July 21, 2010 Minnetonka, MN—Great fishing, world-class competition and hefty payouts will collide when the Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit returns to Big and Little Bays de Noc out of Escanaba, Michigan, September 11-12.

 

“We’ve got a good mix of year-classes and there are big fish to be found,” says Darren Kramer, area fisheries manager for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

 

Indeed, and MWC veteran Steve Bodinger of Chilton, Wisconsin, is expecting big things. “It’s a great fishery and good time of year to be there—we should see the beginning of the fall bite,” he says. “With the slot limit gone, we could see some big weights come in.” And make no mistake, Bodinger knows big walleyes. This April, he and brother Dan won the MWC’s Detroit River Eastern Division Qualifier with a monster two-day bag of 10 fish weighing 72.59 pounds, good for $17,400 in cash and prizes.
