Calamus Reservoir
June 22-23, 2019
The third stop for this years Nebraska Walleye Association tournaments was at Calamus reservoir. Once again, the anglers had to fight through some rain but at least we did not have the nasty wind like at Sherman. Overall, it was a great turnout and fishing was good. In total 160 walleye were caught for a total of 288.14lbs for both days.
Fish were caught throughout the entire lake system. A lot of the nicer fish were caught on the north side of Nunda Shoals on the break using crank baits. The west end also produced well using crank baits in the 8-10 feet range. Some fish were caught using bottom bouncers and night crawlers as well. The white bass and drum were also wanting in on some action as anglers had to fight through them to get to the Walleyes.
Congratulations to the all the teams who placed in the money and especially to the winners! Saturday, Bill McGannon and Brian Hunke won with 13.83lbs. Ken Seffron and Karen Class got second, Steve Williams and Dustin Whitmire got third. Jake Whipple and Austin Svoboda got fourth. Nate and Landon Stender got fifth.
