Lucky Craft Pros Battle Amistad

Lucky Craft pros competed in the first regular season Elite Series tournament of 2009 this past weekend on Lake Amistad.  When it comes to fishing this large body of water which stretches across the US-Mexico border, it helps when Mother Nature is in a good mood.  However, that was not the case heading into the 2009 “Battle on the Border.”  Below are the standings for the Lucky Craft pro staff.  The full article will be available soon on Lucky Craft’s company Web site.
