remember that while you paid for the event or are coming up to play on the Hobies, still have to pay at the gate, so bring some $$$ for that. If you get in early before the kiosk is open. use the box to pay. Less we have to have them chasing around us the better....

I'm also working on a discount for day entry and camping.

Lots of registrations are coming in now, including last years champ, Sue Vang. This year it's a bit different with 3 separate categories - Bass, Panfish and Trout. You can only choose one category to enter but you can fish for all and decide at afternoon check-in. So a bit of strategy may come into play, maybe a little dock talk Also it's very possible to find a huge school of crappie while fishing for trout or start catching browns on a jerk bait trying to catch bass. You never know. That's the great thing about this lake, it has a lot of great species that eat everything in the spring!

Hope to see yall out there on the 28nd.  ~ Mike

I would lean towards the box wrench.    Any pics of fish caught on your lure creations ?

 Here’s a Santa Jig I caught a 28” Ling on to win the virtual holiday tournament couple years ago.
That won me 4 lbs of smoked Salmon! THANKS Raydon 😊

That's awesome! Santa riding the Branson RoadKill Swimbait! I'm stealimng that photo 

Registrations are rolling in. We’ve got a great warming trend which should set up the lake for prime fishing. Ive heard a couple trout plants are planned before the event.

I’m also working on a discounted camping option at Greenhorn for those who want to stay n launch from there site.  Stay tuned for that.

Since we’re providing all the food on Sat - Tri tip, hamburgers n hotdogs, salads, chips, waters and kid drinks, beer, etc.  I’d like to do a potluck Fri night with everyone. I’ll start that thread next week sometime.

Good stuff PIF crew. Rest up Ben and I hope you feel better soon, that flu has been a real ass kicker for so many.

Hey Folks, Rollins Lake Round Registration is open. Hope to see you all there. I’m headed to KY Lake for KBF Nationals but I’ll do my best to answer any questions. ~Mike

I have the Elite 4 Chirp with GPS... I've had it around 2 years, but just this past weekend started having issues with it.  It would turn on and none of the buttons were working.  I would unplug from the battery and plug back in and it would work for a bit then shut off.  I'm gonna clean all the plugs better and check my connections, but up to this point I've liked it on the kayak.   If I can't get it working right, I'll probably just get another of the same since I liked it.  I would get one with a gps.  It's been handy to mark structure, fish, crab traps and helped when at Albion one time when the fog rolled in thick and we couldn't see the coast anymore.  my 2 cents. 

Definitely check your battery too. Sounds like a low voltage issue. These units act real weird with a bad connection or dying battery.

Mike (sledge) posted up this photo awhile back. I really like it and stole it hoping to mess with the color, detail, bla bla at a later point. Anyway I worked on it a few weeks ago and thought I'd post it. I'm just missing the salt. I think some will recognize the bridge. Mike

Hobie is offering free replacements:

That's nice they've addressed the issue but you still need to order it through a store, wait for it, go pick it up and do or wait for all the maintenance. Nah, I decided to rather spend $25 and 2 days later, unscrew old and replace with new. Not dealing with the otw hassle and never have to worry about it again seemed like a better option to me. Eliminate the problem before it is a problem my dad always said.
