Cold Front puts Chill on
Anglers and Fish | It had all the makings of a
big weight tournament to
start BDBA's 2008 season.
Warming water temps, a
steady weather pattern, and
pre-spawn fish looking for
an easy meal. What took
place instead was a strong
cold front that dropped
water temps from 62 to 47
degrees during a 2-day
period leading up to the
tournament. Many BDBA
anglers struggled through a
long day, chasing bass with
a bad case of lock-jaw. A
total of 15 anglers out of
26 came to the scales with-
out registering a fish, and
even the anglers who did
find fish were fortunate to
do so as no one filled a
limit on this day. Still, the
fish that were caught were
quality in size as the Top
finishers registered solid
weights for the fish they
had. The tough day left
many anglers wondering
what might have been!

BDBA Donates to Badger
2 Fish Car Restoration | Club members recently
made a donation to the
Mid Continent Railway Mu-
seum who are restoring a
1912 railway car that was
once used to transport fish
for stocking lakes and stre-
ams. The railway car, known
as the Badger #2 Fish Car
is the only one remaining
of its kind. BDBA members
felt it was important to sup-
port the preservation of an
important piece of Wiscon-
sin Fishing History. For
more information on the
Badger #2 Fish Car, visit

| Charlie Voight Jumps to Early Lead |
Charlie Voight has been on a roll early into the 2008
season. Just one week after winning an open tourn-
ament on Buffalo Lake, he returned to lead the way in
BDBA's first club event of the season. Although fishing
proved to be somewhat tougher on this day, Charlie
managed to find 3 good bass for a total of 12lbs. 5ozs.
which gave him the victory for this event. Taking 2nd
Place was Eric Hidde of Waupun who weighed in 4
fish for a total of 10lbs. 5ozs. 3rd Place honors went
to club rookie Scott Seggerman who weighed in 2 fish
for a total of 6lbs. 15ozs. Congratulations to all the
top finishers!
