For the third week in a row, we had great weather for fishing. While the weather was good, the fishing was slow for Fish Lake standards. The overall scores were about half of last year's scores. The fish seem to be scattered rather than concentrated in small areas (with the exception of the sunnies.) Overall, the group caught 4 walleye, 11 crappie, 15 perch, 34 sunnies, 7 pike, and 1 bass. Two of the walleye caught were over 20 inches (20.5" & 24.5"). The largest fish award for the event was for pike and was won by Boyd Hanson of Grumpy Old Men. The pike was 24.5" long. Next week we are off, and on June 17th, we will be on the river at the Clyde Avenue launch. See you then! Sub fees collected = $5.

Congratulations to Mike and Bob (The Master Baiters) for getting a nice mess of fish.  The rumor in the parking lot is that Bob carried the team and even managed to not fall out of the boat tonight.  The largest fish award went to Forced Entry with a 20” walleye.  Overall, the league recorded 10 walleyes, 8 northerns, 18 bass, 10 crappies, 15 perch, and 5 sunfish.  There were four multi-species bonuses which is very unusual for Island Lake.  Many of the fish that were measured were bonus size. Numerous fish were caught in about  three to four feet of water. Our group seriously considered cutting the Island Lake event due to the low water conditions, but it turned out to be a very nice night of fishing.  To the best of my knowledge, only four boats dinged their props and nobody lost their lower unit!  Next event is June 3rd at High Banks Resort on Fish Lake.  Please stop in for food and drinks and say hi.

 Time Change for Night 2

The Competition Committee changed the start time from 5:00 to 5:30, and we end at 9:00pm.  This was discussed at the landing on Monday, but if teams left early, they may not have gotten the word.  Please let others know that may have left early.  See you on Fish!

With the low water levels on Island Lake North, we will be avoiding it for a while.  The schedule changes are:

Night 1 - no change, still the St Louis River - Boy Scout
Night 2 - Island Lake replaced with Fish Lake.
Night 3 - Fish Lake switched back to the St. Louis River, Garfield.
Night 4 - resume posted schedule at Sturgeon Lake.

Remember to pass this along to everyone.  Thanks

Welcome back everyone to our 12th year!  Tonight was on of the nicest evenings I can ever remember for Rice Lake.  Winds were light from the SE and water temps were in the mid-60’s depending on where you were at on the lake.  Air temps were in the low 70’s.  Congratulations to the Minno-Ette for getting of to a nice start.  It was good to see Mr. Windus back in league action!  Overall, we measured 32 Pike, 14 walleye, 4 Crappie, 6 Sunnies and 1 Perch.  Cory and Rodger (Nurse Sharks) took home the prize for the largest Pike tonight (25.5”).  This is about the same as last year as the fishing on Rice Lake continues to improve.  On May 27th, we will be at Island Lake.  Six teams were for, two were against and two did not really care just as long as we were fishing.  We will launch at the Dam and be sure to park in the lot (the beach is off limits).  If you have a larger boat, I would launch on the south side of the dock.  See you on the 27th!
