Lake Thompson Up Next for South Dakota Circuit
of GNWC
By Steve Weisman
GNWC Publicity Director
The third stop on the South Dakota Circuit of the
Grand National Walleye
Cup (GNWC) will be held on Lake Thompson, the largest natural lake
in South
Dakota, on Sunday, June 29.
According to GNWC Executive Director Bernie Barringer,
the Lake Thompson
qualifier looks to be an exciting one. "Lake Thompson is one of the
most
popular bodies of water in South Dakota. Many anglers who fish the
lake
believe that fishing success rivals that of the Missouri River."
This third qualifier is a pivotal one in the race
for the Mercury Team
of the Year. Currently Brand Berens and Dave Andera from Sioux Falls
have a
four point lead over the team of Scott Kaufmann from Spencer and Todd
Weisz
from Parkston and the team of Darron Peterson from Humboldt and Dale
Peterson from Sioux Falls.
"This should be quite the tournament. I've talked
with Mac's Bait and
Tackle, the host bait shop, and they say fish are being caught. It
will be
interesting to see what presentation works the best," said Barringer.
According to Barringer, competing teams should be
at the Lake Thompson
Recreation Area between 6-6:30 Sunday morning to sign in and participate
in
mandatory boat inspections. "If there are some teams who decide to
enter at
the last minute, teams can still sign up on Sunday morning. Just show
up at
the park, and we'll take care of the paperwork."
The tournament hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Weigh-in
begins precisely at 3
p.m., with awards to follow. "We certainly invite people to come and
watch
the weigh-in. It will be exciting to see the weights that come in,
and it
will also be a chance for the crowd to find out what techniques worked
to
bring in fish," added Barringer.
Anglers can call 1-800-890-3474, email the GNWC
at info@walleyecup.com
or check out the official GNWC website at walleyecup.com for all of
the
latest in GNWC information.
