TOP TEAMS STAY ON THE MOVE WHILE HUGHES AND JACOBSON WIN
Last weekend Jim Hughes fished a secondary spot to take 5th place on another Lake Winnebago tournament. This week he went back to his primary plan to capture first place with Matt Jacobson. This duo is known for their jigging abilities on the system and they got right back down to what they know best.
Having confidence in their program was the biggest key to their success, as they only had six walleye bites all day. They spent their time on Lake Poygan and Lake Butte des Mortes zig-zagging back and forth to five different spots. The areas they were working were sand to gravel transitions,while primarily jigging very slow with leeches.
After upgrading a 20 inch fish to a 24.5 inch fish at 1:30pm, they were able to bring in 20.26 lbs to seal the deal.
Brad Schrauth and Jeremy Clark started their day by catching bass. While it was fun, it wasn't going to win a walleye tournament. The team, who was casting cranks and jigging with crawlers, began to hop spots. Even though the majority of their weigh fish came from 5 of 7 casts on one spot, it wasn't until 1pm that they put their last weigh fish in the box.
Targeting weeds, they figure they hit 15 to 20 spots between Oshkosh and Fond du Lac to put together 18.72lbs for second place.
Third place was taken on the east shore by Gordon Schwartz and Wayne Horn with 17.81lbs. With about 20 different areas between Quinney and Pipe to hit, they figure they caught 20 walleyes all day. Using a jig and a crawler, they pulled it back slowly, keeping it just enough off bottom to avoid snagging up on rocks.
The final Walleye Bago Club Tournament will be held out of Menomonee Park in Oshkosh on Sunday, Aug. 3rd.
