Upper Wheeler NATA Tournament 2-27-2010

[Walleyebob]

We had a very cold start at 6:05 AM leaving Ditto and frozen by the time we got to the Dam. True fully it never warmed up the rest of the day (45 degrees outside & water temp the same) and windy, but out of 36 or so fishermen approximately 26 weighed fish with big fish @ 3+ lbs. Bass biting very slow and soft a lot caught on trick worms - senko's - Pumpkin & Green sit up on a shaky head. By slow I mean about a 20 count before you move it, better have a lot of patience but it can pay off.

I am a transplant from Colorado hence the nick name WalleyeBob, but I am learning. So if I seem a little bit like I lean towards Walleye's and Sauger's please forgive me. I just like to fish no matter what I am catching.

In one of the pictures you will see I caught my first Bowfin boy if that was not a surprise. Coming from Colorado I had no idea what this fish was until I looked it up. When I am fishing my Walleye tactics some times produce some strange things.

I believe that Jerry Dunn won with a little over 11 lbs. but after being in the wind and frozen half to deaf do not bank on it. The results should be posted on our web site very soon NATAbass.com.
