shore fishermen took the biggest fish last year!

[gilly]

Sorry IFN I only have a handheld CB and my cell phone with me in my boat. I am sure our paths will cross eventually. I always seem to have something going during the smelt dipping outing but maybe we can catch you guys at another get together this year.
I was out Wed from 5:30 until about 8pm and landed five walleyes. All came drifting with hammered silver and orange beads. Good luck...gilly

The hawg was 9-8 for the first day. I left around 12:30 in the pouring rain. I managed 4, biggest a 5-3, which was tied for first for Saturday! I am sure that won't last. We shall see what tonight does...

[ice fishin nut]

We were there and saw your fish being weighed and scanned!!!!!

[CGA97]

I will be back tonight around midnight....if I have some fish to weigh. Otherwise I plan to fish until sunrise. Looking for a 10 pounder tonight! I hope this storm moves out soon, then I will head to my hole!

[ice fishin nut]

Just returned from there, the 9.8#er is still in the lead.... We arent going back tonight unless we have something to weigh. Otherwise we will be there around noon tomorrow!!!!

[sam-ph]

Hello Iam new to the site. Iam also entered in marble eye tourney. Have caught fish nothing big enough to enter. Storms killing us. Good Luck all.

[ice fishin nut]

I'm kinda waiting out the rain myself!!!!

[sam-ph]

IFN raining hard right now. I live on ST Clair River. Waiting to pump out the Lund.

[CGA97]

Got a late start (9) and caught 4 more fish last night. All came between 10 and 12. Fished till 2, then headed to the weigh-in as the storms came. My biggest was a 5-4, not big enough to make the top 5, but big enough to make my cooler! Made it home by 3 and tried to sleep, but the storms kept me up.

[ice fishin nut]

We ended up getting 2 whipping last night, got out at about 8:30 this morning and put one in the cooler(my only one for the weekend)..... Went to the weigh in cause we were expecting to purchase a fried walleye meal. I guess the fried walleye was for the big board guys only,,,,, doesnt really seem right to me??????

I was also fishing in the Marble Eye Tourney this weekend, it was a fun tourney to fish and only cost $5 bucks to enter. (most of which I made back by catching the "first fish" in our boats own mini tournament w/ "ice fishin nut" and "fasteight") Na Na Na Na :lol: LOL

Big thanks to "Willie" for loaning Mike the Whipping Rods that we used!


Cost of tournament - $5

Cost of embroidered tournament hat - $12

Cost of staying happly married because the wife doesn't know how much I actually spent on new lures this weekend - PRICELESS!

[stinger63]

I didnt enter the tourney but I did manage to catch a 5.5lber last night.It probaly wasnt one of the largest caught from the wall but definately something to be proud of.

[willie]

no problem guys! glad someone could use it. BTW "NUT" WILL wanted to drop off a 12lb"er at your house today :evil: finally got my mudd motor back,when do you want to try reel fishing :fish2:

[gsepan]

Stealydawn and myself fished 2 of the 3 days of the tourney with a total of 7 between us. All fish came on harnessess, 1 fish from Marine City and the rest from Algonac. Our largest was just shy of 4lbs. Oh well at least we have some fillets in the freezer for our efforts.

[CGA97]

fishin might be done for a couple days. The river is real muddy right now.

[Mrs IFN]
