Polar Bear Report
Perry and Nick Tirotta won the Polar Bear Open Saturday on Webster Lake.
The lake temperature was 49-50 degrees but that didn’t prevent the bass from biting for many of the 15 teams competing.
The Tirottas had 16.71 pounds that included big bass of the derby, a 4.56 pounder. They won $420 for first and $140 for big bass. They said they fished spinnerbaits and swimbaits along seawalls in 1 to 3 feet.
Second place went to Ron Fabiszak and Dave Hoffman who had 12.56 pounds caught on A-rigs. They also won the critter pot with a monster 23.73-pound muskie.
Third place was won by Kevin Jones and Jesse Richardson with 12.43 pounds. They fished A-rigs in shallow weeds to pocket $170.
Vikki Black won the Tackle Shack Lew’s Baitcast reel.
The next event is Nov. 8 at Lake Wawasee from 7:30 to 2:30.
