MWA Report
Korey Sosalla and new member Jeff Lanthier won the Michiana Walleye Association tournament on the St. Joseph River at Maggies Landing last weekend.
Fishing was sporadic, according to members, but those anglers who could keep their lines clean of debris and kept the bluegill and rock bass from biting were able to bring some nice fish to the scales.
The winners found their four keepers by pulling worm harnesses and working jigs around structure. Their bag weighed in at 6.79 pounds.
