There is a metro cat contest this weekend being hosted out of Moores Bait & Tackle. This is a catch and release contest, winning fish will be determined by length + girth and a photo must be provided of the fishermen holding the fish by 3 pm sudnday august 6th.

The boundaries are Mississippi river pools 1 & 2 from Coon rapids dam to above the Hastings dam, and the Minnesota river from 35W downstream to the confluence.

The contest is open to everyone.. boat and shore fishermen as long as they are fishing within the posted boundaries.

Its a $10 entry fee with 100% payout, partcipants must register at Moores bait before 5 pm Saturday August 5th(Closing time).

The contest starts at 7pm Saturday August 5th, and goes until 6 am(sunrise) Sunday morning August 6th.

Participants will be allowed to enter one fish of each species. Length + girth and a photo of the angler holding the fish will have to be turned into Moores bait on Sunday August 6th by 3 pm.

Payout: 100% payout will be split between Flathead and Channel Catfish. Payout amount will be determined by the number of participants and can be collected at Moores bait any time after 3 pm on sunday for winning fish.

All laws of the waters the anglers will be fishing apply(inland regulations). Moores bait has the final decision on winning fish.

This is a contest for fun. This contest in no way benefits Moores Bait and tackle. Its a good reason to get out of the house and go fishing Saturday night!

I appologize if I broke any rules of the forum policy. Please remove it if I did.

I decided to sign up for this and try a new stretch of river. I went out with LFC and had an absolute blast. The bite was non-stop. We caught five flats (biggest just under 24lbs) and over ten channels (biggest just under 14lbs).

It was very strange to see this part of the river. Very straight and wide with little too no stucture, yet the fish were still there. Nothing huge, but a lot of fun, and my PB channel! Thanks again LFC!

I wish I would have known about this contest earlier. I haven't fished since Thursday evening and I have even had Bullies on hand. That contest would have been a little closer to home and sounds good with that C&R.

There is going to be another contest somewhere around the end of this month. I am waiting for some info to be sure we wont be having it on the same night of another contest happening on pool 4(different area, but some of the same participants).

There will be a couple sturgeon contest this year also on the st croix river.
