Fished the Royal Vol Fird Dept ice tournament Sunday and on the lake a while Saturday to check it out. Its been a couple years sense we’ve made that event but the lake doesn’t look to have changed much.
Its a nice little event, BBQ & Calcutta Saturday night and several door prizes after but don’t plan on fill’n the freezer. Of the 45 teams entered we had one 7″ keeper bluegill and I only saw 10 other buckets go to weigh-in. (My cat couldn’t make a meal of the whole lot if they dumped’em all together)
Think there was one 15″ bass, and RedHorse sucker about 2pounds to fight it out for big fish, I saw one 12″ trout, a couple 9″ crappie, and maybe 20 bluegill total that may need to be put on a stretcher to make the 7″ limit.
I don’t mind the lake for a tournament, a few right bites and anybody can win, but if you’re look’n for a meal of fresh fish?????? You might want to spend your time elsewhere.
