bobo98bobo Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just to let everyone know the second annual border walleye challenge is april 26 2008 on big stone lake. This is a fun tournament with registration only $100.00 per boat, and over $14000.00 in cash payouts it is a good time to get out before the inland water opener.

bobo98bobo Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 MN or SD The opener for bigstone is the april 19 so everyone would have a week to prefish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooks Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Depends on your state of residence. If you're a MN resident, a MN license will do but you cannot buy an SD non-resident license only - you must buy the license of your resident state if you live in either MN or SD. If you're visiting from a state other than MN or SD, it doesn't matter, but the only bait shop around is in Ortonville. Hope this helps. Good luck!

youngie22 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 or buds in brownsvalley?? this sounds like a fun deal. Looks like a big field this year; how many participated last year? I think I may need to find a partner. Family cabin is near linden beach, should work great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnksully Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It was a full field of 100 boats last year. They decided to raise it to 150 boats this year. That's a lot of boats! It's a great tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnetonkaMan Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Does anyone know if their is any spots left in the tourney. We were going to be in a Green lake tourney later in the year but it was cancelled because of health problems that the director was having and we want to get in at least one this year. Thanks for your replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo98bobo Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 AS of 3/19/08 there are 114 teams signed up, out of 150. So there is still some room to get in. It is a very fun tourney, for only $100 a boat very cheap tourney just to have some fun and get a shot at some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Wettschreck Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I fished this tournament last year. It was VERY well run and a ton of fun. I was truely surprised at how quickly they got 100 boats inspected and in the water. The tournament staff did a wonderful job at staging, getting boats in the water quickly, and getting boats out of the water. If it wern't for other committments my family has I wouldn't think twice about entering this tournament. I had a blast last year.The MN vs SD ribbing was good times, also.
