If you don't mind sharing send me a pm. The one we made last year was a big fat bust. Looking to get one done before the tourney

Now this means at least four augers, which is three more than last year. I spent the first hour drilling holes for 50 people. Still have the scar on my hand when I took off the glove and turned around.....SIZZLE!

I can also bring my old school Spoon-style Hand Auger.....it'll give people a new appreciation for the power augers

Anyone can use the auger. I must say it has been a very wise investment so far. The only thing that sucks is falling on your arse with one. It's like falling with a beer. No matter what you can't seem to let it go while falling.

He's probably good with the chainsaw! He said he wanted to bring the motorcycle trailer and put a generator in the back with chairs and my space heater, to boot!

Only one weigh station. I leave Ricky in charge of weighing and prizes. (This is his baby after all and I'll be fishing). He was stationed off of the peninsula that is at the end of the public parking lot last year.

seals + plovers =

I had a lot of fun watching people falling on their tails while trying to get to the weighmaster after a couple too many wobbly pops.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I'm planning on attending.

I'm thinking we'll need two more volunteer weighmasters. Seano's got one scale that I'll use, and I'll buy another, if somebody's got a third that we can borrow???

Had 5-7" in Lee on Saturday. It was cold. And Ricky forgot his jacket. So I shedded a layer for him. I got one pike at about 10#s. Ricky and Shawno each got a small pike as well.

Thumbs up

That's a very respectable Pike. About 36" I'd guess.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
