8th Annual City Auto Glass Walleye Classic


Recommended Posts

Please join us for the 8th Annual City Auto Glass Walleye Classic on beautiful Lake Vermilion. The event will take place May 18, 2013. This event has grown each year of existence, and we are seeing the same trend for 2013. We are again guaranteeing the $10,000 first place prize. The entries are coming in at record pace, and we are anticipating another exciting event!

We haven't made a decision on this yet, and hopefully won't have to. There has only been one ice-out date for Lake Vermilion later than our event. I would be surprised if there were still ice on the Lake for Opener. We will keep monitoring this as we get closer.

The warm weather is a welcome site here in the Northwoods. We are still monitoring the ice-out on Lake Vermilion as many of you are. We are still full steam ahead, and still planning for a full field. There are a few openings available if you haven't sent your entry in. Fortune Bay is filling up fast as well. I would get those rooms reserved if you haven't yet.

Man after looking out at the lake from the casino yesterday I dont see how that ice will be off the lake. Maybe have some big pockets of shallow bays open. I sure hope you guys do get some HOT weather and rain to get that ice out with out any flooding.

One year me and Cliff will have to give you guys a run for your money up there.

Too bad its the smae weekend as my Twin Ports Walleye Association tourney on the St. Louis River. That will be open but some lakes around here still have 34 or more inches.

If it works out we would enjoy having you guys in our event. I understand it is tough with your event the same weekend....... This past weekend helped the melting process to get going. The lake looks much different than it did Friday. Still a ways to go, but the melt is on. The Opener is going to be questionable, but I think we will be fine for our event. A little rain would be a welcome site for sure. I want to wish you the best for your event.

It appears this late Spring is finally giving way. We are on schedule for the event this weekend, and it looks like the remaining ice took a big hit yesterday. The forecast is favorable, and we are kicking it into high gear:) I am receiving calls to see if we still have availability, and currently we do. As of this morning we are at 83 boats. If you are still looking to enter I ask that you bring your completed entry to the rules meeting/dinner Friday evening. We will start checking folks in at 4:30, and dinner/rules meeting will follow at 6pm.

I am pleased to report 2013 was another successful year for the City Auto Glass Walleye Classic. We had 83 boats fish with us. The team of Ribich and Lubovich took home the $10,000 1st place prize. Thanks to all who fished, our sponsors, and volunteers. We couldn't have pulled this off without you!

I look forward to seeing you all in 2014 for the 9th annual City Auto Glass Walleye Classic!

Our Twin Ports Walleye Tourney went well too even though the weather was brutal. Chris Edquist and Chad Clough won with 8 fish measuring a total of 182.50". A 22.8" average is respectable. We finished 5th with 168.25".

I sure wish I could make it to the City Auto Glass Tourney. Maybe you guys could set yours back a week? LOL. I wouldnt want you guys to get iced out ever. wink

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
