On October 7th and 8th 2023 the District 10 IL/IN Semi Finals was held on the Mississippi River Pools 18 and 19 Launched at Fort Madison Iowa. This event was hosted by the Illinois Bass Federation.
Registration for the event was held Friday evening at the Quality Inn Fort Madison.
There were 109 Boaters and 109 co-anglers competing in the event to qualify for spots for the 2024 TBF National Tournament next spring. Location TBD.
Illinois qualified 1 boater and 1 co-angler and Indiana qualified 2 boaters and 2 co-anglers.
The weather was warm during practice on Wed and Thurs. A cold front and high winds came through on Friday to start the cold front for the event on Saturday and Sunday making fishing more difficult for most anglers.
Those who found biting fish did very well.
