“Rock River Gold”
Walleye Tournament
MEMORANDUM – 4/22/2013
Hello all,
As I’m sure most of you are aware, the Mid Western United States is experiencing dangerously high waters on many different lakes and rivers. The upper Rock River, Lake Koshkonong and the lower Rock River are all included in this high water catastrophe. Currently, almost all the area boat launches are closed until further notice. Waterfront property owners along the Rock River and Lake Koshkonong are currently in a state of emergency. Due to the current high water conditions of the Rock River and Lake Koshkonong I have made the decision to postpone the “Rock River Gold” Walleye Tournament until Saturday, May 11th 2013. I have already spoken with John Kinnet of the Anchor Inn and he has approved the new date of Saturday, May 11th. Fishing times will remain from 7:00am to 5:00pm. Please find your place in line on the river by 6:50am so you are ready to depart by 7:00am. It’s very likely that the entire Rock River will still be under a no-wake restriction on May 11th so there will be no delay between boats during the departure process. At 7:00am a single air horn will signal the “ok” for all boats to depart. Once again I am reminding you that it is likely that the entire Rock River will be under a no-wake restriction. This means absolutely no-wake from the Anchor Inn until you are out in the lake and absolutely no-wake in the upper river as well. There is a 100’ no-wake restriction on Lake Koshkonong at all times, meaning there is no-wake allowed within 100 feet of any shoreline. Please make sure to follow all no-wake restrictions, failure to do so could mean your immediate disqualification from the tournament. Hopefully this postponement will give the river and lake a little time to lower and make conditions a little bit safer for all of us. Safety should be the number one concern for everyone involved in this tournament. I thought everyone should know that one of the participants in the 2013 tournament is Law Enforcement Officer and active member of the Rock River Safety Patrol, Ryan Peterson. Ryan will be off duty during the tournament, but Ryan always has his eyes open for boaters that are in violation of no-wake and other boating restrictions. If by Saturday, May 11th the river has not yet receded enough for our boats to make it under the highway 59 bridge, then I have decided that the re-schedule date would be Saturday, June 1st 2013. As of now the Tournament will be held on Saturday, May 11th 2013 from 7:00am to 5:00pm. If there are any changes I will contact all of you. Due to the restrictions of Lake-Link.com I am not allowed to post any type of tournament information on the threads. However, all of the latest updated information regarding the “Rock River Gold” Walleye Tournament and the Rock River Walleye League can be found at: http://www.idofishing.com/forum/postlist.php/Board/rock/rock-river-placeholder-wi Once again, I thank all of you for your participation in the 2013 “Rock River Gold” Walleye Tournament and I apologize for any inconvenience that this postponement has caused you or your partner. Hopefully this tournament turns out to be a major success so that it may continue on annually!!

Any spots left and are you cleared for launching at Anchor Inn? 
Spinner rigs with silver hatchet blades did the trick. Might have been working on the ‘eyes but they kept coming unbuttoned. I might have to open the hook gap up for better hooking percentages.
