Casting Couples Report
Rick and Jennifer Kedik had a mix bag of largemouth and smallmouth bass to win the Casting Couples tourney on Mona Lake over the weekend.
The Kediks had 11.93 pounds and had big bass honors with a 3.73-pound largemouth. They fished docks using Butcher Baits special color Stick bait to earn $280 for first and another $65 for big bass. They said the fish were not under the docks but in front and next to them.
Second went to Scott and Patty Smith with an 11.67-pound limit, earning $140. The Smiths primarily used drop shots and tubes next to docks, especially floating docks.
Third-place John Gipson fished with his young daughter, June, to catch five weighing 11.39 pounds. Gipsons fished Mona and Muskegon lakes with Senkos and jigs to earn $100.
Fourth went to Brian and Sandy Souza with 11.09 pounds. Souza also keyed in on docks.
Ryan and Alyssa Yoder had the second largest bass with a 3.12 smallmouth, earning tackle packs from Butchers Baits. They also earned tackle packs from NWI Tournament Baits (NorthWest Indiana tournament baits) for the smallest bag of the day, 8.93 pounds.
The next Casting Couples tournament is July 18th at Gull Lake. Contact Rick for info, 269-240-4917.
