There is a 5 fish, 15″ minimum The cost is $70 per team (there is also an optional $10 pot for biggest walleye/sauger). This is a 100% payback tournament and also is the last RCL qualifier for the 2004 RCL Championship. We also give $150 prizes for: Largest fish that is not a walleye, sauger or saugeye; least weight with a 5 fish limit; and new this year the Goose Egg Award, which will be a drawing for all teams that come in with no walleye, sauger or saugeye to weigh. We also have plenty of refreshments for everyone after the weigh-in. It is a great time and we have one of the biggest tournouts for local tournaments. Please feel free to give me a caoo at 651-345-5035 if you want more info or flyers sent to you.

Sincerely,

Thanks Jim. I think Gator Hunter and I are going to fish. I think he will get a flier. If not ,I’ll pm you later. Thanks again.

Can we enter the day of the tournament or do we have to register ahead of time?

We have had in the past people sign up the morning of the tournament. It makes it a lot easier though if you can sign up the night before so we can have your packet ready and I can have the pay-out checks completed prior to the start of the tournament as I will be fishing also. Hopefully this helps.

Jim

Is there a meeting the night before that we can sign up at? Also, do you Jim or anyone else know the name of the campground in Lake City?

Lake Pepin Campground 1-651-345-2909 Merri Lea Smith is the Manager. Her and her Husband Ken own Smittys Marine in Lake City 1-651-345-3990 too if you need any items there.
Thanks, Bill

Thanks Bill for giving the Campground Information. Yes, we will be having a meeting Friday evening (8/13 7:00 pm) at the American Legion in Lake City. The address is 224 S. Washington St., Lake City. The American Legion is really close to the Lake City Marina. Just look for the Yellow Dodge Ram parked in front (my wife made me buy that truck so she could always find me!!! Along with everyone else!!)
We should have openings that evening to sign up. Try to get there by 6:30 PM, so I can get you all set up. We are currently at 50 boats, so we are expecting between 80-90 this year.
