Leech Lake Club Tournament Preview

Hey all, sitting here watching the clock, heading up to Leech Lake shortly. I only had about 2.5hrs of practice, that is not much time on a 112,000+ acre lake that we will split in half for two days. I only fished the half we will fish on day 2. In practice, I found fish on the reeds and bog on the west side using jigs, I feel that I should be able to duplicate that in Boy Bay on the east side.

Last night I set up my equipment like I was hunting bear. I got all baitcasters with 17-25 lb mono or 50 lb Braid. I got 3 jigs tied up, ranging from 3/4oz to 1oz in Brown/Blk, Green Pumpkin and Blk/Bl/Purple. I got a Black Gambler Cane Toad to use as a buzzbait, spoon and frog combo. I got a black Bronzeye on 7’10” with braid. I have TX rig with a heavy Tru-Tungsten Sinker tied up with a snell knot for flipping and then I got a Secret Weapon Spinnerbait in case the fish are hanging on the edges. Should be fun!

These are the last two tournaments of the year, and I am hanging onto a slim 1.2 lb lead over my dad, for ‘Club Stick’ who has been up practicing for the whole week. It is also down to the Final 4 for the Match fishing tournament. There is also a good chance, big bass of the year for the club could fall this weekend. It would be great to wrap up all three! Check back Monday for results!
