If you still hunger for bass tournament competition, there are a couple fall circuits that can keep you in the game.
Lee Duracz will be running the Polar Bear Opens and Rick Kedik will be handling a series of Fall Opens.
The fall season kicks off Saturday with the annual Tackle Shack Brawl – as part of the Polar Bear Circuit - on the St. Joe at 6-Span launch near Elkhart. Entry fee is $100 and $20 for big bass pot. Registration is at 6:45 a.m. and boats must be in the water by 7:45. Hours are 8-2. Call Tackle Shack for additional details.
Forest River Fishing Group will host the event and Bristol Fire Department will be conducting fund-raiser drawings. For more information visit the Tackle Shack
