Just to get a rough idea….if the weather is 30 or above….how many people plan to fish the tourney? Thanks

Me !!

Thanks for the info Steve. I did a cut and paste of both your post here and posted it on the FTL Tournament Forum in case anyone on FTL would be interested. Thanks, Bill

We will be there – hopefully a bit nicer weather than last year!

I will be there!

oh man,

how can you guys even think about having a fishing tournament on OPENING DAY of CROW SEASON.

it’s only open for a month you know.

i quess i’ll have to watch the weather and decided. i just haven’t shot a gun for so long.

I believe Jon and I will be coming down.

Walleyechick and pfluggy will got to be above 30.

Do you think I will get it for skipping out on my inlaws wedding?
I wonder if they can get another singer?
Best of luck guys and gals. I better take care of business.

Make a recording for them to play?????? Just an idea!

Maybe I could get one of those moving manakins to take my place too. That might work!!!!!!!!!
Naaaaa!!!!!!!! For sure she ( my Mother in law) would want to give me a hug and break me. I wouldn’t want to hear about it for the rest of my/her life.

Guess I’m a little wipped. And would like to continue fishing and hunting. Have a good time.

A little whipped?????? Your going to hear about it either way! Might as well get a manaquin.At least that way you won’t need to hear the screaching!!!!

Thanks for the advise Bro.
Redwing on Friday ?
Let me know.

Could someone share the tournament rules for this event.

thanks in advance,

Ecnook…..I hope you weren’t lying in bed thinking about this at 2:25 AM. You have some weird hours man! I’ll give Bruce a call and see what I can find out from him. Stay tuned……..

tossin and a turnin !!

Six fish. Can be walleye, sauger, saugeye. Are you fishing it? Thanks, Bill

Yes I’m fishing it….

Is that six fish per team ? or pp ?

what happens if one doesn’t make it to the weigh-in alive ?

Six fish per team. I can’t remember if there is any penalty for a dead fish or not for sure but I don’t think so.

Just a little update……the weather man is calling for 38 degrees this Saturday with a West wind of 12 mph. Unless that changes, it should be a great day! I got a few more details from Bruce tonight.

1. Where can I fish? Wherever you can get a boat and it’s a open season for walleye/sauger
2. How many fish does a team weigh in? 6 fish /team
3. Is there a dead fish penalty? No, you have the option to keep or release your fish. The DNR does not require one way or the other with these cold water temps.
4. Where/when can I register? At Everts Resort starting at 6AM Saturday March 1st. Tourney starts at 7AM.

If i’m forgetting anything, ask away. Thanks.

It’s time to dust the cob webs off the boat. See you Saturday!

It sounds like I better get there early, With weather like they are forcasting there should be a good turnout. I told the old man about this tourny, and he thinks we are all nuts. He already knew that about me!!

bump

bump??

bump = BTTT = “Bump to the top”

He’s trying to keep this on the first page where people will see it.

Good luck to everyone this weekend – weather looks to be a peach.
