FISH HURON WALLEYE CHALLENGE

First of all I would like to thank everyone that made the tournament possible, it was once again a great tournament. A sincere thanks to the FHO board members Doug Studer, Sheila Earhart, Doug Steinwert, Rick Messenburg, Matt Solberg, Deborah Schisler, Don Ritzenthaler and to the City Manager of Huron Andy White. Congratulations to the winning team with 44.38 lbs. Tony Plue, Chuck Disanto, Rocky Caillihan and Jeff Hewit.  Also a special thanks to all of the local sponsors. A complete list of the tournament results can be found on OGF. We pre-fished for the tournament on Friday and located fish on the Vermilion dump and pulled fish running 40 Tru-Trips  40, 50 and 60 back in the morning and later in the day dropped the leads back to 110 and 120 with harnesses and double willow leaf blades. We could not pull any 9 or 10 pound fish  the day of the tournament and we finished with a total of 33.52 lbs. for five fish. We pulled 17 eyes for the day just not the hawgs needed to place. It was a great day and I enjoyed fishing with my good friends. A final thanks go out to Dan Heyne owner of Big Fish Tuff Tackle Company home of the Tru-Trip Divers for sponsoring us in the tournament. A total of 478 fish were caught in the tournament for a total of 3306 pounds an average of 6.9 lbs per fish.  Fall fishing is on now and should continue so if your interested in a trip call me NOW or your favorite Captain. See you on the water!
