Summary:
This event was a case of Feeder or no Feeder. All of the top weights were
caught by anglers employing feeder tactics. Bottom weed was a battle for
all anglers. Congrats to several newcomers for sticking out some
challenging conditions. We expect weed to leave (historically boat traffic
colors water and kills off weeds) before fall U.S. Team Champs, where CIPS
rules will change tactics for anglers once again.
Mark Green with record breaking performance!
Venue record 70#
1oz one day result & 118# 3oz total. Also record carp 16#
6oz.
Paul Wells also
with impressive 65# 15oz result.
Derek A., Dara Finnegan, and Mick Thill
rounding out the top 5.
Thanks to all visiting
anglers, Elkhart Parks Department especially Lance Dempsay,
and AMFA officials.
