Pre-Tournament: Mississippi River (Wabasha)

July 28, 2018

The Mississippi River Tournament presented by Spro Sports Professionals!

Summer is flying by and as it would be, we are already in the second half of the season!

Tourney #4 brings us back to the Mississippi River but this time launching out of the city of Wabasha. With the region having some big time rain over the past month, river conditions may be slightly faster and backwater areas slightly “sloppier.” Whether its the smallmouth or largemouth bass that are brought to the scales, it’s sure to be a competitive tournament.

Already this year we have had 3 different lead changes for Team of the Year and right now it’s Team Roboworm that has a 2 point lead over the competition. Stout competition from the tour doesn’t guarantee any lead is safe and with fishing America’s mightiest river, we know anything can happen.

This weekend’s tournament is presented by Spro Sports Professionals. Winners of this event are going to get  mess of Spro tackle as highlighted on our recent Facebook Post. With lures that target every level of the water column, Spro will help make sure the heaviest bags always come to the scales!

Here’s the schedule, lake details and ease-off order:
