D&R Sports Report
Brian Burmania and Don Watts won the D&R Sports Center Tournament Series on Cadillac and Mitchell lakes last weekend.
The winning duo had 18.05 pounds anchored by the second biggest of the tourney, a 4.29-pound largemouth.
“We were flipping weeds in 7 to 10 feet of water,” says Burmania. “We found the weedlines with our MegaLive 2. Don only used one rod all day and it was his flipping stick, so most of the fish we caught were flipped.”
Zach Wiggers took big bass honors with a 4.40.
Second place Neil Vande Biezen and Luke Gritter were close with 17.43 pounds anchored by a 4.29 pounder. They caught their fish on Strike King Rodents and jigs in cabbage weeds growing in 8 feet of water.
Connor Tominski and Ben Nielsen were third with 16.12 pounds.
“We caught nearly all of our fish flipping weeds in 7 to 10 feet and along inside edge, “said Nielsen. “We did catch a few good ones on topwater early and caught fish all day long.
Fourth place went to Ben Rand and Mason Grossbauer with 15.39 pounds .
Jeff Elliot and Trevor Young finished fifth with 15.28 pounds. They fished a similar pattern around weeds, flipping creature baits in Lake Mitchell.
