Mankato area bass tournaments?


Recommended Posts

why is there no "mankato" area tournaments ? I got a boat with a live well finally and the year i get it there is only a few tourneys that are less than a hour drive away. I believe the dnr or some regulations have tampered with the number of boats in a tourney . having to do with permits? we or comeone should set up bass tournaments around the mankato ares ( madison,washington,lura,francis,ect.) what happened to the thursday nighters?

The tournement that was scheduled for Sunday on Jefferson has been cancelled along with the rest of the circuit according to the disturbing phone call I received tonight. Anyone know what is going on????

My partner and I were in 1st place and really looking forward to the next 2 lakes, now I just want my money back!!! I have never heard of anything like this happening in all the 20+ years I have been fishing in tournements???

I have been tossing around the idea of setting up a local circuit like this one for a few years. Gabby did a great job and that ended, this seemed like a really good circuit as well and now this is done or maybe done.....I would like to get one going. 30-40 boats on 4 or 5 local lakes with a TOC at the end of the year for the top teams.

If anyone has any input or would like to get on my soon to be formed mailing list for a great FULL season of fishing next year, contact me via e-mail at [email protected]

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • 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?
