i want to know more about it too. Is it going to be big? a lot of people? can you use a flasher at contests? and it starts at 2 for sure? also can you fish in a small portable or do i have to sit out of the van?

[DonBo]

Sorry, kinda late. Contest starts at 2:00, yes, you can use a flasher in your shack.

See ya there.

i just got back from the contest. me and my nephew went. I would have been the first to catch a fish but i released the dang thing. it was a small 4 inch sunny. I thought it was to small but i was asking around after i realsed it and i heard around that no one was even catching them. but towards the end i wwas right next to that emily girl that caught that northern on the rattle wheel with a shiner, i wonder where she got them shinners. but what happened to them having the contest out in the hole on the lake in the big bay. that was such a dumb spot it was at, only 6 ft max.

Years ago this contest was on the north end of the lake. For several years running a 3 or 4 oz. perch was the winner. Never anything bigger. One year there was bad ice conditions on that end so they moved it to the present location. Now, it takes about a 4 lb northern to win it, as it did today.

There are only the two spots to access the lake with those big trailers. I think they made a good call. Anyway, that's why they hold it in the bay.

BTW, I also caught a small sunny and had a flag on my tip-up, but no fish.

Hi, new here, just trying to get some info on fishing contests. And, to add what I can. I was at the Chaska contest on Saturday. I ended up winning the portable DVD players from the raffle that was in the tent. It was cold.

We went to Lexington's contest on Sunday, and they said it was to cold and they just held it in the bar. That was kinda neat, but I wanted to fish.

As plans go, I am heading up to Devil's Lake North Dakota this weekend for their big contest. If that falls through, we will end up at Fish lakes contest. The New Market Sportsmans contest is Febuary 8th if anyone is interested. I will be on the landing selling tickets.

Good luck fishing. Don't forget, Eelpout festival is right around the corner.
