The final results and big fish standings have been updated.  Thanks to all the anglers, volunteers and sonsors for a great event!  We are processing hundreds of pictures and will post them soon.  Stay tuned!

Around noon today, Cliffy latched on to this hawg that measured 31 inches!  This beauty was roaming around on a mud flat in 27 feet of water.  We caught many fish on the same spot ranging from 16 inches to this 31 incher.  Water temp today was 67 degrees.

There are two spots still available for the Classic.  Call or email to sign up!

Walleyes are already on their summer patterns with lots of them schooling up and easy to catch.

Water levels are close to normal... maybe slightly low in town but the current flow has really picked up in the last week which should bring the water level up.

Come back for a detailed report on Monday including water temps and hopefully some pics!

Please check out the new sponsor section!

See you on the water,

Preparations for the tournament are going great.  We have 3 spots that have just become available so if you are thinking of entering this year's Classic, this is your chance!

See you on the water,
