[Ray Esboldt]

Still room if you decide you want to go. Just show up with a fishing partner at the north access by roughly 5:45 AM.

[Daze Off]

I'm jealous - wish I could be fishing it. Hope everyone has a great time and the bags are huge!

Daze Off

I just got word that my partner for tomorrow can't make the tournament. If the non-boaters that posted earlier want to fish the tournament give me a call.

[note from deitz... Mike found a partner!]

[Slyster]

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I would be there but I have my own tourney going on with my league from church! Can't wait to read some stories.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Fun day boys... congrats to that jerk Esboldt yet again!.. LOL

[ocf1]

Again!?!?!?!? Deitz lost on his home turf!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[bassNspear]

Congrats to Ray on winning the event. Dietz, you had a good day as well. I was happy the way we fished, not ever seeing the lake before.

[Deitz Dittrich]

ocf- Yes Ray won again.. I am not sure I would call Big Marine my home turf... I fished well, was happy the way I fished, just liek B-N-S said... I finished 2nd to ray, a hair over a lb back. The fun thing was, I think every boat had a 6 fish limit, and was pretty close all the way through. ray got his fish deep.. I normally fish deep, did catch fish deep, but ended up culling all the fish I caught deep in the shallow slop.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Thanks to everyone who participated this year. It was a very good time.

[Central Bassman]

Good Job Ray and Steve!!! It was nice meeting some new FM member and getting to fish a different lake for ones.

[Dan Brelje]

I think the deep bite would have been better if the wind blew just a hair more, a little to calm for me

Nice job to all, It was a lot of fun.

[Bullwinkle]

Thank you for putting the tournament together Ray. I had a great time. Next time we have a get together would you please order us up a little less wind though. We all know that the weather is Ray's fault. I would also like to thank Hammer for stepping up to the plate and being my partner on such short notice.

[Slyster]

Was the fishing noticeably slower due to the 4am storm? I was wondering what the lightning would do for fishing. Seemed slow for me. 8 bass in 7 hours for my tournament on White Bear Lake.
