I am very thankful to all that donated and attended this event. Without you guys this would never be possible. I would like to drop a thank you to the Cottage Grove Lions Club, and the Soldiers of the MN National Guard recruiting center for their monetary donations. The Vets camp for letting us host the tournement. Our co worker Sarah for the snacks and waters. Jake and Nikki for coming out and donating Amsoil hats and oil as a thank you to the boaters. I dont want to ramble on just want to give some credit to the folks that made this event great. Lastly to Shane. Thank you for letting me team up with you on this, It was a honor!

Thanks

Will

There was a few baddies out saturday.

x3 for Limit Creek.

I had the banjo minnow as a child. I liked it but I did not know any better. It produced fish so that is good enough for me.

not a lot happening down in prescott either. was kinda entertaining watching all the MWC guys ducks in a row fishing by the prescott launch.

You did better than we did on saturday.

could be interesting..

I gutted a sharpie. Went to local hardware store and bought a bunch of little o-rings. I put all the o-rings on the sharpie. Put the worm in the sharpie and slide the o-ring on the worm. Works very well. Many more fish on one worm.

Here ya go BK. We used these in the Army and they are great..

Just throwing it out there,but try the Trip swap portion of this page. A lot of time people are always looking for someone to jump in their boat and split cost. I know this is a little off your topic but, I know there are a lot of great anglers on this page and getting out with someone that knows the river on a boat before you pick up your own I think is very important.

Still froze over from Prescott north. Ice is dark and won’t be long.

nothing huge maybe up to 35-40 lbs

I will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure.

Will not make one bit of difference IMO.The casinos have to much coin.

Awesome fish!

May just have to fight the good fight and head down to P4.
i’m not waiting until late april.

could maybe try erickson marine or 61 marine and sport

are you getting any follows? Need to fish deeper unless you want to fish the night bite.

Try trolling a lip’d crank 5-7 mph about 25-30 foot behind the boat.

Good luck.. Im alwasy looking for someone to throw some baits with send me a PM

Alarys my wife worked there for years. LOL she still have the uniforms

really wish they would put a dock in

I do have a Elite 7 with the lake insight chip. I quess I could look to see if it shows them.

Thanks for the input gents

I have seen some people referance FTR wing dam 101… Where can this be found? As far as someone heading to the river with me next saturday will probably be the next chance I have to get out if anyone is willing to show me the ropes.

Where is the auction?

The difference between 29″ and 30″ on a wall is
{———-} Just saying.. Even a 29″ fish is a very nice fish.

went out tuesday morning. It was the best smallmouth trip i have had on the river yet. Nothing huge 2 over 15′ but about 50 around 12-14″ even had a nice pike and 2 walleye. one walleye measured 21″ witch I hear is pretty good for the croix the other was 16″. started the day throwing wackey rigs but had most of the success on just a jig and 3″ grub. Most fish caught in 15-17 FOW. Did will from 0600 until we got off the water at 1200.

just go buy a 60$ deepcycle from menards.. no need to sepnd a lot of money on a battery..

What did you end up with?

I am interested in teaming up with someone for this..I am new to river fishing but I catch on quick. pun intended. shoot me a PM if you need a partner.. start is is 6am and weigh in at 2 $120 per team. that is all the info I have at this time. I do work with the guy running the tourny so if you have questions please feel free to ask and I can pass them along.
