Central MN Retriever Club Informal Trials


Todd Caswell

Recommended Posts

Cmrc is holding a informal trial at our grounds in St Cloud Minnesota off of Hwy 10 and Golden Spike Road. Same place as our Field Trials and Hunt Test.

Sign up begins at 8:00 am and the trial begins at 9:00 am.

Come and have fun with the dog this weekend!

Open (with multiple marks and blinds)

Qualifying (which involves up to a triple with blinds)

Derby (which is for dogs under the age of 2)

Hunters (which has singles or double marks and maybe a blind)

Puppy (which is for dogs under the age of 1).

Lunch is served in the club house. We ask handlers to step forward and help throw birds. The success of the Informals comes from everyone pitching in and helping out.

Entry fees are $15 for the Open and Qualifying, $12 for the Derby and Hunter, and $10 for the Puppy stake. Trophies and Rosettes will be awarded

Thanks Todd. This is an informal event if I understand correctly? I have never run my dog in any trials but would like to give it a try just don't want to upset the apple cart. She is a well trained and obedient hunting dog and I would like to give it a go if it is an appropriate venue. Your input is appreciated.

Certainly, I would guess that you could either run in the "Hunter" and maybe the "Qual.". We try to provide a stake for just about any dog. If you decide to come , and i hope you do, please find me, I'm not judging just running dogs this month, I'll give you a tour of the grounds and give you a run down on the rules, and help you out the best I can. Driving a F150 pewter color with topper and 3 hole dog box in back, if you can't find me give me a call 218-821-0402.

Look forward to meeting you..

Todd

    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
    • I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
