Looks like its time

Now that the flats are bitting, its time once again for another contest. If the past weekend wasn’t enough of a reason to be out on a river.
Contest to be held this saturday May 30th, from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am Sunday morning.
Boundries will be:
Mississippi will be from the Lower St Anothony lock down streeam to include all of pool two (Ford damn down to the Hastings damn).
Minneasota river from The trussel bridge in Carver down stream to the confluence.
The St. Croix river from Oceaola (sp) down to Stillwater,

A control item will be given out the night of the contest via the voicemail at the shop so bring a piece of paper and a maker with you.
Entry cost is $10.00 per person, and must be done prior to close of business at the shop on the day of the contest.

The fees will cover the top two places for flatheads and channels.

Pictures with the control item must be submitted by 10:00am Sunday morning to this post. All pictures must not be altered in any way. Have a good time and be careful out there……..

I was going to PM you and start to bug you about it. I thought maybe you were giving up since only I showed up to the end of the year celebration.

i just may have to give this a shot…

See ya this week Bob!

Good luck! it should be a close one

Good luck everyone!!

Jennie and I will be out somewhere, should be a good one

This should be a fun one. Shamu and Flatcaster will have Rory with his new spiderman pole in the boat as acting mascot and luck charm…. though it won’t be a late one, we should be able to get business done…..
Here is what happened last time we took Rory out for a Flathead adventure.
Gocat (tony have your phone on mate)
Rory’s first Flathead adventure with Shamu and Dad (Flatcaster)

Roger that

Maybe we’ll see ya tonight, pretty sure we are going out of 169

Hey Bob! I wonder if we could get Jeff to kick in a “special” award if the winning cats were caught with a Team Cat Fish product?

Kind of what Skeeter Boat Center does…If you take first place in any tourney and are fishing out of a Skeeter…it’s an automatic $1000.00.

Not that I would expect Jeff to kick out a grand for fishing with a Double Action hook!

Just thinking really loud here.

After last night my boat partner and I decided to go back to Bass fishing. We never did pre fish for the contest so we took our chances out there, and they didn’t pay off. We did manage to catch a 24″ channel so we could say we caught one. It had been over a year since we had last seen one, with guide trips included……

As always mixed reports are coming in this morning, so the pictures will have to tell the real tale of the tape. It was nice out there last night, but well past my bedtime…

Thanks for taking part look forward to doing it again next month…..with better results for us I hope……

We did alright.

Channel was 30″ x 18″
Flathead was 39.5″ x 25″

Congrats to all that were in this one. Shamu and I had to back out… Need a little more lead time on these contests to get firm plan set.

I predict larry won’t win this one. Jake, nice fish.

I wish I didn’t have to miss it as well. Nice fish there. I am making up for it a little this evening.

By the way, I see you named another control item after me Bob. I am coming up for bullies today…if you have any left.

I wish I was on the right pools.

Nice fish Jake!

Quite the predictor we have here.
Who did you put your money on that participated in this one?

Fun time for sure! The Cats weren’t cooperating like we had hoped but we did manage a 30.5″ Walleye and a 17lb Carp..

Note to boat-mates, listen to Pier when he tells you to bring warm clothing!….

Thanks Bob! you are the MAN!…!..

Our 2 best…

Channel 27 x 17.5

Flathead 36 x 23

Here is the only fish of the night. 23 x 12.5
