Brand New Year, Brand New Lake!
This Sunday, June 2nd, the Minnesota Bass Tour will open up our 9th season on the southern bass factories of Lake Tetonka and Lake Sakatah. Once again this year, we continue our tradition of fishing new bodies of water with the goal of making us better fisherman rather than repeating the same lakes year over year.
Lake Tetonka is being presented by Quantum Fishing, a generous and select Platinum sponsor of Minnesota Bass Tour.
Along with this event, the team nabbing the largest bag FOR EVERY tournament this year will be taking home two Quantum Performance Tuned reels! Go to Quantum’s website and Facebook page to check out more about their family of reels, rods and apparel!
Tetonka and Sakatah should be in the prime fish catching window of the spawning migration. Other contests held here regularly throughout the year routinely have five fish limits of above the mystical 20 pounds mark. The weather is looking to cooperate for this event, how many 20 lb bag(s) will we see?
So with the prolonged off-season behind us and now the short nights upon us, let’s kickoff 2019 and have a fun and educational season! Here’s the schedule, lake details and ease-off order:
