I don't agree with the fall. Most people aren't thinking buying fishing gear let alone 90% trolling gear then. That's a bad move for the vendors.. I know if I was a vendor planning to attend a show with a table of gear and a fall date I'd request a refund on my table fee instead. Not to stir the pot but just being honest

Park was a zoo sunday. They really need to put signs up to keep people from parking their cars in the boat trailer parking that aren't using the launch. When I was there if another boat launched they couldn't have parked their rig however there were tons of empty single parking spots... It's ridiculous

Sure looks like some dancing room back there Joe!

Go ahead then don't go. No one will miss you not attending. Go ahead buy the gear you'd normally buy online and pay tax and full retail costs. Pretty sure that $3 is cheap compared to that.

Correction for you. Southern zone ends Jan 13th

New mallard limit sucks. Killed 2 first thing then had to watch greenheads decoy the rest of the morning

This 2 bird mallard limit sucks. Spent yesterday on Seneca and my buddy and I were done by 720 with our mallards. Could've killed 4 bird limits for 4 or 5 guys easy. Spent a little while killing mergs after our mallards were done so we didn't have to leave early

Pretty good weekend this weekend. Killed a 10 man southern zone limit of 50 geese Friday. Alot slower Saturday but still scratched out 10 between 9 guys. Went and hunted a loafing area this afternoon and killed 5 Canadas a wood duck and a mallard between 2 of us and a buddy showed up later just before the mallard was shot. 67 bird weekend isn't bad in my opinion!!

Club foot on the banded leg?!?! That's awesome

Well said!! Always curve balls in waterfowl hunting. I hunt spots for deer that my uncle and dad hunted the same trees 30 years ago. Doesn't work that way for ducks and geese. My best duck swamp is 3ft low this year and the blind I normally hunt is 60 yards from even the edge of the water. Time to put in the leg work and find something new for next weekends western zone opener

I'll take the comfort of the A-frame for as long as possible until then!

A-frames are pretty awesome! Let's see how many years we get outta them before the birds key in on them like they have layouts!

Nice fish but that's no bow. That's a landlock salmon!

71 total entrants this year again! Exact same amount as last year however alot of new faces! See you guys tomorrow afternoon! Tight lines!

You're the man Mike!

We're around 30 boats now if I had to guess and still getting entries until noon tomorrow. I'll post a final count tomorrow afternoon! Looks like a great turn out. Had over 23 people register today alone

Weigh in starts at 3 after everyone checks in. We do this because it allows everyone to see each box of fish

At this time we aren't looking at other weigh in locations. This has a bit to do with the later weigh time to potentially make it convenient for people coming from farther launches. However the sportsman's club is a great location for the west side because it's close to deans and not too far from all west side launches. I understand the concern though and I am sorry it couldn't be easier for everyone but it's tough on a 40mile long lake

tick tock! We have received donations from Brian Gambell of gambler rigs who has donated now for all 3 years of the tourney. These are beautiful sets of micro gambler rigs! Harvey O'Hara donated some awesome downrigger weights for the second year in a row! Scott Baldwin of Reelrage trolling spoons has donated a bunch of awesome spoons in various colors aswell! Don't miss your chance at these great prize packs! These packs will be split up and drawn for door prize raffles! This gives everyone a fair chance at going home with a smile on their face and some new gear for the boat! I urge everyone to take a look at these local businesses from these great guys that all push amazing product!

The silvers are harder than normal to come by this year. The south end is FULL of short landlocks as well which makes targeting decent silvers a bit harder. Just when everything is running right almost every rod will fire with landlocks 17" and under. Had to grind from 545 til 1030 sunday to catch a brown and a landlock that were legal. Caught lakers in the mix but definitely a challenge. Can't help but think it could have something to do with the "off" color of the water aswell. Had a decent spring with some quality silvers buy it's been tricky since the lake colored up after the heavy rains in June. Hopefully it gets better from here on out!

Yes you can!
