Hello Wiskers,
What body of water are you on?, when's the best bit?, Acomadations?, Maybe? There is a big Tourney in Belle Plaine MN Aug 8-9, 4:00 pm - 4:00 pm, No the the smoothest run but they do pay $1000.00 to win and prizes after that.

Ozzy.

I fish the Red River, Red Lake River, and Minnesota River. I go out of Grand Forks ND, Lock port MB, and the Twin Cities.

Bite it going to be pretty good early July being they are spawning now. We have many places to stay around here. Camping or lodging. Check out my web site at www.wiskersguidingservice.com

Our league is out of East Grand Forks MN and fellas from all over the area meet every wednesday evening and fish for the jack pot. Average prize is $100 for 1st. and pay down to 3rd. Every August we have the CATS INCREADIBLE Tournament in East Grand Forks. Now that one pays $4000. for first and pays down to 35th. with biggest fish each day pay out also.

It is first-come first-served. And it's become a very popular tourney.

But there may still be openings, and there's a stand-by list you can get on, hoping for cancellations.

You'll need to contact the East Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce for more info. One of the organizers there runs the registration.

Good luck, and it's a really fun tourney. Fished it a couple times, finishing in the money once and just out once.

Ya it's a real fun tourney but it is getting to be kind of a real pain in the back side. First off it is very popular and fills up with in the first day of registration. There is a waiting list but very few ever cancle. Plus that tournament was created and built by local fishermen. Now it seems that the city is more interested in out of towners and says the heck with locals. Now when you enter you are put into a lottery and then they draw for the first 150 teams. So it does not matter who is first come or not. So the problem is if you get on the waiting list, they keep your $200. until and if some one cancles and they get to your number. Now if some one from out of the area gets on the list and they get lucky enough to get an opening at the last minuet, how is some one from a ways away going to make last minute plans and travel in a days notice?

Just my opinion, I just feel that they should have left it the way it was, first come first serve. It only seems fair, the locals got them where they are today. However it is still a good time. I hope you can make it, good luck.

Yes, We were talking about a month ago, how the Chamber is doing that to the locals, NOT FAIR!!, treat your bread and butter good theory. The local Scott Co. Sherrifs Dept was going to put a tourny on this year on the Minnesota River that was the caliber as the Cats Incredible, I do believe they had a copy of the rules for the tourney up there. That is a bummer about the short notice and keeping the deposit. Maybe when I'm rich and famous I'll be able to get in.
