Oh I’ve done it before but cracked my pipes on live well trying to keep fish alive snapped rods and now there will be 20 boats instead of 70 more the merrier that’s what this tournament is about
Yes there does seem to be more bait fish in the system this year and I’m sure it has something to do with it bit not all of it I’m still catching plenty of fish just way smaller than the average has been in the past
I’ve also talked to many people who fish lake pepin and said this winter was extremely slow why is everyone in denial I never once said the river is the dead sea I said it has less fish than years past
I do fish many other rivers in the spring thanks for your concern though
Bk I’m not saying the fish are not there iam saying there not there in the numbers or size they were 5 or 10 years ago ya I could go to many spots on the river drop down my camera and see walleyes but just a few years ago u could drop your camera anywhere and see what the videos that was posted on here showed who ever says the numbers are the same or up are clueless I fish this river 10 times a spring for last 10 years and I know and so do 98℅ of the people that fish the river this spring something is wrong
The river is not the same it’s gotten worse every year for the last 10 years. The freeze your but tournament has many great fisherman fishing it and 10lbs win it and only 20 some out of 70 boats caught a legal fish. Lots of 6 to 14 inch fish in the system the average fish use to be 17 inches it was hard to catch fish under 15 inches. Not sure if it has to do with a few bad spawns years ago fishing pressure and limit taking , scour hole fishing. Limits need to be smaller and there should be no fishing by the dam and things may turn around but there are fewer and smaller fish in the system and its clear to see
