Night 6, June 25 was a tough night for bass fishing, but a high scoring event for Island Lake South, near Moose Lake. Great weather brought out lots of locals and boat loads of kids and families, that were fishing most locations and hard for many hours prior to our contest. Along with that, some shoreline construction was going on and the water near them very muddy. This was a good tough situation to fish, you had to fish the right fish and the ones not under too much pressure. AND with most teams scoring over hundred points, everyone did great.
First place went to Team TGIF, Ed Forrestal and Doug Pirila, with a 6-species bag with the first ever MMTS limit of walleyes, limits of crappies and bluegills, and some rock bass, perch, and 4 largemouth bass for a record 184 points. Not bad..
Second went to Team Gone Postal, John Kytola and Bob Carson, with another six species bag. Third tonight went to Team Barley Afloat, Pat Cooke and Karl Johnson. The big fish for the night was largemouth bass and Team Choppers won that, with a respectable 17 inch largie. The wildcard was for 7th and went to Team Frustrated, again, talk about lucky guys. Congrats to everyone for a good time on a tough night of fishing.
Our rookie team of Lucky Not Good keeps bringing fish to the scoring and is taking an early lead in the Rookie of the Year standings. Good luck guys. They also had the ONLY limit of all bonus crappies, all over 10 inches. Great job.
