Anyone fishing the Croix Tourny this weekend?

Just wondering if I’ll see any new faces this weekend at the Beanies Tourny?

I need to know who to watch out for!

Hey Brian, what are the details of the tourney? How many boats, and how far can you run? Wondering if I should try to make time and get out there, or try to shoot a duck or a deer??

Hey Ritt!

From Prescott to Stillwater I believe. Here’s the rest.
(PS) I could use some help taking that prize money away from Turk!

The entry fee is $20 per person, reardless of age. Contest begins at 7:00am, Saturday, September 25 and ends at 3pm, Saturday, September 25th. Cash prizes will be awarded for fish in the following three categories; 1) Biggest Walleye (fish entered in Biggest Walleye connot be used in Heaviest Stringer), 2) Heaviest Stringer (Walleye & Sauger combination), 3) Biggest, Ugliest. A drawing will be held for prizes, donated by our sponsors, at 3:30pm on Saturday (immediately following the end of the contest). All proceeds go to the “St Croix Valley Youth Service Bureau”; an organization committed to improveing the lives of young people by developing healthy families and communities through education, prevention and early intervention.

Do you have to pay to launch too? Do you have to launch at beanies?

Yes there is a launch fee…but because of the tourny…If you can, I would launch somewhere else.

Hey! Here’s a deal for you! If you take away the first place prize from Turk, I’ll pay your $20 entry fee!

It would be worth it to see the look on his face….
Am I mean or what!?

Wow Brian, you might get a big wet fish upside the head?? I wish I could help out and take your $20, but I don’t know where Turk finds those big boys.

Last winter he was thinking if he could get away with dropping me in a hole…but he wouldn’t have been able to hide my truck.

THAT’s the whole problem! He doesn’t have a “secret” spot. There’s always fisherman around him. Personally, I think it some top secret formula ….like “Turkjuice”.

I plan on fishing close to him wearing my bright yellow IDA speedo, in hopes of throwing him off. Thanks for reminding me, I need to get some beach sand to toss in his boat….

Solunar table shows Sat from 0830-1330 as excellent. Hope that helps.

After all this “Turk” talk I bet I’m jinxed!!! Now I’m just shooting for six walleyes to weigh in!
Turk

Ps…I let them know at Beanies, that if they want folks to come…they have to start using pictures that don’t give a person nightmares!

Hokey-Pokey Hinkey-doo, I put the briank jinkz on you….

Gotta give use mere amatures a chance you know….

Hey Brian. I know a spot where there are some good eyes. PM me if you want directions.

How does the river look? What is the water clarity? Any garbage/trees/etc floating down river?

Going to be chasing muskies this Sunday and looking for conditions.

Thanks!!!

On Monday the water clarity looked pretty good. River definitely came up but I didn’t see any debris in Croix. Now the Miss that’s another story. Syrup with logs. Looked kinda like a toilet on Sat morning.

Gary, she’s puuurrrrty clear. Saturday sound like it’s going to be wild! Sunday too!

Suzuki…I’ll do anything to keep the money out of Turk’s hands this year….PM….hell I’m calling you!!!!!

Id’e be in the tourney too but I hate loosing…..

Six, heck I’d be happy to find one or two dumb ones. Just to remember what they look like

Yes yes, it’s going to be tough competing agains Turk and the other Pros…if there is any. So alternate plan B is to come in with the biggest ugly. One rod for flats with live bait and the other with a worm and cut bait for a channel or sturgeon.

It’s my only chance since you guys when in hiding!

Hey there’s a thought…get 5 or 6 IDA members to fish, I’ll take the 6 biggest in to be weighed! Sort of a community tourny…

Likely to be some rule about that though
