    I’m willing to bet we’ll see 30-40 teams for this early season event. For those not wanting to mail in their entry form we will be holding a registration meeting at 4 Season Sport in Red Wing, MN from 5 – 7 PM this Friday. Also, should you have any questions about tournament rules or just want to stop down and visit, please feel welcome to come in to 4 Seasons from 5 – 7 PM Friday and visit with us.

    See ya’ there!

    Looks good Jon. I know Everts had around 3-6 teams sign up this weekend that are not on the list right now

    With the highs only expected to be in the low 20’s on Saturday, what is the expectation on kept fish? Are we going for a live release? That would always be my preference. If so, any recommendations on keeping the livewell and pump from freezing?

    Yes, this will be a live release tourney. You may want to bring a 5-gallon bucket to add water to your well in case your pump freezes.

    Thanks,

    Hey Jon J,

    I wonder if would be possible to post your tournaments reports in txt or htm formats so those of us without Excel could view them? When in Excel you should be able to just do a “save as” and select a different “type”.

    Thanks
