Rice Lake Twilight tournament, tuesday July 21 who's in?

great fish but you seem to be practising on the wrong lake lol

Haha yeah

6 days left, anyone else in?

I'm still solo, could use a partner. Especially someone who knows the lake.

rivermaster? i know you know the lake.

anyone else interested?



also does everyones know how to get to the Gore's laanding public launch?

I got kicked in the nads for next week! The one only person who covers me and he does a really good job because he has not missed a day of work for over 14 years! His wife booked last minute to Punta Cana for the family. So at this point I will be a maybe. I will pull the boat to work and if I feel right to get out before 1pm... I'll make it. But it will be a last minute decision.

My brother will be on stand by as well. He is hating my plan but it is what it is.

Matt so far my boss is not giving me the time off might not make it...

This is not good. Cancelations... don't bosses know fishing comes first?

My boss lives in Boston. They make fun of our inland lake fishing. He tells me to stop wasting time fishing inland lakes.... But I can't argue after I seen the stripers and tuna they catch. Also the lobster they bring home for a meal.

Wheres the public launch at Gores please...I know where Harris Boat Works is..txs

You may be better off launching at Harris then driving boat the few hundred meters east to get to Gores Landing.

If coming up from 401 instead of turning right to go to Harris - keep going straight to lake for the launch. . .

Fish Online is a Government website the shows 2 public launches at Gores Landing. I've never been there myself, but you guys can check out this site.

HAha : - (
waiting for "Fork" to post some rules of the tourney this is all new for me... maybe next time

Only 1 is public - end of county road 18. The other is the marina there . .

Odd site - not too sure I'd trust it - would rather validate it against other sources . . .

Thanks

Hey sorry. Been trying to wait on a confirmation for time from some before posting the rules but in a nutshell they are like the rest of the tourneys.
(Minus the time difference of course)
You should join. Should be fun
