Day 1

Tied for first place, weighed in 0 fish for 0 pounds!!! LOL

Cancelled day one which really SUCKS because I am boat 7. Sunday I will now launch 7th to last. OUCHY!!!!!

I know there will be alot of talk about this cancellation and hind site being 20/20, I think the wrong call was made but after last year, I understand they are a bit gun shy.

Well cross your fingers for me and Permo as we swing for the fence tommorow!!!!
 

Good Luck and Good Fishin'

When I began to get poured on at about 9:30 I wondered why I didn't cancel my own trip.  I was braving the wind and rain until about 10:30 when I pulled my last 17 incher.  It was a doozy out there.  I was happy though, I was able to load my boat without busting anything (fished by myself).  Hate beaching my boat when it is windy and then run up to pickup to get trailer in water!

Good luck to you all tomorrow!

Was it the wind, rain, or lightning that cancelled it for the day?

Tough call to make I am sure but don't think it was the wrong call.  Tough to mess with mother nature.  There where pretty nasty storms out there yesterday/evening.  Most stayed east of the lake but better safe than sorry.  Closest tornado report was over Michigan and only got worse as you headed towards Grand Forks.  Also; AWOS @ DEVILS LAKE (RAMSEY)...................1.93 of rain.

Neb,
Last year winds were sustained low 40s with gusts of 49 out of the NW.  Multiple boats had damage due to the conditions; 1 boat took on too much water , and Permo and I nearly sank "eleanor" around the SW corner of Grahams.  Seems as though it isnt nearlty as bad this year, but after the poor decision to let us go last year they are playing it safe.

Walynut,
YES, it sucks to be at work....

Looklng forward to reports after today!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES, I am that foolish!

Yep, a 1 day shootout.  Swing for the fences!!!  5 good bites for Permo and Walynut (each) hopefully.

Well, it was a windy, wavy and wet day for sure. Reminded me a lot of day 1 launch conditions of last year.  We ran to "you know where" at about 15-20 mph.  Those are good waves.

We ended up in 12th place, I am a little dissapointed.  We "goonched" a nice one that would have given us a top 5.    We only weighed four fish.

Windy to say the least.  I did not fish the tourney, but was talking to a fellow fishermen at 6 mile that rescured 4 guys from a capped boat on the main lake.  He was heading over to Creel and saw waving arms in the distance.  The story seems odd, but fact is they where clinging to their boat that was flipped over.

True story, co-workers family and they all made it OK.  Very cold and wet.  Why they were on the main lake in that amazes me, but .....
