freeze your butt tournament

For those of you that don’t check the tournament forum much…check it out. I posted some info about the pool 4 tourney this saturday. Thanks

I received the permit in the mail today for the tournament, so it’s a go! I also added the forecast for the next few days. The temps aren’t too bad, but flurries/rain off and on. Hope to see a bunch of you on Saturday morning. Tournament starts at 7. Just show up to enter. The fee is $20/boat.

What’s the bite been like? How many guys are you expecting? I think I will try and make it.

I’ll be there rain sleet or snow and it sounds like like we will get it all so hope all of you can still make it.

talk to you later

Well it’s 1AM here thurs night/friday morning. It has been raining/snowing/thundering/lightening/sleeting. Not as bad as it sounds. There is only about 1/4 inch of slush.

The bite has been getting a little better. The walleyes still seem to be hard if not impossible to catch. Talked to one boat yesterday that had 3-4 eyes though that were legal. The sauger bite is quite a bit better than it was! That’s not saying a wholel lot, BUT…..quite a few boats have reported some 18-19 inch sauger. One boat two days ago said they had 18-20 sauger over 15 inches. So that is a good sign. If you’re lucky enough to get a big eye or two, you just might have a chance at winning the tournament. Although somebody always seems to “find em” the day of a tournament, so we’ll see what happens. Maybe the fish needed this weird weather to wake them up! Maybe they will think that thunder means it’s May!! Lets hope so! Good Luck to all! Cya Saturday!

How far is the backwater channel open?

I don’t need a WI liecens to launch from thier do I ?

I have two brothers that want to fish tommorow, can we go three to aboat? I would expect to pay for third person also $40.00 for our boat.

Thank you!

As of wednesday the WI channel was froze tight just north of 5th cut and as far north as I could see. Looked like fairly solid ice. That was two days ago though…

I’m not sure about 3 to a boat. I’m not the one in charge of the rules for that. Not sure if that guy visits this site often or not. Maybe somebody that fished it in the past could help you out…..anyone?

Oh ya, and you don’t need a WI license to launch here.

Hey!

How did this go????

Or better yet, did it go???

Tuck- see the tournament form. It went, and the results and pictures are posted there.

Thanks!
