Event Info

This stop of the Hobie Bass Open Series Anchored by Power-Pole, takes us back to La Crosse, WI and the Mighty Mississippi River.  Over the years pools 7,8, and 9 have been host to countless high level professional tournaments due to the plentiful population of Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass.  Anglers will get to have their choice of main river and backwater fishing opportunities along with ample vegetation, current, rocks, and islands in this unique river fishery.

Anglers will be competing for a cash payout of 10% of the field, and the top 3 non- qualified anglers will earn their spot in our Tournament of Champions this November on Lake Eufaula in Eufaula, AL.  Many random giveaway prizes will be awarded as well.

Event Boundaries:

Anglers can launch at any public access on pools 7,8, and 9 of the Mississippi River and its connected ‘backwaters’.  The eastern launch boundaries will be ramps/public access along or to the west of Great River Road/Highway 35. The western launch boundaries will be ramps/access along or east of Great River Road (X52) and Highway 26, Highway 16, Highway 14/61. Anglers must launch within the boundaries but can pedal or paddle up a tributary as far as they can.  No portaging is allowed. Body of water must be connected and navigable to the Mississippi to be considered legal.

Anglers are responsible for confirming their launch is legal.

Anglers must have a legal fishing license for the waters they are fishing. Special rules, regulations and agreements apply when fishing the Upper Mississippi River. Reciprocity agreements between Wisconsin and the states of Iowa and Minnesota allow a person to fish the boundary waters on the Mississippi River providing they have a valid fishing license from one of the adjacent states. The boundary waters area is defined by the railroad tracks that parallel both sides of the river. However, residents must possess a resident license when fishing in their own states boundary waters. Regulations between Wisconsin and the other states differ so anglers must obey the regulations in the state they are fishing.
