Winter Escape, March 7th 2009
June 6th Fishing and supper at Crow Rock Resort Saturday evening.
June 7th Breakfast at Crow Rock Resort and head for home port.
Last on year Escape had a semi-serious fishing contest. Due to west winds at 70 km Friday night and Saturday morning June 5th it was impossible for many Canadians to get out of Northern Harbor Marina safely Saturday morning. As a result, no Canadians participating in the fishing contest. A fish fry was scheduled for Sunday afternoon after breakfast at Crow Rock Resort. That idea was voted down by Escape members because most members had no fish and they were more interested in getting back to their home port and back home for work on Monday.
The registration fee for Spring Escape will be $20.00 per boat. Saturday evening meal cost to be paid directly to the resort. The meal option will be the same as last year, prime rib or walleye dinner.
This year Spring Escape will try a new approach to the fishing contest. We will Start the Semi Serious Fishing Contest a day earlier on Friday. Fishing contest hours will be from 12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Friday. There will be a fish fry at anchor in Queen Island anchorage Friday evening. Escape members who did not make it to Escape on Friday will have an opportunity to fish in the contest continuing on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
The fishing contest area is not far from Crow Rock Resort or Queen Island Anchorage. Fishing area is marked out in green.
Remember there are two winners in the Escape Semi Serious Fishing Contest. The longest walleye caught and the shortest walleye caught over Friday and Saturday until Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Trophy’s will be awarded Saturday night after supper at Crow Rock Resort.
In case you forgot, Russ Warne won the trophy for the longest walleye last spring at18” and Al Halfaker won the trophy for the shortest walleye at 11.5” Russ will attempt to defend his title next spring.
