Who is willing to admit they are fishing this year's Polar Bear?

(This could be fun)

So with the highest recorded water level EVER today, and what will be extreme current for the next 2 days until the close the flood gates.......

 

Who is crazy enough to admit they will fish this year's Polar Bear tournament? 

Not only will it be dangerous with floating debris everywhere......this is unprecedented fishing conditions.  Winter, water temps should be in the mid to upper 40's, dirty as yesterday's EZ-Mart coffee, and on top of that........just plain cold with lows in the 20's Friday.

I'm going out with RK crawlers tied on.

Not fishing the polar bear.  But if I have, time I'll head out for a little bit and see what the lake is like.  I'm curious.  

[Jerry Rapp]

if the lake isn't closed to boat traffic(which it should be), I would fish it if I was in the general area.  Wide open.  If anyone could find some clear water, they could win with a couple of fish.  No local advantage at all.  Closest thing you will ever get to an old mystery lake Classic.

The mudline will likely be up near the dam itself.  With the amount of widow makers floating between Prairie Creek and the Dam, if someone was to win, it would pay the insurance fees for hull repairs. :-)

 

I saw a video of the Hickory Creek area and it looked to be anice 8-15mph current draw with how fast the tree was floating down river. 

Get out and look out of curiosity?  Nothing to see. Just high water and debris floating everywhere.

If I was fishing I would run to the back of PC and throw the brightest Jerk bait I had all day. I would only use the big motor to load the boat on the trailer. But I will not be fishing this one.

Big thumper spinnerbait would probably get you a few bites. But no, I'm not fishing. Hadn't planned to anyway.

Maybe I will make this my first tournament.  My boat is worth about 50 bucks.  Do the rules for this one say you need a kill switch if the motor will hardly stay running?  Mine usually does a great job of dying on its own every few seconds!

I'm not really fishing it, but they should postpone the polar bear due to the debris. I bet the turnout is lower than average.

I heard they are not having the Polar Bear. They are making official decision tomorrow. I happened to be at Hook Line and Sinker when they were talking about it. Whether it's moved to a different date I didn't hear anything about that.
