    i didn’t fish the tournament but was in Alma fishing and it was a tough bite yesterday. But on the other hand how often do you get to fish in shorts and a tee shirt on St. Pat’s day.

    Is all of this verbal brick a brack over a money pay off for a fishing contest? It wasn’t too far back some poster posted that every thing must be going along just great with all the new boats on the water this year. That makes the prize money chuMp change and the prizes kids stuff.

    Thanks Nate, it was great to have you fish and meet your team. Good luck in Spring Valley this weekend and see you on May 12th in LaCrosse.

    The tournament was a four limit event, as they always are. It was a tough bite, but the winning team did get a limit.

    Thanks again to everyone who fished, we’re always looking to find new faces to join us.

    Tight Lines,

    Dale
