DL Chamber Tour

When I began to get poured on at about 9:30 I wondered why I didn't cancel my own trip.  I was braving the wind and rain until about 10:30 when I pulled my last 17 incher.  It was a doozy out there.  I was happy though, I was able to load my boat without busting anything (fished by myself).  Hate beaching my boat when it is windy and then run up to pickup to get trailer in water!

Good luck to you all tomorrow!

Walynut,

# of fish and pounds sounds similar to your prefishing prowess!!!!!!!

Good luck tomorrow. Wishin I was fishin.

Was it the wind, rain, or lightning that cancelled it for the day?

Tough call to make I am sure but don't think it was the wrong call.  Tough to mess with mother nature.  There where pretty nasty storms out there yesterday/evening.  Most stayed east of the lake but better safe than sorry.  Closest tornado report was over Michigan and only got worse as you headed towards Grand Forks.  Also; AWOS @ DEVILS LAKE (RAMSEY)...................1.93 of rain.

Frosty

Very fuuny Luveyes. Winds were gusts to 25. South of lake was somewhat calm. I got pulled in with the committee and I said my peace to no evail. Oh well, we'll bust them Sunday.

Luveyes,

Must be sucking to be workin'!! HA HA!!!!

What happened last year that may have made there decision to call off tourney for the day?

It was windier than heck last year and a few boats swamped if my memory serves me corrrectly?

Neb,
Last year winds were sustained low 40s with gusts of 49 out of the NW.  Multiple boats had damage due to the conditions; 1 boat took on too much water , and Permo and I nearly sank "eleanor" around the SW corner of Grahams.  Seems as though it isnt nearlty as bad this year, but after the poor decision to let us go last year they are playing it safe.

Walynut,
YES, it sucks to be at work....

Looklng forward to reports after today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.  It would be nice to see reports but this will only be a one day tourney now isn't  that right?

Yep, a 1 day shootout.  Swing for the fences!!!  5 good bites for Permo and Walynut (each) hopefully.

Well, it was a windy, wavy and wet day for sure. Reminded me a lot of day 1 launch conditions of last year.  We ran to "you know where" at about 15-20 mph.  Those are good waves.

We ended up in 12th place, I am a little dissapointed.  We "goonched" a nice one that would have given us a top 5.    We only weighed four fish. 

anyone have results for the tourney?

True story, co-workers family and they all made it OK.  Very cold and wet.  Why they were on the main lake in that amazes me, but .....
