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

Thanks for the info...
a few questions...must have two people ? (team)
...working livewell ? does it need an airator ?
...how many places do you pay out to...?
I asked hubby to join me hes moaning... : - (
thanks for your patience ...
I caught a 16" Large Mouth today and a nice 46 cm Walleye
...supper..! Bass went back into the lake for one of you to catch next Tuesday : - ) ..!

hopefully you can join, unfortunately we have some people backing out or switching to maybe's
stuff happens though.

payout is 100% and is dependent of the entries. 10 boats and over pays out to 3rd place and 6-9 pays out 1st and 2nd and I really hope this doesn't happen but 5 boats and under is winner takes all minus the big fish of course.
big fish fee is included in the entry fee in all.

2 people MAX but not needed per boat.
hope this answers all of your questions lol

Just the live well question....My boat has a livewell with a pump but not an airator.?
Txs I learned alot .

Livewell with a pump that filters in new water? That still acts as an airator as it filters in new oxygenated water. And so in short ya that's fine

Is it a Legend boat? No aerator - just constant slow filling / draining of livewell . . .

I'm no expert on it yet - constant adding of fresh water may be better than using same water over hours - where waste / blood not removed . . ?

Thanks

Very true and plus u get to keep the fish at the same water temp as the actual lake water.

Only flaw is with my legend for eg. It's 4 feet wide and holds a LOT of water so if my first fish in a tourney is a small one I am potentially slowing down my boat like crazy with water weight and it might only be just to hold that one small fish.


Not this tourney though. 4 pounders only lol

That's a small amount of water. Sounds like you need a larger engine!

Having water 'load' in front can help get to plane quicker. And also stabilize for faster travel with passengers in stern . . .

Nah it really doesn't slow us down THAT much i exaggerated a bit but i do notice a change in gas mileage plus i already have my trolling motor batteries up there so more then enough weight up front for sure lol
. Was more saying it as it seems a bit much to hold a small fish.

ok so we have a couple of days left and it looks like unfortunately there have been some people that can't make it and some people that are now a maybe, so our good turn out is dwindling a little.

i'm still going regardless so even if I have to have a one on one show down with my partner I will be there any way lol.

ok so right now confirmed I have the following teams.
any one else please update me if anything has changed.

1. putaforkinya
2. scro1908
3. fisherboy
4. Kaykatz /zuperalexu
5. Mackfisher

beers (maybe)
dirtyrottenbaby (maybe)
Bigfishlil/ Topwater (maybe, would be more probably if can start at 3:30)
fish4dinner/ Thanh (maybe)
EJ B (game time decsioin)
Andrewckayes (probably not)



as for the times. one team is much more likely to make it out if we can start it at 3:30 and I fell 3:30-8 seems short to fish. I know most here wanted it until 8 so if 3:30-8:30 is to late then we will just leave it at 3-8.

please let me know though.

I feel for you putaforkinya,its tuff making arrangements for the group to be and all the maybes/stories really set you back in your abilities to organize the day ...Hats of to you for all extra you do especially for your time before events and after.

Thanks fishmagnet. I don't find it to be to much work. It was a bit at first but now that I have a table and scoreboard and scale it's getting easier. Yes the hardest part is trying to get everyone that's on different schedules and walks of life onto the same one for a night of fishing but it's for the love of fishing and by no means "work" lol

I love fishing and I am competitive and so when you combined the two it's great , and to be able to do so on a playing field where pro's that fish the lake every day aren't there makes it that much more fun.

My dad and I are flexible on the start and end times so doesn't matter much to us.. Just let us know the times once confirmed , getting excited for this hopefully everyone can make it out should be a fun tourney

zuperalexu will be joining me on Rice Lake. We're both rookies and neither of us know the lake but our enthusiasm should make up for that. Looking forward to it.

Awesome. I'm glad you were able to find a partner. You guys will learn the lake together lol.

And on that lake u never know. Might show us all where the big ones are.

wow from 13 to 6 confirmed in like 2 days. we are one more cancellation away from having a winner takes all tourney lol.

any way like I said before I will be there no matter what or how little boats we have out.

I am going to confirm the time for 3-8
as the people that were worried about making it from work are now maybe's either way.
see you guys tomorrow
