Where is the Izaak walton club at, is it on the river? What do you mean by not trailering your boat? Thanks

I’ll contact the person who provided me with the information and let him know that you have a question about the tournament. Thanks, Bill

The Isaak walton Club is the small shelter located right next to the ramp at Bay Point Park.

In the past trailering was allowed. Once the tournament officially started you had the option to trailer your boat to another launch of your choice. Some guys towed/trailered their boat to Wasbasha or Lake City versus motoring down via water if they were on a good bite. Looks like that has changed.

Hey guys..I’m not on the site too much, so I will try and answer questions quickly, The Issaac walton where they will be doing everything is near Colville Park..just to the north and before the power plant..in “the little river” on the MN side…If you are at the marina just to the north of colville park, you can see the Issaac walton from there..It is VERY easy to find..I know all the invitations that were sent out had a map in them..as it was a change from previous tournaments..using the contact info from above would get you a map sent out..if you still do not know where it is..or call me..952-210-3803

It is not the shelter by bay point, that we have used in the past..Thanks you thou for your help.

I am one of the contact people!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt Schmidt

Call me and I will help you out on were it is, how to get there and why we did this, and a few of the other rule changes

to the top

You will notice that the Poohbear and Port of Call tournament directors got together and have planned for their tournaments to be on different weekends. For years they were both on the same weekend. Now, started last year I believe, everyone can fish both if they like and have more fun this way. THANKS guys.
Thanks, Bill

Getting a lot of boats..should be another GREAT year..I’m really looking forward to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is tomorrow guys!!! Who all is going to be there. These guys run a great tournament and the meal afterwards is worth the entry fee. Jesse and I will be fishing this—any other IDO folks?

I will be down there. Hopefully I can find this Issac Walton place. Never been there before.

I started a new post..looking for results..pooh bear results..
guse/goering 5 fish 29.5(ish)..as i recall.(1st place)
anyone having the results..feel free to list them under the new post..or here..Thanks
