“We Came, We Fished, It Blew”
There’s nothing like a good strong Central Illinois wind to suck the fun out of a tournament day, and by God, we had it today. 30 mph constant wind with 40+ mph gusts kept our anglers busy on trolling motors and less able to fish. Water temps have climbed over the past few days, with some reports of 63 to 67 degree temps. 13 boats braved the gale force winds, but despite valiant efforts, out of 24 anglers, only 11 prevailed with bass. Statements like “I need a beer and an ibuprofen” were common at the events conclusion. Some members noted they were still bobbing even on land. There will be a signifigant drain on the power grid once all the trolling motor batteries are plugged in, too!
