Fiskyknut: Is this the one that Kevin runs out of Wigwom????...Kaz

[fiskyknut]

Kaz, That be the one I put dates up for thinking that's the one bojangles was refering to. Kevin O. moved it back this year to the second weekend vs. the first weekend which it had been years prior. The MTT championship is up here again this year also and I believe that one is September 18 and 19.<P>You gonna give it a whirl this year Kaz?<P>Fisky

What's the entry fee this year?

[fiskyknut]

Ripper, It went up a mere 5 beans this year and is now 330.00 per team. Way fun and well run tourney, Kevin and crew do a great job. Fishing is usually great at that timeframe and I'm glad it got moved back a weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice to us too!<P>You gonna do it this year Ripper?<P>Fisky

[Lip RIPPER!]

I am undecided at this point. Is it a six fish limit and are the boundaries limited to 4 mile bay and the river? How many over 19.5 can you keep?

[Kaz]

Fisky: No, I just go for the socializing.. I enjoy fishing, but not in competition. If your there, drive by, I'm across the street from the Taxidermy....Kaz

Guys,<BR>Isn't culling illegal in MN? The last I heard in MN stringer sorting was unlawful. Correct me if I'm wrong, does the MNDNR make exceptions for well run tourneys? Don't mean to sound like a wisea$$, just want some clarification.<P>thanks,<BR>toddb<P>

[bojangles]

fisky thanks for the info. im calling the<BR>wigwam friday to get entered.always wanted to fish it but never had the time.

[fiskyknut]

Boundaries are US waters from Birchdale rapids, downstream onto the lake over to the Morris gap, and 3 miles out onto lake from the green cans, {I think 3 miles, this gets decided at rules meeting}. 6 fish per team per day, 15 inch minimum, with 2 over 19.5 allowed per team each day. Last year culling was allowed.<P>Fisky

Todd<P>Culling is legal in Minnesota. <BR>They dont bend the rules for tournament <BR>fishing(And they shouldnt).<P>I am gonna try the Wigwam Tourney this fall.<BR>I wasnt aware of the date change.<P>I am fishing right there anyway watching <BR>the competition might as well shake the money<BR>tree and enter.<P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio

Curt,<P>I was looking at the WI/MN border regs. where I got my info on the culling. After further review I see that you are correct. I am working in Red Wing and was fishing Pepin last week, where no culling was necessary as fishing is nowhere near as hot as the big pond. Thanks for setting me straight.<P>later,<BR>toddb

LipRipper-You need to fish the Northstar this year. I'm fishing it with Sgt. T-Gaard from G.F. We could go and break down water together possibly. Give me a call or E-mail me. Coming home this weekend for a wedding. Got 11 smallies (2 were my biggest ever) 3 snakes and 1 24"walleye last time I was home. Gonna hit it Sat. before the wedding and Sun morning. Should be in town by 11am.on Sat. Let me know if you wanna go try it. Later KJK

Tips, give me a buzz when you get to town. I have a wedding on Sat. too but I am bowhunting in the morning and pm and hitting the wedding in between. Can't believe he is getting married on the "OTHER OPENER" What an [PoorWordUsage].
