Mark Modrak finishes 3rd in first FLW Tour Major effort
St. Clair expert Mark Modrak of China Township, Mich., rallied to third place on day four with an 18-pound, 11-ounce limit.
St. Clair expert Mark Modrak of China Township, Mich., rallied to third place with an 18-pound, 11-ounce limit for a two-day total of 31 pounds, 4 ounces worth $40,000 in his first FLW Tour Major appearance during the Detroit River event July 10 – 13, 2008.
Modrak focused his fishing effort on the mouths of the rivers leading into St. Clair. The first two days he fished out deep, but when that pattern dwindled he relied on his local knowledge and fished shallow flats in the rivers.
His two main baits were a tube (watermelon with purple/black flake) on a ¼-ounce head and a Berkley Gulp! Alive Emerald Shiner on a drop-shot.
