Dip McMillan kicks off this week’s report with a recap of a successful fishing tournament held at Hubbard’s Landing, where they saw a fantastic turnout with 156 kids and 29 boats in the adult division. Every child walked away with a prize, and the event was a massive success, thanks to the support of the community and sponsors. Dip also shares his recent win at a crappie tournament at Banks Lake. Despite tough conditions, he made a strategic change in tactics by using a cork with a minnow, which led to a series of big crappie catches and ultimately secured his victory. Dip predicts that as temperatures drop in mid to late September, the fishing will improve significantly, particularly for crappie. He also mentions his plans for next year’s tournament, with sponsors already lining up to support the event.
