Pike, perch, walleyes up north. May hit the west side of Alburgh for some big slimy lakers too ;D

I am pretty sure I know the answer, but do you need a registered witness to enter fish?  Can never get anyone to go out both days, so I never enter.

Guess I am going to try Sandbar this weekend for the first time.  Probably have to buy a ticket, and bribe someone out there to take a ride to the weigh in with me.

How much Ice, out at the Sandbar right now?  Are you able to drive out there, with a good sized truck yet?  I would like to get into the Island Derby, but I would be coming by my self, and would be sleeping in back of my truck, as I have a Cap, on the back.  I would be coming from the NEK, and would hate to have to go back and fourth, for the two day tournament!  I would be going for Pike.  I haven't been in this tournament, for years.  Other wise, I won't enter! ; ???
