Hey guys. Rules are up and so is the main raffle prize. As boat items come in I'll post. This thing will be decked out!

Mods please sticky this event at the top. Thanks!

Awesome kayak!  Thanks for all your doing.

Stickied to the top!

Thanks Pat!

Attached is event and camping map and logo which i'll put up next week. Registration link will also be up next week. Day of registration is also available.

Question was purposed to me... what are your thoughts..

"Can we add Catfish to the mix? Rollins has some good catfish and can be caught in many of the crappie locations. No live bait but manufactured dough baits be ok?" What's your guys thoughts on this?

Me - Maybe keeping it as a 3 fish limit but adding a forth species could be an option. Catfish can be large and a single fish like that within a full 3 fish limit could secure a winning bag no matter. hmmmm. Looking to make this event fun yet challenging for those multi species enthusiasts like myself. Mike

I am in either way. Thank you Rider for the info about live bait.

Live bait is illegal at Rollins.

So I am fine with Catfish but does this mean we can use other types of bait?

Also is it 3 fish of one single species or 3 fish one from each species???

Thought I'd be that guy.

I have a question about my Hawg Trough.   30 inches is just way to long for Crappie, Spots and trout.   
I'm going to cut out sections 10 through 16.  It will store better in the yak.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

Make the cuts VERY straight.

If it's artificials-only, then I'd leave out catfish. But if we're allowed to use bait, then yes add them.
When Rider says no live bait allowed at Rollins, I assume he means no minnows. But live crawlers, mealworms, crickets should be fine. Especially if you want an 18" crappie!

Just buy another smaller, cheaper trough instead of hacksawing your hog trough!
...unless you are trying to cheat. In which case, a 12" crappie will now appear to be 18" long!

Also it illegal to catch bluegill and use them for bait.

If they add catfish they will include manufactured catfish dough baits.
One of each species.  Total inches from a 3 fish limit.

The entry has also changed, lowered to $25 pre and $35 day of.

If I were you I wouldn't cut it. I've seen a few big cats close to 30" come out of that lake. Plus that lake has browns, not saying you'll get a brown 30" but there are some big ones.
