Anyone fishing the ABA tourney on Braidwood tomorrow? See you there if you are, otherwise wish me luck. First derby I'm fishing in over 20 years and I am actually a little nervous.

Any updates on the tourney?
I zeroed, it was a pretty tough day out there with the wind. My partner for the day caught a couple shorts and was a pleasure to fish with. Pretty good turnout, 22 boats and 16 non boaters. I did not stick around to see who and what won but I'm sure someone caught 'em, wind or not.
I will say this seemed to be a pretty good group of guys and tourney director at this event, anyone wanting to fish a relatively inexpensive draw trail should look into the ABA.
Next stop the La Crosse BFL on the 29th then the ABA on Vermillion next month.
It was pretty tough out there Saturday too. I caught a few keepers here and there but it was slow. Talked to a couple guys and they all said the same thing.

I just checked. Unit 1 is at 100 and unit 2 is at 92. Both units are still running.
I fished there sunday it was crazy busy, We were not in the tournament and only fished for 3 hours but caught 4, I did lose two 3 pound plus fish so that was frustrating but all in all for the first time back on this lake in years was pleasantly surprised.
the anglers choice touney had 53 boats 10.31 won it
12.10 won the ABA tourney. I figured the AC tourney had a good turnout, lots of boats out there Sunday.
I fished Anglers Choice. We caught 9 with 3 keepers for 7.23 pounds with BB at 3.1#. We also lost 2 really good ones that would have put us in the $.
