Congrats to the Swingers! They managed to figure out Fish Lake and get a nice variety of fish while the rest of us had a tough time finding enough fish to score a MSB. Tonight we had a fair amount of panfish, but the pike and walleye were tough to come by. The Grumpy Old Men picked up their third big fish award of the year with a 17 1/4" bass. No off week this week as we are on Grand Lake July 15th. See you then! Sub fees collected=$20

A crazy night of fishing to say the least. The night started out very warm and humid as the first storm missed us. At 7:30, our streak of good weather came to an end as we finished the night in strong winds and heavy rain. We were able to get the entire event in and the scores were very good considering all the weather changes. Please check your scores to be sure they are correct. (The sheets were all filled out on the shore due to the downpour.) Congrats to the Grumpy Old Men who picked up their 2nd big fish award this year! Next week we are off. Our next event will be at Fish Lake (launch at High Banks.) Happy July 4th! If you get out fishing this week off, be sure to get your bait and supplies from our sponsors! Sub fees collected=$10.

 Due to Island Lake North being low the competition committee has changed our location to Island Lake South, near Moose Lake.  So please pass the word along to everyone.

The rest of the teams scored zero.

A tough night of fishing to say the least. Muddy water, a major storm front, and a Mayfly hatch do not add up to good fishing conditions. Only one boat registered more than one fish and four teams did not register any points. Only one Walleye was registered. It was caught by Brad Schramm of the Big Dogs and measured 26". This took the biggest fish award for the night. It was caught up river, so I guess there are a few nice fish still holding up river! (Maybe liking the cleaner water?) No off week next week as we will be on Big Lake on the 24th. See you then. Sub fees collected: $5.

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.
