It was a great day on Pelican. The temperatures were warm, and the wind was not too bad. Everybody had a good day, even though some of us had a difficult time getting on a big fish bite.
Not so for our first place team, though. Keith and Kim took top honors for the day with a bag of largemouth weighing 15 pounds 3.5 ounces. Their limit also included the big bass of the day for Keith weighing 4 pounds 7.5 ounces. It seems they fished a main lake rock hump. Congratulations to Keith and Kim. Good job.
Second place trophies were awarded to Larry and Wade. Their fish were caught in and around deep reeds. Way to go Larry and Wade.
Our next tournament is Saturday, August 5. This will be our blind tournament. We will meet in the Baxter Fleet Farm parking lot at 6:00 AM. Then we will draw the name of the lake from a hat, and we will caravan to the access. For a list of the potential blind lakes, check our website--Brainerdbassmasters.com. Pre-fishing the potential blind lakes is permitted. If you are unable to fish, please contact Jim by the Wednesday before the tournament 218-839-4297.
Some more congratulations are in order. Congratulations to Keith and Rachel on the birth of their daughter. Breanne Marie came into the world weighing six pounds. She is a keeper. Congratulations, also, to Mike Dieter. Mike graduated from CLC with a degree in criminal justice. Good luck Mike.
Have a good rest of July. And we will see you all August 5.
Dan
