There are loopholes in all rules. These rules are in place to ensure that our tournament is fished with honesty and integrity. Your reputation is on the line. Our pike fishing community is small. Use common sense and there won’t be any problems. Remember this is an invitational. If there is a perception of deception you will not be invited back.
Please call Curt 350-3845 or Mike 595-7776 with any questions.
The Ice situation is a difficult one. There will be “Joe Public” out fishing. Be respectful to others. We will hear about people being disrespectful. GF&P will be out. Driving on public shorelines is illegal and you will get a ticket. Don’t ruin it for the future years of the Pikemasters. Be respectful when driving through the Spring Creek and Cow Creek areas – people live here including us. Please obey traffic laws. Don’t be an idiot we will hear about it.
Willie and Greg would like to thank the volunteers for their support of the Pikemasters Tournament!
