Wanted to go to IC but my buddy is determined to go all the way there for a 1 night trip...
Night fishing isnt bad it's just daylight has thousands of boats on the water.

Here goes nothing!

I know there's boats here! but we're not supposed to be on the water after 3 so it shouldn't be too bad night fishin.

24 bass, 14 keepers. Wind kicked our arse.
Caught the fish on purple speed worms.
Had to move them extremely slow since all the boats spooked the fish.
Fish were surprisingly close to the banks.

That's not a bad night. We caught a pile of fish over the weekend, just no weighers in he tourney. Had a lot of funny though!

Heard they caught some monsters for the tournament.

P.S. Whoever keeps down voting all my posts must have some kind of mental issues.

SHOW YOURSELF!

I fished there this weekend. There were eleventybillion boats out there and the wind was terrible. Only caught a few fish Sunday morning. I think the last I checked on the tournament was Saturday and someone caught one that was 11 lbs.

They were killing the bream at Lanan's landing. About 20 feet on the west side.
Also hit tons of them in floating grass in United Bay.

An hour later it would've been 11th, but that's the way it goes

My dad was one of the five finalists in the drawing for the boat, but he didn't get it. He did get a rod and reel, though.

How exactly does the McDonald's tournament work? Does the biggest fish over the three days get a new truck and new boat?

Yes, with weigh ins every hour. Top 5-10/hour get paid out too.

Appreciate guys. I knew about the hourly payouts but not the winning payout. I am going to try and fish it next year.

It was a lot of fun, and you've got a chance to win a brand new truck and boat!
