MFL Report
Chilly weather didn’t hurt the turnout or fishing in the Michiana Fishing League season opener Sunday at Palestine Lake in Indiana.
Big bags were weighed in and less than half a pound separating the top three teams.
Matt Summerlot and Hunter Summerlot squeaked out the victory with 17.68 pounds, due largely to their 6.56-pound bass that won big fish honors.
They said they caught their fish on jerkbaits worked in the 8- to10-foot depth range.
Derek Kelly and Jordan Smith were a close second with 17.28 pounds. They fished in 25-foot depths with swimbaits.
Bob Johnson and Jamie Czarnecki weren’t far behind, taking second place with 17.20 pounds. Specific tackle and technique details weren’t provided by the team.
The next event is scheduled for April 12th at Lake of the Woods in Bremen.
