Lake Springfield
Digiovanna and Copp take first
 Our second stop of the 2008 Season was on Lake Springfield located in Springfield Illinois. We had a total of 59 pro Anglers and 51 Co-Anglers competing in the Event. During the Week of the Tournament we experienced warm weather and the Bass were wanting to move up. I spoke with several Anglers throughout the Week who were experiencing very good Fishing and quality Fish being found. Late in the Week though a major cold front hit the area accompanied by Rain. The change in conditions really hampered the Angling.
