BAILEY’S HARBOR — A year without tournaments appears to have been good for the fish.
Andrew and Joe Sharpe topped the leader board after day 1 of the Bailey’s Harbor Brown Trout Tournament with a 36.5 inch, 29.05 pound impressive fish.
Compare that to Michael Shephard, who won the 2019 Baileys Harbor Brown Trout Tournament with a trophy fish of 33.5-inch, 22.83 pounds, and competition this year will be fierce.
Alan Schmidt of team Team Greystone Castle had the second-place fish at 17.35 pounds.
Tim Daul ended the day in third with a 16.99-pound fish. UPDATED RESULTS HERE.
After a generally overcast and windy day the first day of the tournament, things should improve today.
The winds will be primarily from the north at 10 to 15 MPH. However, later in the day, the winds should shift to the northeast bringing cool air off the lake. Waves on the bayside should be 1 foot or less, with northerly swells still be present. READ MORE
