    Banner Marsh

    I was wondering if anyone has ever fished Banner Marsh. Got a tournament there in 2 weeks and headed up to fish it next weekend.

    Just wondering if anyone has any tips for that area

    Thanks

    Excellent caliber of fish at banner. I’m not great at punching or frogging, but I’ve caught a lot of very nice fish there. Maybe also have a black/blue swimjig tied on. There are three main lakes. It seems the east and middle lake get the most tournament pressure so I usually fish the west lake, but they all are very good.

    We had our tournament there back in June and Senkos were king. Punching, frogs, swimjigs, texas rigs, underspins, etc all got bit as well. Where are you allowed to fish?
