Bait Hut ~ Just For Fun ~ Fall Tournament

Greetings, fisherfolk...

Bait Hut's going to do a Fall Just For Fun crappie tournament, Sunday Oct 28th, at Clinton State Park, West Ramp. Get ready to get ready.

There are already entry forms at the store. Our website is being re-designed, and forms will be available there by hopefully Monday, maybe sooner. www.baithut.net (Redesigning websites is NOT as much fun as fishing, sez me.)

In the meantime, WaterWitchin' will be getting out her cauldron cookbook, and figuring out what this event's special slop should be. :witching

Well, almost time, and it looks like a fairly cool but decent day for Just For Fun fishin'. So far, forecast is 58 high, light winds from west, and only 2% chance of rain, sunrise at 0747.

Ham and beans with cornbread should be just about right for the day. :witching

Couldn't have made a better choice on your meal of the day hope to make it!

Anyone fishing in this??

I have 6 pre entries and feel we will have a good turnout.

labs should be there I will also be there. Guess Cheif and some of the other ks trail guys will be there too.

I'll be there. Morstorf & his boy (hope he's a lot more like his mother), Breitenstein is fishing with someone else said he's not carrying Morstorf in this one.

Guess it starts about 7?

@Chiefmoochachew... yes, sevenish is takeoff. Daylight at 0747, so there ya go. My guess is we'll be there around 630ish for day-of entries, PJs for me. :biggrin

@birddog... gracias for headcount. We do realize I have to stir my cauldron well prior to the event, right? :)

@Ozark88... Ummm, yeah, folks do come fish it. Might wanna give it a try... won't hurt, and the food is worth the effort, sez me. If all goes well, I'll introduce ya to my newest pup. Like your quote, dog lover.:HandsClapping

Sorry I won't be fishing this fall Just For Fun tournament this year. I have lined up 4-5 friends/relatives to help me pull my summer pontoon boat out of the lake Saturday and put my winter fishing shack in my slip. My winter fishing shack does not have a motor on it so I'll be stuck in my slip keeping warm over piles put there 3 years ago on Sunday. I might come by for ham and beans and visit with you all though if that would be okay?
Good luck to those fishing the Just For Fun tourney.

Captain Dan you are more than welcome to stop by and eat some warm ham and beans and see how the folks on the water did.

What a beautiful day for a [I]Just for Fun [/I]tournament. WaterWitchin sez ANY day on the lake with light winds, sun, and ending up in shirt sleeves by end of day is a keeper.

Our die-hards have fished thru some hella worse fall (or spring) tourneys than this one. We lucked out, weather-wise, today. But fishin'-wise, it was tough, huh guys & gals?

Fourteen boats, and some real struggles to get keeper fish. Ham n beans & cornbread were excellent, so I'm told...a shout out to you-know-who for the extra $ toward food. Gracias to those who helped socialize my new guard dog pup. Thanks to the table-schlepper, when Zebco Wizard's truck went belly up... kinda like the boat, huh? :biggrin

Okay, I'll shut up, and here 'tis...

1st Skinner & B Manis 5.88
2d K Manis & Grooms 5.84 and AOS 4.88 with a Wiper?
3d McKellips & Kirk 5.58
4th Crai & Kozubek 5.30
Big Fish A. Schrock 1.39 & 13-1/4"

Ten extra raffle prizes for those who weren't "in the money," courtesy of Top Secret (whose lures appeared to make the day pay off for some) and Minnesota Bait.

Winter hours for Bait Hut began today (closed Sunday & Monday), open Tues-Saturday 8-5. Zebco Wizard is looking forward to some well-deserved rest for his feet and mouth. :biggrin

Let's do it again next spring... Just For Fun, of course.

WW n Zeb Wizard, I want to Thank Both of U for the invite to stay and enjoy the delicious H&B plus the BS with all the fishers. Again Thanx! DK

:welcome anytime, dkv. The conversation and food are WaterWitchin's favorite part....I'm always much more awake by afternoon than dark-thirty. :witching

Thanks for the update, glad you guys had a nice day to fish and see you on the water or at the ramp. GL
