Mid-Summer Fun!
Tourney #4 brings us back to familiar waters of Clearwater Lake presented by Quantum Fishing, located just west of the Twin Cities area. This is the sixth time the Minnesota Bass Tour has been on Clearwater in our 10 year history and this one represents the latest in the season we have found ourselves on this 3,100 acre lake. Quantum Fishing has been a platinum sponsor of the tour for over 5 years, providing support to our tournament anglers with their innovative and exciting reels and rods!
It’s mid-summer, patterns are generally more predictable, schools of bass can be found more regularly. Clearwater has pumped out various bags for the tour over the years and its vast structure allows anglers to fish to their strengths. The weather should be great and and the fish snapping, here we go as the Minnesota Bass TOur takes on Clearwater Lake!
Team Shake N’ Bake of Lucas Matzke and Derek Born have a 4 point lead on the Team of the Year race, with a group of anglers that are looking to advance past them. Can Lucas and Derek hold them off? Stay tuned, here’s the schedule, lake details and ease-off order:
