"We put together a great pattern last weekend fishing the Center of the Nation Walleye Tournament which included pulling spinners in 20+ foot of water. One key to our success was using Minnkota Tackle custom painted spinner blades! Thanks Pete McGinty" Kelly Maser

Minnkota Tackle News:
Slow Death Dakota Rigs are now available in (9) colors!!! Just added to the on-line store, Blue Sparkle, Green Tiger and Orange Tiger Slow Death Dakota Rig! Check out our Slow Death Dakota Rigs and our Slow Death Prop Rigs, these are super effective on those days when the walleyes do not want to chase a bulky spinner rig. Here is an opening day photo of Michael Grussing's group. "Opening Day Minnkota Tackle Spinner Victims"

The second stop on the 2019 Tournament Trail took Pete McGinty and Isaac Pauly to Big Stone Lake, in Ortonville, MN for the Minnesota Tournament Trail Event. Saturday's event was a tough bite for the team, where they only managed to catch bass and came in with zero walleyes. Sunday's event was also a tough bite more most anglers with 18 teams coming to the scales with 0 fish, McGinty and Pauly brought in 2 fish weighing 8.84 lbs, including a 25" that weighed 6.1 lbs. This was good for a 5th place finish on Sunday, including $476, plus an addtional $100 MTT Skeeter Boat Center Incentive.

The third stop on the 2019 Tournament Trail took Pete McGinty and Dallas Croatt to Big Stone Lake, in Ortonville, MN for the Big Stone Liquor Store Walleye Tournament. The weather was less than ideal with strong 15 to 25 mph south winds. McGinty and Croatt started out fishing a wind blown rock pile that yielded a 19 7/8" and 21 1/4" walleye. They then pulled crankbaits in the basin of the lake, catching two more 19" walleyes. They were one fish short of a limit, weighing in 4 fish for 10.58 lbs and finished in 12th place out of 57 teams, 2 lbs out of third place. Isaac Pauly and Cody Enger also competed in this event, they caught 1 fish, a 24' walleye weighing 5.5 lbs.
Fourth stop on the 2019 Tournament Trail took Pete McGinty and Dallas Croatt back to Big Stone Lake for the Moose Lodge Walleye Tournament. The two finished in 6th place with 4 fish for 9.45 lbs. Unfortunately they watched a mid 20” fish come unbuttoned 15 ft behind the boat. But that's why they call it fishing and not catching!
Fifth stop on the 2019 Tournament Trail was at Lac qui Parle Lake for the 2nd Annual Pauly Larson Memorial Walleye Tournament. Pete McGinty and Patrick Miller took 15th place out of a 70 boat field with 2 fish for 9.21 lbs. Cody Enger and Tom Halvorson took 21st place with 3 fish for 7.23 lbs. Joe Bungarden and and Josh Ludvigson finished in 41st place with 1 fish for 1.47 lbs.
Sixth Stop on the 2019 Tournament Trail was the Glacial Lakes Mid-season Event on Bitter Lake. Isaac Pauly and Jake Rewerts placed 6th with 5 fish for 14.67lbs. They were just 2+ lbs out of first place. Nice finish guys!
7th stop on the 2019 Tournament Trail was the 40th Annual Lac qui Parle Walley Tournament on Lac qui Parle Lake. It was a tough bite for most anglers. Isaac Pauly and Chris Pauly finished in 14th place out of 60 teams, weighing 2 fish for 3.75 lbs. Joe Bungarden and Cole Bungarden, Pete McGinty and Shannon Larson failed to catch any weighable fish.

Pete McGinty and Cody Enger weighed 6 fish for 16.5lbs and finished in 8th place out of 99 teams, good for $500 in prize money. The two pulled Minnkota Tackle spinners and Slow Death Dakota Rigs in the South basin of the lake. The key was finding areas with weeds and pulling over the top of them.
