Bone Lake Produces Fireworks; Some explode, Some Fizzle

The July 2 Fishers of Men Wisconsin Tournament was one of feast or famine. The Warners Dock duo of Mike Mattis and Ken Snow had been a little quiet so far this year, but they blew up the 40 other teams with a 18.46lb. string of bass for the win. A cool spring and windy weather made conditions a bit tough for everyone, but deep weeds and rocks with a 3/4 oz. All-Terrain jig and a 10" worm were a key for Mattis and Snow. There were a high number of 0 or 1 fish bags brought to the scales. A broken down trolling motor in the morning prevented Wes Haney and Barry Rettke from possibly taking the win. They ended up with 14.52lbs. for 2nd. ISG jigs in the same size with Compers twin trails helped them boat their bass. Greg Wandschneider and Dan Bialucha were on a similar pattern to take 3rd with 13.92lbs. Patricia Davis caught a 4.53 largemouth for the MG Lures Big Bass.

For the 3rd straight year Georgetown Lutheran Church was the site of our meeting and dinner. The ladies there outdid themselves again by serving a marvelous spaghetti dinner. Paul Johnson, our speaker, gave a riveting story of his "near death" experience after being electrocuted. 5 people at the meeting then decided that they wanted to accept Jesus as Lord in their lives. Our 4th event will be on Long Lake near Sarona, WI on Aug. 6. The pre tourney meeting and dinner will be announced soon on the www.wifom.com. This will be a combined event with the WI South division and it will offer you the opportunity to again sign up for both tournaments as was the case for the Mississippi River tournament. Please send your entry by July 29 in to:

Planning for the dinner is not easy, especially when people are not getting fees in on time. A $25 late fee will be assessed. Lastly, check www.fomntt.com for more details about the Regional on Table Rock.
