1st Annual Panfish Poppers Contest Saturday March 4th


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I know its short notice but they just got this thing all ok with DNR etc. I hope we can help get a good turnout for this.

1st Annual Panfish Poppers Contest

Sat. March 4th Fish Lake Highbanks Resort

$25 per person entry fee

100% Payback

Registration is at Highbanks Resort 6:30am- 8:00am

Contest Hours are 8am to 4pm

15 total combined panfish will be weighed -- (Bluegill, Crappie, Sunfish)

* No more than 10 may be Crappies *

All Minnesota Fishing Laws apply

We have Marine General donating some prizes to go along with the Cash payouts. We will vote on Sat morning and decide as a group how we want the payout to be.

Example: Pay out threw 3rd place or pay out threw 5th place. It seems to work better with the whole group getting a say in this.

Like I said above I know its a short notice but I hope we have enough "Panfish Geaks" wink.gif out there to make this fly.

We would like to make this a yearly event. If you have questions please E-mail me. I hope to see you all there. Thanks a lot. DONT FORGET YOUR NEW SHELTER LICENSES!

I hear you on the weekend gig... I never seem to get them off, unless I take vacation... If you do have some free time during the week, come on down, and we can sneak out for some trout/salmon.....

Steve,

Good luck on the contest!!! I hope it turns out well for you...

Just wondering,

Sorry guys, I have to work all weekend so I can't won't be able to make it. However, if there are any side bets involved, I'm putting my money on the wall-i-king, from what he's been saying, the big bull gill bite is going quite well.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
