8th Annual City Auto Glass Walleye Classic

[Walleye Magnet]

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!

I just visited with Fortune Bay, and they do have rooms available in our block of rooms. If you are interested in staying here I would make your reservation soon. They are filling up fast, and the last two years were completely booked for our event.

Our field is over 1/2 full already. The entries continue to come in at a record pace. If you haven't sent your entry in yet I would try to get it in the mail soon to guarantee a spot.

How many boats are allowed in this year?

[Walleye Magnet]

100 boats, and we are still at record pace for entries.

If there is still ice would the tourney be cancelled or would the date just change?

[Walleye Magnet]

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.
