o2 I hear what you are saying, but there are those that have fished every year but live out of town and may not drive just for the drawing. It is one year out of all those others that only the fisherman had a chance for the money. I don't see it has a big issue. I have stated before, why not sell tickets for those that do not fish. It would put more money in for prizes and at the same time make more tickets available for those that do fish. Then if another year like this happens, problem solved. If I find your shanty I will take you up on that beer....h2l
Yea they did pay the same as the rest of us, but if they don't fish how do they have the same odds to cash hourly money as the ones that freeze their asses off out there for 8 hours. I know a lot of people only get into this contest for the chance to win 1 of the machines. In which they don't have to be present for to claim. All door prizes you need to claim by 5pm. So in the case of no contest and random drawing of the hourly payouts you should have to be present to claim. I have also entered this contest since the very beginning and braved the elements every year unlike some this year that will most likely cash in on an hourly payout........
The gate is open at the campsite this afternoon and it has been plowed....h2l
Is it just my luck or are the big Yelow Perch getting scarce? Big yellows used to make up a large part of our catch, but over the last couple years our numbers have gone down. Is anyone else having the same experience or care to weigh in?
How are they to eat?
Anyone hear of any pike being caught ??
