On Sunday, April 5, the Bloomington-Normal Bass Club tested its mettle against Clinton Lake. There were 13 registered boats and 24 anglers on Central Illinois largest lake. Launch was at 6:45am and ran to 3:15pm, with take-off leaving from the Clinton Marina. The forecast was for rain and thundershowers all day, but the weather held out until 2:30 PM when the heavy rains hit. Winds were 20 to 30 MPH all day which made hole-sitting just that much tougher.
The Club anglers prevailed with 6 limits of 3 fish weighed in. It took 10-pounds plus to place in the money showing that the big bite was on. Andy Wegner claimed first place with a total weight of 10.26 pounds, followed closely by James Hurt’s second place sack bringing 10.17 pounds, anchored by the event’s big bass of 5.56 pounds. Jamie Maisenbacher rounded out the top three with a bag tipping the scales at 10.08 pounds. Just out of the money was Ken Petersen at 10.04 pounds anchored by another nice bass at 5.31 pounds.
Congrats to all anglers who participated and braved the elements!
