Hi everyone..sorry it took a bit to get on board…First I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who participated..we ended up with 86 boats and raised almost $8,000.00 to give to the charities for this year. Guys, hopefully someone can help me out..we make like 20 copies of the final fishing results and hand them out at the Elk’s..I leave town the next morning and usually don’t ever see the results again…I know for 5 fish 1st place was almost 24 pounds..23.8 comes to mind…second and third were very close to that…we pay biggest walley and that was what LABSRULE had, 10.2 or something like that..there was another very close to that, and a few in the 7 to 8 pound range..the most impressive was in our “junkfish” category (sorry Catfish lovers)..I know they are not junk fish..just our term for non-walleye/sauger…anyway 46 pounds!!!!!the thing was very impressive!!! If someone really wants to know for sure how they finished in the Pooh Bear..I could see if one of the volunteers still has a copy…let me know..otherwise, again– THANK YOU!! and hope to see you next year!!!!Scott Loer, Pooh Bear Open

Many great tournaments to fish, however a perfect one for you…is the Pooh Bear Open. It is the first Saturday in June, registration forms are available at 4-seasons in RW, and also at Everetts..Cost is $25.00 per fisherman..it is a very casual event, although competition is usually very strong…It’s a fundraiser event, although the top fisherman have always been paid atleast $500.00 and it pays down to 7th place I believe…the area donates a ton of stuff and there is a huge prize raffle…everyone leaves with something. We have always had over 60 boats, and included in your $25.00 is a very nice dinner at the Elk’s club after the day….Contact John at 651-388-3571 or Scott at 952-210-3803 for more details…hope to see you there!!
