January 25th 2015 postponed from the 24th due to a snow storm. Kapt was there near 7 am plowing a skating rink at least 200 yards long, and paths out to Ground 0 where we had the tables set up. HUGE THANKS !
23 kids trudged through snow,slush, and water to fish the event. Parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles all enjoyed the day, as well. Approximately 15 fish were brought to the scale, and many more caught and released.
Mckenna took first in "sunfish" category with a .12 lber Josh Maxwell took first in the "other" category with a 1.08 lb catfish Josh Maxwell also took first in the "Pickerel" category with a 2.74 lber. Carter Davis took first in the "Bass" category with a .94 lber.
some notes: *At least 4 pond shiners were caught (pike bait size ! ) *With the weight of the snow, parts of our fishing areas became ponds. *Don't drill holes where you want to stay dry
*If you didn't sign up on Mitch's sheet with your address, make sure you pm him. We will be sending out some stuff.
Big thanks to 289Fs, and wife for hot chocolate and Deep Calling for snacks for kids. Both for drilling holes and letting people use their augers SmallFry(Alex ) for signing kids up, and weighing in fish Buckcall, and Jeff_Tree for helping out all around, and Mitch P for obtaining the permit, and keeping this site active, so we can do these kinds of events. Hopefully we can continue this tradition in the future.
