Very good, I’d love to see your name on it. Good luck and try for one 5” or smaller to win. Later Jeff

Thanks John, I forgot the hook so it’s good you posted so I can try to get your update correct. Thanks Jeff

Looks like the South has a fish on the board. Nice 27.5 Ice Sled

Yup and Pat got 3 fish too. Wish the ice out home would clear so I could cast out. May have to try the river. But it’s too cold today. Good luck. J

in 1st Pat nice. Guess I'll have to really start looking. can't let a southern hold top position for long.

You're right there, we can't let them get comfortable at the top.... And pretty sure you can make it a race... Good luck in keeping them working for the top... Later J

Well now that TD is leading a two-fisted charge you may be seeing nothing but our tails soon.

What tails would that be......? Cat tails, Carp tails, or skunk tails........

John, we are heading to BRBR Saturday morning. Work I needed to do on the boat will have to wait for the parts to come in. Hope to be up along the river about 8 a.m.

I have no comeback to that. You win this round I guess. Or maybe I can tag-team it with TD, I'll bet he can come up with one .

P.S. Ooh, ooh, I just thought of something. Maybe I could make something up about you up north being scaredy cats with your tails between your legs but I'm too tired to figure one out right now.

It has been really tough. We still having 20 degree night time temps. Gave it a try today. Not even a nibble. Using carp minnows I caught last fall at Benson. Might be they want some nice fresh carp meat, but I cant even find any of them.

Really want to hit it Friday but Truck needs to go to the shop . I will see you Saturday for sure.

Yesterday afternoon I was heading up to a meeting and the ice is starting to melt off that slough by the Benson church and around the edges of the ice just west (and a little south) of the church there were a bunch of carp, I think, thrashing around, had me interested in trying, but I had a water meeting I had to attend.. Always seems like fresh bait does so much better than the freezer burned stuff I've got left over from last year... Won't be too much longer for me.... Ice challenge ending today, I'll be switching over my attention after this weekend... Later J

Happy tails.

Hey Pat, you sure that wasn't a dead cat? Looks awful light colored, almost white. I know that photo had to be from awhile back seein as how that wasn't you new red rover tube

Nothing but our tail lights

Had a little good luck along with a little bad. Caught a nice 28 incher. but after taking a picture I dropped my bump board and broke it. cheap store bought junk . So I will be using my good old homemade one. Do you need to re-verify it Jeff?

Oh my Team South has really got a lead on us guys. Hopefully this weekends weather isn't going to be too bad. Lower Bear still slow but there are a few cats biting lets get out there North.

John it's official, you got the first 30" fish of the contest this year... Nice job... and I agree with you us northerners need to get out and help you out, we can't leave all the heavy lifting to you alone... Part of the reason for the 10 fish team is so one person can't carry the whole thing... I'll try to get out and see if I can find some channels next time... Don't think my mudders did much to help us out.... Well it did one day before the southern press of nice fish yesterday, but I need to get them bumped soon... Hope I can find some good ones before it chills off too much and shuts them back down... I'll do what I can... Later J

another wet day. found a few players. 30", 22", and a 25". Tin can (Forest) showed up. I stick around for a little while longer. then decided to go fish for bait. caught a big 32" carp. Then went home.
