Where will the Merc Nationals be won?

Hot Spot Posted 6/1/2004 1:34 PM (#18910) Subject: Where will the Merc Nationals be won? This one should draw a few negative responses. Am I trying to get info? Not really. Just opinions. My guess is that a lot of people are going to be fishing reefs on winnebago. They have been fairly productive and there are a lot of fish in the lake right now. Because of the number of fish in the lake I think many will fish bago. jerry Posted 6/1/2004 2:22 PM (#18914 - in reply to #18910) Subject: RE: Where will the Merc Nationals be won?

Lets keep in mind that the water is high,and still cold,on the upper-lakes.Some fish naturally come down with the current,but seems there are still lots of eyes in Poygan and Winneconnie.The Fox has been giving up some nice size fish,the past week,so some are coming back.There are 3 schools of decent size eyes, on Bago,so if someone gets the pattern down there, it should put them in the top ten anyway.Weed beds are holding fish now,but when the water drops,they could also move back downstream.For the most part,I will quess that the top 20 teams will do this....10-places from Bago,3 places from weeds,6 places from the upper lakes, and first place? well if I new that,I'd be fishing Merc.....hafe Richfish Posted 6/1/2004 10:21 PM (#18944 - in reply to #18910) Subject: RE: Where will the Merc Nationals be won?

I don't have a clue, right now. I will be out this weekend in search of some decent fish. WIth the WWA out there, I may end up doing a lot of watching. I'm hoping to learn a bit this weekend, and maybe the fish will stay put for me for a week. But, I really hope we have decent weather. I'm sick of fishing cold fronts, big winds, and rain! If anybody would like to work together and share some info, I am willing. Right now, I'm flying solo. shink Posted 6/2/2004 11:04 PM (#18983 - in reply to #18910) Subject: RE: Where will the Merc Nationals be won?
