LAKE WINNEBAGO (WTAQ) – Preparations in full swing Thursday for an annual fishing tournament on Lake Winnebago.
Event President Glenn Curran expects this weekend’s 11th annual ‘Battle on the Bago’ to go better than last year’s, where warm temperatures forced them to call off the fishing portion.
“Our first year we had 300 people fish in it. Now, we have close to 8,000 people fishing.”
Otter Street Fishing Club’s Don Herman suggests not having more than one vehicle at any time on one of the bridges that have been placed.
“Stay away from the mouth of the river. There is a map out there. If you see the cracks, any place in red, stay away.”
The tournament runs Friday and Saturday.
Proceeds benefit youth and conservation efforts throughout the Fox Valley.
