Washington County Tournaments 2010 (partner wanted)

[IllinoisBasser]

Looking for a partner or partners for the 2010 season. Fished most of the season last year solo and looking for a partner for most of the season. We are allowed two alternates per team.

I have a small boat that is set up for the lake and will be fishing most if not all of these tournaments.

The entry fee is $30.00 per boat with $5.00 per boat held for the classic fund. Big bass is also paid. These tournaments are 100% payback. Cost for you would be half the entry fee. Unless you want to chip in more, donations are gladly accepted.

I'm easy to fish with and always have a flippin rod handy.

If anyone is interested in fishing some or most of these tournaments. Send me an IM.

I worked in Mt. Vernon on the first walmart there and fished Washington 4-5 times a week. Great lake with tons of fish and some toads..At least it was that way 20 years ago or so. What is the H.P. limit? I think I remember 9 hp maybe..we fished it on trolling motor..How's it doing now adays

It's a good lake and has been for a few years. Healthy fish population. Most folks pass it up due to the horsepower restriction(10 horse). Doesn't get near the traffic that Rend of Kincaid gets.

Last year near the end of spawn it took over 26 lbs to win one of our jackpot tournaments. The guy that won weighed in a 8.25 lber and 4 other toads.

By summer that changes to 12-15 lbs.
