Thanks Quill - I am up for the May timeframe. Appreciate you and Mike herding the turtles! C4F

Just checking to see if this is still a go - I see that the chance of rain is right at 70%...showers in the a.m. becoming steady to light in the afternoon. They are predicting a bit of snow up here....doubt it will last long C4F

Well I dropped to 10th place, shade on the dogs butt...I don't think I would have ever picked many of the top finishers since I didn't even know who most were until the week before this tourney. Glad to see Ike get back in the mix C4F

Hmmm....I guess sun does shine on a dogs butt once in awhile...I don't think in all of the years that I have been playing that I have ever been in first....took a screen shot so I had proof!! We will see how well the pick are going forward. C4F

Quill - that is a problem I would like to have...along with what I would do with all of the lottery $$$$ C4F

I'm in - payment sent! C4F

I can bring water and soda if that works, C4F

Mike - thanks for sharing this tough news...Champ is right it is part of the journey....just a path that I wish we didnt have to walk down. Prayers for his family and we will miss him at the OA Tourney. C4F

Well our water is about 4-6 inches thick right so this is just plain mean. Well done anyway

I just checked in on this after a period and it did turn to a different direction than the intended "boy am I glad I got a rod" thought. First I'd like to thank Champ for thinking that I could even catch a fish to cash! Boy would my wife like that part! Then I would not have to lean on the "free rod" comment as much 😉 Second, This is only one of the many times I come to the Rock to fish and I like the format since it gives even the poorly abled a chance - but I also get to talk to a great group of guys, Like last year I met a couple of guys at Dana's that were fishing the tourney and it was great to sit and visit. Much like the OA get together...BTW Quill you need to schedule that. The conservation conversations are very enlightening and educational as each state looks at this differently...like upland bird hunting. SD stocks quite a bit along with private land owners while here in NE they are left to populate on their own. I think it is good to keep talking and thinking about ways to improve - times does not stand still and there may come a person or an organization that can and will make a difference! Have a great and safe New Year C4F

Got in right at 8 a.m. I noticed that there is only 45 rods when I checked at 9:10 a.m. I am looking forward to the event.... C4F

Had a good couple of days fishing so far....getting out bit before light each morning and throwing either a sculpin jig or the ever infamous pink worm under a float. Fishing the jig size depending on the current and the pink worm depending on the depth. (See Phil's post from Sept. 3rd) Once the sun comes over the bluff it slows down across from the condos, so move down lake. Trout Hollow to Lilley's has produced some nice sized fish....I have been catching and releasing so these are back in the water!! Tomorrow I am going to tie on a micro jig and see what happens! C4F

That jerkbait bite is pretty awesome....sounds like you had a very good day! C4F

That sounds like a great morning - with the sun starting to brighten the horizon aroun 4:45 here makes for a great day....now it is 92! And the humidity is thick....perfect fishing weather for sure!!!!! I envy your ability to fish during the week!! C4F

That small mouth bite is awesome...look's like you did a good job. C4F

Made my picks for this week....went with my gut and I am sure it will turn into indigestion 😳 I noticed that I am only a few points ahead of Quill!! C4F

Woke up to 35 degrees up here

Yeah - it was odd having almost 30 days to figure out the who....purtty much a thumb in the wind situation for me....But I am doing better this year than last for sure. C4F

Looked like some guys caught fish....all the guys here at the resort really struggled including myself....I threw a lot of stuff at them, heck I was so frustrated that I stopped for a bit and watched YouTube to get a few tips! I even taped a benjamin to the bow in hopes of drawing a large mouth, small mouth or even a crappie. There is talk that the bite will be better tomorrow....cant complain too much - it was a great day to be on the water...now I just need to get over and get my free rod! I was hoping to multi task..you know weigh a fish, collect a check, pick up a rod. One out of three aint bad C4F

8 lbs....wow....I guess I can always fish for second place! 😳 I always lookforwardingg to donating my entry fee! C4F

Mike / Jeff I was looking at the same thing....going to be a bit chilly. I can make the 19th work if the decision is made to move it.

21 hours left....I made my picks. Struggled with some of them based on history.

I am surprised that I landed in 6th place! Only one of my picks made it all the way to Sunday! I am reading and watching the vids of all of the picks to see if anything makes sense... Kinda funny I just watched the Palaniuk vid and he does not pick himself. C4F

Great looking fish - I have to look at the stunna.. I am envious to say the least...finally the ice is melting up here. C4F
