Pro fisherman-Stud Muffin 420 Report post Posted April 24, 2014 last year was good . take off and weigh in went quick, launch was quick since people were launching both sides of ramp.

Lyle Reiner 174 Report post Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah need an excavator to fix last years launch lol. Will be interesting to see the weights this year with the super late ice Quote Prostaff For Lowrance Canada Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalleyeWayne 137 Report post Posted April 25, 2014 When I speak of launch improvements I'm referring to the launch ramp. Loading was congested last year due to many situations of poor launch etiquette. Way too many teams were more interested in checking out the leader board instead of moving their rigs up and away from the turn-around area after they had trailered. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayfishin 63 Report post Posted April 25, 2014 Ya certain individuals who had their trucks on the beach in the way had a bad attitude. My dad wasn't impressed when one female told my him to F-ck off, when he politely asked her to move their truck over so they weren't blocking the ramp area at the weigh-in. Nice way to end a good day on the water eh!Jay 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalleyeWayne 137 Report post Posted April 25, 2014 No knock on the organizing committee, they do what they can with a limited turn-around area. It rests with the teams to keep the line a'movin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canadianyanke 7 Report post Posted April 25, 2014 i know alot of the bigger rigs last year had a hell of a time getting their boats off by launching beside the pad thats why i mentioned it. I thought last year it actually ran quite smoothly loading up after the derby. The clay boil that was like 1km from the launch is going to be fixed too.

Better bring some extra anchors so the tent isn't blown off the lot with all that snoring and flatulence that is certain to be exuded from the interior after indulging in some fine foods as cold refreshments!

Lyle Reiner 174 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 Muzzy and crew; curious. Say the fish have just started to spawn on frazer, (deep lake,could have late ice out). Will we still have the tourney? Pull a hog out full of eggs for the weigh in? Thoughts? I don't want it to happen, I don't know if it will. But there should be a contingency plan?

WalleyeWayne 137 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 Ryan I see you still have that keen eye for spotting quality equipment. Good thing Brett is checking on a few in the Twin Cities area this weekend. Could be a road trip to pick up a Palomino Bronco pop-up next week...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Lyle, I highly doubt there will be any egg laden females caught. Some might spawn in the lake but they'll be so ripe they'll let them go at the bottom end of the spawn temp scale. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource!
