McKee's take

Received a nice little e-mail from Stu McKee the other day. Here's his take on Lake Tetonka:

"The Tetonka tournament should be a good one, and as of this last week there are a good number of walleye's biting. There are a bunch of fish in the 13 inch range, but the lake is giving up some nice 17-inch fish."

McKee says the Aug. 25, regular-season finale at Tetonka is shaping up to be a good one. He says the approach for he and teammate Roger Kramer will likely be the same.

"I've been getting some new lure from J.B. Lures and some new fishing line from Premium superlines (FINS Fishing) in the 30 and 50 pount test. This has really helped
Roger and I put some very big fish in the boat."

McKee said the trick is to stay in shallow water. To be fair to him, I won't give away the exact depths he is shooting for, just in case any of his competition is reading this blog. But I will say this, you'd be surprised at just how shallow they go.

The purpose of the heavy line is to allow them to get into tough spots and not worry about breaking their line, and also to keep their lures "up a bit."

We'll see if that strategy works or not.
