hey this is matt from the bait shop in waterville. i was just wondering how much it is for a single torniment. im thinking about fishing the tetonka and francis ones.

Troutman the money and sign up for "all events" is due by the 12th of June. We need to have it in by then so we can figure out the pay outs. A day either way is'nt going to matter much. We'll still get you in.

Matt the dues for single events are $50.00 per team.

These league events are two man team events. Also the Leading Edge Tournament Series is a multi-species league. You may have a mixed bag of walleye,bass,crappie,sunfish,northern pike,perch,muskie,or catfish (lake trout is also included but I doubt they will be a factor smile.gif. Any legal means of taking these fish is allowed (all state laws must be followed) live bait or artificial it doesn't matter. However you may only use one limit per species ie: 6 walleye not 12, etc.
The scoring system is based on weight converted to points 1lb of fish = 1 pt. There will also be points awarded for attendance. A special pt value is assigned to muskie any legal muskie is worth 25 pts.
A running point total will be kept towards an end of the year champion. Therefore if given the chance you should try to fish all of the events. Will be looking forward to seeing you there.

If there is anyone interested in fishing the remaining three events or even just one you can still signup.
The remaining events are:
.Lake Francis on July 17th
.Lake Zumbro on Aug 21st
.Lake Tetonka on Sept. 25th
If interested here's how to join, go to www.fishingsavvy.com and fill out the form for Southern Mn LETS and send it to the address on the form. All I ask is that you get your entry in one week before the event you intend to fish. The league fees are $50.00 per two man team for each event.
I'm hoping to see some more teams from this area sign up at least for Francis and Tetonka. The league has started and it's been fun. I believe it will only get better as the summer goes on! Come out to the events and fish along side us even if you don't fish the contest. Compare your catch with ours. You might even find you would've won if you had entered! Have fun this summer and we'll see you at the next event. smile.gif

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.

      On the South Shore...  Ice fishing remains strong across the south shore of Lake of the Woods out on Big Traverse Bay.  Resorts and outfitters on some parts of the lake have ice roads extending over 16 miles staying on nice schools of walleyes and saugers.  Many fish houses are over deep mud.  Some are on structure.  It is always fishing of course, but overall, February has been very productive for most anglers.   Extensions are being used on ice augers as the ice continues to thicken.  The thick ice this year will be good for the extended ice fishing season Lake of the Woods enjoys with fish houses out through March 31st, walleyes and saugers open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes. Most fishing activity is taking place in 26-32 feet of water.  Anglers are finding a healthy mix of walleyes and saugers, with a good number of jumbo perch in the mix this year.  Some big eelpout are also showing up.  Anglers are reporting plenty of fish for fresh fish frys and usually extra fish to bring home.   The one-two punch of a jigging line and deadstick is the way to go.  On the jigging line, jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head have been consistent.  Lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures also doing well.     Lures with a light have been working well in the stained water.  Please remember, in MN, lures with a light or water activated light can be used as long as the battery is mercury free and the hook is attached directly to the lure and not as a dropper line.     On the deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off of the bottom.    Some days, mornings are better, other days, it's the afternoons.  There is no distinct pattern, they could come through at any time. On the Rainy River...  The start of the day and end of the day have been best for those targeting walleyes on the river. A jig and minnow or a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head is also producing some fish. Some big sturgeon being iced by ice anglers targeting them.  It is a catch-and-release sturgeon season currently.   Although ice conditions on the river are good, they can vary significantly due to the current, so anglers should always consult local resorts or outfitters for the most up-to-date safety information and fishing advice. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing has been strong in the islands area of Lake of the Woods. Resorts continue to move their fish houses around, staying on the best schools of walleyes.     Anglers are catching a nice mix of walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch with an occasional pike or tullibee as well.     Big crappies are still being caught just over the border.  Fish houses are available, check with a NW Angle resort for info on crappie fishing.   Lake of the Woods enjoys an extended ice fishing season with fish houses on the ice through March 31st and walleye and sauger seasons open through April 14th. Perch, crappie, and pike seasons remain open year-round.

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.

      Great looking food. So far not much of a game and I thought the halftime show was worse I've seen.
