Winners Ron Fabiszak and Ron NelsonRon Fabiszak (South Bend) and Ron Nelson (Berrien Springs) bested the R&B Circuit field on Lake Tippecanoe last weekend by targeting bedding fish on the main lake.
The winners had 15.36 pounds by fishing beds lying between 4 and 7 feet deep. They tossed an array of plastics at them and spent over an hour on the second biggest fish of the tournament, a 5.35-pound largemouth, before getting her to bite. The win earned them $730 while the big fish won them an additional $92.
Greg Mangus (Fremont) and Terry Tucker (Albion) landed an 11.16-pound limit by fishing a combination of Mango jigs and a centipede rigged wacky style. They spent their time cruising flats in search of aggressive fish. This won them $460.
Ben Diamond and Bryan Holderman targeted bedding fish in channels with a Sweet Beaver in the watermelon seed color scheme and brought in a 10.82 pound limit to win $350.
The Money Mouth Baits Big Bass Award ($368) was a 5.52-pound bass fooled by a Zara Spook by Steve Januchowski (Michigan City).
The next event will be held June 15 at Lake Wawasee. More information can be found at www.randbbasscircuit.com.
