Take a Kid Fishing Fundraiser


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, don't know if many of you are golfers out there, but I recently got done putting together the 2nd Annual Denny Phelps Memorial Golf Tourney. The event is Sat Sept 23rd. Details are:

Friday eve Phelps Fish Fry at Turtle River Golf(aka Castle's) 6pm

Sat 10 am shotgun start 18 holes four person texas scramble golf.

Dinner and awards banquet 71 bar immediately after golf. I would say approx 5pm.

Entry fee is $50 per person-entry includes fish fry, golf, and 71 bar dinner after tourney. Five dollars out of each entry will be donated in Denny's name to Take A Kid Fishing. If you want to just attend Fish Fry Fri, the cost is only $5 and it will go to Take A Kid Fishing.

Sign up for tourney is at 71 bar and Turtle River Golf.

Thank You!!!!

Yeah Chris I know, Squirrel started putting this together for this date. It was the only time it could be. I knew it was the same time, but I need to do this. It will raise money for a good organization and a lot of people will have a lot of fun and have great food. Including me!! I have been having fishing withdrawals though, I would like to fish this tourney. It is well ran. Good luck to you. Take care.

Looks like I have to go get the clubs out of storage that I just put in there last weekend. The wife and I will be a team. Man that should be funny to watch. We haven't golfed all year, but it is a great time to spend time together and support TAK Fishing! grin.gif

Matt- Do we create our own team, or is it a drawing? I guess I should have read the whole post before my last one!

Scott - you need to create your own team. four people on a team. you can sign up by calling turtle river golf at 586-2681, or 71 bar during the day at 586-2274 talk to Terry, or you can call me at 586-2953 or 766-3818. leave a message if you can. Scott - if you don't think you want to play, or can't, you can at least attend the fish fry on friday eve and pay $5, or more if you want, that will go to take a kid fishing. I sincerely appreciate your interest.

No problem Matt- I talked to the wife about it and we are thinking about it. We will take in the fish fry for sure and see what happens from there.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
