Mark Balbinot competed in our Connect Fishing League March Bass Tournament and took home 2nd place in our Best 5 competition and also won Big Bass with a 6.97 LBS Bass. Mark said "Over the course of the tournament weather varied from clear blue skies to cloudy skies with a slight drizzle. Also the wind seemed to blow every time I had a chance to go fishing. Water temps were from the low to mid 40's with stained conditions. Most fish were caught on a 3/8 oz Strike King Black/Blue rattle jig with various plastics trailers. Also caught some on a double willow spinnerbait and weightless black/blue Wave Worm. All were caught from fishing from the boat except the biggest one which was caught from the bank."

The weather in Illinois has not been stable. We had a warm stretch where the crappies started to move up to spawn but then it cooled off and they backed off. This bruiser was caught in 7' of water on a downed tree using an ACC Crappie Stix 6'6" 2 Piece Dock Shooter.
