”
Stier employed entirely different tactics than Fluekiger yet wound up with the same weight. The S.D. veteran said he was trolling crankbaits with leadcore line in Pool 16. He caught 15 fish total, six of which were keepers. Of his five-fish limit, two were walleyes and three were saugers.
“There is a secondary current coming in, meaning they have twice as much bait in one area,” Stier said. “There were about 10 of us in there today. Depending on the pressure, they should hold up and replenish themselves. Tomorrow is going to be a tougher day, especially in the morning. The first day of a cold front is usually the toughest.”
