Otter Lake Tournament Series

Well as we all know, with the summer months usually comes a difficult bite.  This year has been no exception at Otter Lake.  It seems like you are either on the fish or you're not, so as a result, the number of fish being weighed in has tailed off a bit as of late.  With that being said, the guys who have found fish have managed to find quality fish.  There have been several 4 to 5 pounders weighed in over the last few tournaments, which is good to see.  Another challenge this time of year is keeping your fish alive with the high water temps.  Make sure you keep your aerators running and pick up a bottle of Rejuvenade.  Rejuvenade is a product that revitalizes, replenishes and re-energizes fish, preparing them for release. By replacing lost energy and helping to return proper balance to the fish's system, it helps decrease recovery time and also helps to increase the survival rates of fish caught and held during tournament angling.  You can pick up a bottle of Rejuvenade at your local tackle shop for less than $15, and it should last you all year. 

This season has been very competitive at Otter Lake.  We have had 7 tournaments so far, and 7 different angler pairings have notched wins, and punched their ticket to the Classic.  Everyone else has been fighting hard to make the top 10 and qualify for the Classic.  The top 10 has changed every week, proving that every fish counts!  If the season ended today, the following teams would be qualified for the Classic:

King - Caselton (Tournament Winners)

Rosentreter - Overmeyer

Hartman - Pocklington

Law - Wiley (Tournament Winners)

Leitschuh - Leitschuh

Hankins - Revelle

Manning - Goodman

Wyatt - Fyalka

Archer - Gretak

Bearden - Bearden

Korunka - Durbin

Dickson - Dietrich

Viehweg - Grejtak (Tournament Winners)

Machota - Billings (Tournament Winners)

Bartels - Tate (Tournament Winners)

Fawns - Venturini (Tournament Winners)

Meyers - Snow (Tournament Winners)

With 4 tournaments remaining, there is still plenty of time for that to change!  The Classic will be held Saturday, September 20th from 6am-2pm.  Remember, $5 from every entry fee during the season is added to the Classic purse, so it is definitely something to shoot for!

Good luck to everyone the rest of the season, and safe fishing!
