Slowhand Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would like to but calander says otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am in! We will make it doable If not it is just $10 to the cause! Well worth it (IMO) to keep these going. If I can not make any of the dates I want to have a chance down the road to do so It is just $10. I spent almost $70 in boat fuel last weekend and this is nothing If I have a chance of getting any of that back all the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanderud Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Shack, how many miles did you put on last weekend? I would guess that you get at least 2+ miles to the gallon, and if you paid even 3 bucks a gallon in gas, that 70 bucks gets you 23 gallons, roughly 50+ river miles! Holy smokes!

Shack Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 You add correct Daniel Son. Add in the 3 gal kicker and we make it back to the launch in the runs of all runs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanderud Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Wow that's a long run shack. Sometime we'll fish again and you can tell me the details. My guess is that a guy doesn't go up and back down that far, with a 50 pounder in the middle somewhere, without a couple other good stories along the way...especially with the low water we're seeing. I think one thing I can say with certainty is that you did not get upstream further than the carver trestle bridge...that thing is going to be a thorn in my side all year, considering that ramp is only a mile from my house! Lucky you had the 3 gallon kicker tank with, otherwise you might have had to call for backup from someone like Dtro, and who knows -- they might have made you give up your blurry-shore spot in exchange for some gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTro Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Last call for participants, noon today will be the cutoff. Looks like a nice turnaround in the weather is forecasted for the next several days. Should be a lot of nice fish caught!Doesn’t appear that we will max out the registration at 30 people (unless there is a flurry of entries today) so I will need to adjust the payouts as necessary. I will update that later today.Good Luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTro Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I need dates from the following:UppdacreekHotPocket ShackbashI apologize if you’ve already submitted that to me and I missed it.If it turns out that nobody is fishing tomorrow 6/10 (nobody yet) I will then extend the deadline until tomorrow and run the contest from Thursday-Wednesday. That might pick up a few more stragglers that are on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have not sent in my dates yet Sorry my bad. I was waiting till about 11:45am today. I am fishing more than two days during the shoot out time frame and I am torn on which one I should pick to be my day number 2. I think I am going to do the the 48 hour long haul again this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ok since nobody has signed up for tomorrow. I have officially changed the dates to Thurday 6/11-Wed 6/17. That will extend an entry deadline to tomorrow at noon.

MinnesnowtaWild Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would probably do this but PayPal does not work for me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alagnak Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm looking forward to it. It's just the motivation I need to pull me away from spending too much time on night classes and a new deck build. Life is too short, burn the midnight oil...................fishing.I've met some good guys on the rivers. And plan on doing more of the same.

Shack Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I just sent my dates in with no subject on the e-mail Dtro. Sorry but they are waiting at the G-mail account.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Got it thanks Just a reminder of the format. You can enter as many fish as you like (upgrades allowed) but only your 3 biggest will count....no matter if it's channel or flathead. Either species should make for some good strategery It will be interesting to see if a "bag" that includes a channel can win. Or perhaps 3 big channels will be enough. Should be fun. I would encourage everyone to keep a lid on their own score as it makes for good fodder during the week. Also remember that any entries must be submitted by 4pm the following day that you are scheduled to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanderud Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would bet that the winner will have at least 1 channel cat in his top 3 fish. Good luck everyone. Wish I had some time to fish this, but unfortunately I was shot down when I asked about bringing the boat to Omaha and Cedar Rapids, where I'll be for the next week.

Lowblazah Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've spent $10 on worse things...I'm in as well. Payment sent Dtro! My dates are in your email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ec30_06 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I should have read the rules better. I thought there was going to be separate divisions for flats and channels. I better rethink my strategy a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
