B.P. Cat League

[Guest]

First meeting for this year's league action is Sunday , April 18th at 5:00 at the Borough Bowl in Belle Plaine. Looks like the rules will stay the same, which has to be voted on yet, but it appears that a couple of folks won't be with us this year. I will post some more info on this later next week after Ozzy comes back from vacation and we hash out a few more details. Anybody is welcome to attend this meeting.

Don't know if I can fish this year but will be at the meeting.

[Flashman]

I definitely will be fishing the league again this year but I’ll be sturgeon fishing on the Rainy the 17th and 18th, I don’t know if I’ll be home in time to make it to the meeting though. I liked the way we had it setup for rules last year, so if there isn’t any kind of major change count me as a yes to keep them the same. I’ll be a no boat entry, if you need any other info let me know and I’ll give it to you. I’ll be sure to make the next meeting; I’m looking forward to seeing all you guys again.

I have a schedule problem,thats why I might not be able to fish this year.If the schedule for the league is the same weekends as lasy year I will miss 4 of the six events.
For you guys who are not going to make the meeting,would you be opposed to changing the dates?
Yes... just for me!Every thing revolves around me.

[Flashman]

I would not be opposed to changing the dates.

[Guest]

July 9th and 23rd and August 13th and 20th.
These are Fridays with starting time at 6:30 fish till 1:00.
Entry fee with 100% payback:
Riders-$125

Prizes will pay out to 2 longest Flats and towards the longest Channel. Prizes to be determined by how many league members we end up with. We will also pay out for the end of the year standings, TBD.
5 of the 6 nights you fish are used in the standings, Lord knows we need Mulligans in this league after the Flattys kicked our arse on the last night of league last year.
This is strickly a Catch, Photo, release league.
Fish are measured, photo taken, then immeadiatly released . Photo and results are to be taken to 169Sports no later than Sunday following league night.
In case of severe weather threat, we will fish either the following night or the next available Friday. That will be decided by the league members.
Bait, beer and food to be decided between you and whomever you are fishing with. It's OK to down a couple of brews but lets be safe and within the law.
As of now, Ozzy will be the secretary, with any disputes to be decided by yours truly.

This has been a blast the last couple of years, so come to the meeting this coming Sunday, April 18th if you can. We will have a couple more meetings before the action starts so any questions call Ozzy at 169 Sports 952-873-4868 or e-mail me at [email protected] I also work every Tuesday and thursday evening at 169 Sports

Far as I know, Hooper and Farmer D are in along with PaperBoy. Unless he decides to move to Ireland or some crazy thing like that. Of course we will vote on a Prez and such.

The dates mentioned above are set ,as are the rules and we have 7 guys committed so far. Really looking for some more captains but will take all. Next meeting will be May 23rd at the Borough Bowl in Belle Plaine at 5:00. Lots of stories told and things got interesting when the power went out. Luckily I had two headlamps and a spotlight in the truck till Tom got a lantern in the bar. Pretty much decided then that a 20x 20 icehouse needs to be built with a L shaped bar in at at that point.

[Flashman]

Just wondering what we have for numbers so far? I'll see you guys next weekend.

[Guest]

So far 7 committed for now with 3 more still thinking about it. Please note that the meeting is moved to 169 Sports ( same building) since the bowling alley is shut down on Sunday's till the end of August.

[Guest]

Meeting this Sunday at 5:00 at 169Sports. Anybody interested feel free to attend.

****, forgot all about the meeting this weekend. I think I was napping, catching up on sleep lost while on the river Friday and Saturday evenings. So any news/changes?

[Guest]

really nothing has changed with the limited amount of people showing up, must of been the rain. Anyway we are planning on one more meeting on June 1st at 7:00 at the Borough Bowl. I hope that everybody interested shows up for this one, we have some decisions to make for sure. Entry fee, subs, and such. Have to make sure that our secretary starts jamming the phones. Special thanks to Bill from Midwest Rod& Reel for his presentation. Most impressed with the equipment!

[Guest]

You still in Flashman? Justin was cool with taking the two dates you will be missing out of.
Ozzy will be calling everyone and will have the schedule done by tuesday night.

[MNRiverRat]

I'll stop in tuesday night and drop off my entry fee... What landings are open?? I know for sure that henderson and jordan are flooded, saw henderson sunday and heard about jordan from a friend. Well, talk to you guys later

[Ozzy169]

Belle Plaine access is perfect- nice and high - only have to back in a few feet. Don't know of how the other accesses look
