Cedar Valley Walleye Club Forum

16 boats departed from the launch site greeted with light wind and cool temperatures, (unlike the previous several days and prior tournament at Genoa.) Although fishing conditions were good overall, a mixed bag of results were recorded. Eight teams caught a total of 26 walleye weighing 96.92lbs. almost a 3.75lb. average with all fish immediately recorded and released! With water temps. in the low 40's, about half of the catch were pre-spawned females. Only three teams recorded a five fish limit. Several presentations were used, pitching jigs on current breaks and slow pulling crank baits being the most effective.

Congratulations to Billy Martin and Chad Kinkade, scoring an impressive catch of 25.39lbs. for 1st. place!

Billy Martin/Chad Kinkade 25.39lbs. 1st.place
Jeremy Geisler/Mike Goltz 16.47lbs. 2nd. place
Carl Holten/ Marty Stuefen 14.26lbs. 3rd. place
Tim and Tom Ahrens 12.94lbs 4th. place

There was a tie for Big Fish honors of 6.14lbs. between the Team of Kinkade/Martin and Brady Barker/Jonathon Martin, each will split the total of first and second place. 3rd. place went to the team of Holten and Stuefen 5.39lbs.
