Stars and Stripes Report
T.J. And Todd Winkler won the Stars and Stripes tournament on Gull Lake over the weekend with 17.66 pounds.
“We caught the majority of our fish on a Strike king Coffee Tube in green pumpkin,” said the Winklers. “The remaining fish were caught on a 5-inch" Yamamoto Senko in green pumpkin/watermelon laminate color. The key was fishing super slow and knowing the key areas to fish.”
Second place finishers Bill Mathews and Kris Iodice had 17.22 pounds by targeting fry guarders in 10 feet of water.
“The BAFA jig and a Strike King Dream Shot were the keys to catching our bigger fish,” said Mathews.
Joey Kogut and Braiden Arnett were a close third with 17.11 pounds.
Big bass honors went to Jesse Richardson and Kadin Wogomon and it weighed 3.92 pounds. They were fishing weed edges with jigs and caught a limit of 16.33 pounds.
The next event is June 22 at Austin Lake. Hours are 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Entry fee is $100. Email Mathews at Bassinbill96@gmail.com for details.
