Anyone going to be taking this in??? Our group of guys will be there in full force!! I don't know if we will catch anything, but the chances of the beer biting is great!!!

If it's warm out maybe, if cold and blowing no way. If I do fish I fully expect to get skunked!

What are the details.. Time, Date? Thanks

[Wiskers]

It sounds like a large group from Crookston are heading up there.. Rumor has it that one of the rules have changed this year due to ice conditions.... You can fish any where on the lake this year? Any info on that?

I have confirmed that the springsteel derby rules have changed this year due to ice conditions. You must fish out of Springsteel but will not be confined to a fenced in area. Call Philo if you need further details 386-1000

interesting, wonder how they'll keep folks from cheating?

Well, I guess if I were heading up there this weekend with sleds I would probably go out of springsteel..

hum.............this changes the whole game plan, now instead of just going up there to party, I might have to actually try to catch that $1000 walleye that is swimming around somewhere in LOW. I know where I'm going head, noon to 4 makes kinda short fishing time.

Just called the resort and got more info. Contest is still on, just not in the "big circle" they usually have. Fishing is limited to muskeg bay only, the guy I talked to said they don't want people running to 12 mile or 5 mile. Oh yea and he said you could use a house.

So it looks like I will have to take a serious approach to fishing saturday. Good luck to all

I heard that they are going to draw for the majority of the prizes and put up like a $1000 for the people that want to fish..... Still pretty hard to pass up!

[bucks-n-ducks]

The guy I talked to at Springsteel said that you could fish anywhere in Muskeg Bay....Well I looked at a map and to me that opens up everything north of the resort all the way to south tip.....When I talked to him, he seemed kinda tigth lipped about give me any details..........Well if I'm going to come up there and fish for $1000 bucks, I wanna know what I can and cannot do now, not when I bring a fish to the scales!!! I wonder if they are still going to give a grand to the biggest walleye and 500 to the biggest perch and northern and the 250 to the biggest 'pout. If anyone can answer any of these questions for me great.......And if anyone wants to know more info call the resort, they number is listed in a earlier post.

I left the fax at work but I think it said Walleye

500-250-100 1st 2nd 3rd.

for Pike and Perch and 250-150-100 1st 2nd 3rd

There was also a disclaimer/entry form attached

to enter this new "side" contest.

Can anyone tell me what ice conditons could they have

that would make this kind of a change necessary?

I looked at my map and Muskeg Bay looks like Arnesons

to South Point.

Good Luck everybody

I'm not positive, but I think the problem is flooding if all the holes were drilled in one area.

With the great fishing everyones been having on LOW they were scared that if too many fish were caught too fast over a 4 hour period in one little area, water levels would decrease and that portion of the lake would begin to bow and eventually collapse, which would spell disaster.

I have no clue what I'm talking about. See everyone at noon. Good luck
