District # 46, Tournament #
3
Mississippi River Pool 16
April 29, 2007
It was a beautiful day
for be out on the water catching a tan, and some bass. At take off the
temperatures were in the mid-50’s and they warmed quickly all day. Water
temps and were found to range from 59 early in the channel to 69 late in
some backwater areas. Water clarity ranged just as much depending on
where you looked. It truly was a day that an angler could pick their
strength and go to town.
Our winner and Big Bass recipient was visiting Asst Director Jay
O’Connell. Jay located a backwater area near the launch area and parked
all day. He threw just about his entire arsenal along one particular
stretch of bank and cam up with 3 Larry’s for a total of 8.98 lbs. His
stringer included the day’s big bass of 5.03 lbs. Jay was convinced that
the hum of Director Chris DeVries’ Optimax worked just like a Biosonix
unit. Twice during the day Jay landed a keeper as he motored by,
including the 5 pounder.
Second Place went to Jason Benoit. Jason brought fish in from pool 15
and 16, and indicated that he caught them every where he fished. He
weighed in 4 fish for 7.16 lbs.
Third place went to Chris DeVries with two fish for 6.75, including big
bass runner up of 4.53 lbs. Chris caught his keepers after 1pm in the
same area as Jay, on a Secret Weapons Spinnerbait.
We’d like to Thank our Trophy sponsors Ducky’s Lagoon of Andalusia and
Agent Chris DeVries of COUNTRY Insurance & Financial Services.
Thanks to all that came out and finished. Our next event will be May20
on Pool 14…ramp location is currently pending due to a new ordinance in
Albany, IL. I will update everyone as soon as I know more on that
situation.
From L to R: 1st & BB, Jay O'Connell; 2nd, Jason Benoit; 3rd,
