2005 Rock Creek JDRF Tourney Results


Recommended Posts

Welp, what a day. Fished the JDRF tourney out at Rock Creek today with my partner for this tourney last year from another site, Griff (actually he was kind enough to let me be his partner). After figuring some things out prefishing yesterday, we thought we had a good chance.

Got on fish right away after the 8am kickoff. We were limited withing the first 45min and began the sorting game. Eventually upgraded our white crappies to all blacks with a couple of decent ones mixed in. Nailed the gills with some good 9" fish there as well. Griff managed his first cat through the ice....a long 8 1/2lb fish!! I also had a first...a shad through the ice (Griff got one as well). The fish just hammered us most of the day and we caught over 100 easily between the two of us.

Went to weigh in at 11:30 (noon weigh time) and sorted out what we felt to be our best 15fish to weigh. At weigh, we were earlier than most and took an early lead with a bucket of over 6lbs of fish.

Took a while to get standings up, but they finally did it and saw we took second with 6.60lb of fish....the winning team had 6.68lb...a mere .08 of a pound more than us (I knew we should have fed those things a few more waxies Griff!).

All in all it was a great time....got to talk to some guys from the site (I will let them post on how they did) and it was a beautiful day.

Just thought I would share.

    • 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.
