Hey NINETOES what kind of bait you gonna use for these toothy critters?? I've got some great sticky granola mix you can hide in the shadows with!! Good luck gang--Have Fun!!

[swamptiger]

Count me in!

How about marshmallows, Satchmo?

[Fish-on]

What if you run out of film? In two days if the weather is good, I could realistically expect to catch 30-40 pike. Maybe more. We had a 25-fish day on September 15 last year, all but two of which were between 33 and 41 inches. You have to take a pic of the first one, then keep taking a pic of every fish that's bigger than the one before.

Sounds like a blast, but with 400 boats, it would really be a nightmare out there. Where are you going to park 400 boat trailers? How many do you think you will get?

[jigglestick]

i think that would be a maximum of 200 boats. probably less if there are more than two in any one team. a walk in the park for waskish-------jigglestick--------

yep, even learned my cba's
how ya been budy? get that krinkle truck running yet. it'll be ice before you know it!

[kelly-p]

That truck's still bent. The Mazda's pulling the load now with all the bear baits out. Wanna see white knuckles? SATCHMO rode with me for 1/2 a day. I think he would have walked home if he just knew what direction home was. Next we'll have to get him to ride with you on the lake,,, or maybe with halads dog.

The flyer I was sent is not clear on a couple things, first of all, when do you have to check in at West Wind and get the camera? Is it prior to 7 a.m. on Saturday? Also, do you have to be preregistered by the 7th? I won't know if I can fish it until a day or two before the event, can I still get in? How many people are registered so far?

[W.W.BarTender]

You do not need to pre-register before the seventh, we expct a lot of people to register a couple days before the tournament. Everyone will meet at 7 to get the camera. There are a few teams registered so far, but the more teams there are the more the prizes will be. It should be a fun time for everyone.

hey w.w.! i think i have a couple more teams talked into it from down in the concrete jungle. one fellow was wondering about accomidations. was wondering about setting up a tent for the weekend? i told him it should be no problem with the campground right down the road. maybe some other people are wondering the same thing. the question was brought up about when do you have to be registered by. can you register after 7 a.m. on saturday? i plan on being up there fri night myself. (think i might have an old bar tab to square up ). getting excited!!!!!!

DOOH DOOH DONUTS.... My watch must be fast. And I missed my wifes birthday too. Somebody slap me.

[Fish-on]

Just wondering if anyone knows how many people are in the pike contest. I can't make it and it sounds like the weather is going to be real crummy. I'm just curious how many people signed up and if it is enough of a success that we could try again next year.

[jigglestick]

i will be up there around 6 or 7 tonight! just fair warning see ya'll then!
