Interesting developments on day 2.

RICHARD ZACHOWSKI has opened the door for others to catch up. This will make for an interesting day 3.

Looking at the list of names in the top 20 and their weights, I predict some very interesting movements on day three with several anglers moving into the top ten while others miss the cut.

The angler of the year race looks like it may end up being a shoot out between TED TAKASAKI, PAT BYLE, and PERRY GOOD.

This will be an interesting one to watch.

iceman,

The tourney is on the Mississippi River bordering WI and MN. As I understand it, the eyes are coming off the spawn. There are some areas, tributaries and backwaters, where the big girls tend to congregate to do their thing. They are now moving out of these areas and going on the feed as they disperse to their summer hangouts -- the guys with the big bags are locating these areas.

I've only fished the area a couple of times though; I'm sure some more experienced folks can correct me if I've got it wrong.

it can be your best spot or your worst, Randy who is second place fished the league the weekend before and did terrible, he is a true river rat down there,

You name it is there, backwater, true river, wingdams, main channel, dam tail race, back chennel, Lake Pepin which fishes like a lake, tons of shad to compete with, the amount of sauger is incredible, i believe a new state record sauger came out this spring. 2 springs ago I hit it just right, 45# was our 5 best for the day, pitch jigs, draging jigs, vertical jigging.

During the summer some impresive trolling bites on the lake, rivals Erie
