Fishing Tournament

I received an email last night from Tech's fishing club regarding a fishing tournament in Chassel this Saturday. The information is as follows:

• Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 
• Entry fee of $25 per pair
• Single largest Crappie or Perch and heaviest 15 fish per team
• Teams must be signed up with dues paid by 5 p.m. on Friday afternoon. 

This event is being put on by the owner of the bait shop in Chassel and it sounds like it should be a good time with nice weather. By the sounds of it, there is still a decent amount of ice so, I hope people get out and catch some fish.

First Ice...Out to Fish

I finally got settled in after my return to the U.P. and was definitely excited to get out and fish. The ice in Keweenaw Bay was non existent on my drive up, but Chassel looked like it had good ice and there were several people out fishing. I got down to Lake Linden on the 9th to find good ice but heavy winds. It wasn't very enjoyable, not to mention that I didn't get anything on tip-ups or a perch rig. Looking forward to venturing North this weekend towards Copper Harbor.
