    Wave forecast way off? It has been less than a foot all week just as forecasted. I have fished every day since Saturday, the 12th. And it's been the best weather all summer. And the fish were cooperating all week. Every day at least 30 fish days off the Catt. Yesterday we changed it up and went to dunkirk off vanburen out 130 to 145 fow and ran 2 riggers on the bottom with spoons and put 20 to 25 lake trout in the boat. Smallest was 12 lbs biggest was 22 lbs. There were a few sore arms after 5 hrs of doing that yesterday.

  19. Who's fishing the Southtowns Walleye Tournament this year?

    As far as it being to early in the season I do not share that opinion. Yes fishing is tougher but why is that an issue?  I can tell you that there is plenty of guys whom are going to catch the heck out of em. There is an old school way of thinking that the water is to cold, which is just wrong. The fish are present and available to catch but dont go out there and fish like it's mid July and expect to catch em. People just got done pounding them at night. Those fish don't just vanish. They have just moved. 
    As for this tournament being less expensive, it is to a certain extent. It cost a $100 per guy after it's all said in done. With four guys in a boat it's not much different then the rest of the one day shootout and con club.
    My opinion is the tournament is fine but add more to bring in the tournament anglers in would be a good move. The proof is in the facts. Take the sunset bay shootout, 444 and Conclub tourney, there is a waiting list a mile long. Heck I bet if Don made the entry fee 1k (without calcuttas) for the shootout they would still have a waiting list. I fish this tourney because I want to support the club to be honest the tournament aspect is lacking. 
    Im going to talk to Jim and hopefully get involved next year. I think there is a way to keep the old school guys happy and hopefully attract some new guys. The reality is very few will travel in from a distant with the prize structure. 

    I would love to see don go to 1000.00

    It has nothing to do with the "old coots" it's all about the time frame. The board of directors is actually swayed to the younger side not the older side anymore. You've got guys like myself who are in their early forties to a couple of people in their thirties to a couple of people in her early fifties and in a few people that are in their sixties and seventies but it is way more swayed to the younger generation now than the older generation. I have other agendas with our tournament than moving it to a later date. I just want modernization to our weigh stations to start. I also would like to cut back on weight stations. Have one at Barcelona, one at Cattaraugus, and one at the club. I feel we don't need a weigh station at SBH or Sturgeon point. Both are within 15 minutes or less from the club. Buy a couple of laptops and printers for the weigh stations and email weights into the club every night. That will mean we need less volunteers to run weigh stations less volunteers to run weigh slips back to the clubs. The whole system and set up would run so much more efficiently.

    Jim, where can I join STWA and enter STWT? Club house? Other option?

    At the club house, our next meeting is early this month because of the tournament. It is Thursday the 8th of June. They are also doing sign ups at the club on frday june 9th untill 8 pm. It's $35.00 for dues, $35 for the tournament. Both are mandatory if your joining the tournament. Then there is an optional $30.00 Calcutta for June 10 ,11, and 17th that pays the top 3 fish of each day. Then an optional $5.00 money prize, they draw names for $500.00 lots till the money is gone. So everything included is $105.00. It is a great tournament to fish for every weather your a novice or a professional. It won't break the bank and there is no pressure, and the awards picnic is a great time. The dates will probably never change and I'm good with that.

    First there is other tournaments on the lake in early july that our tournament would interfere with. Second we have plenty of big native fish to catch this time of the year. Third the 8,9,10,11,and occasional 12 lb fish caught during the Southtowns Walleye Tournament are not our main source of breeding fish. The viable breeders are the 20 to 25 inch fish (4-6lbs). The older fish are not very fertile by the time they hit the 9-10 pound range. Fourth, if you want the dates changed for the tournament next year we are in need of a tournament director for next year. Then you can go to your tournament committee and propose a date change. I for one think this is a great start to the summer fishing season.
