I spent a sunny & breezy afternoon on WIDE OPEN Pickerel Lake today.  When the wind died down the water was crystal clear to about 7 feet. Vegetation all over the place. No evidence of fish whatsoever...no bites, no ripples, not a single baitfish was sighted. It was still a gorgeous day to be on the water.

No issues at all. We're like peas & carrots again.

| Due to lack of participation, Im on my heels, I was hoping this wouldnt happen but it is.. Guys, I dont have time to call each and everyone of you, I thought I would form a club so you guys can fish, The turnout is terrible, Do you know what I have to do every tourny, its to the point that I dont want to bother, I have plenty I can fish, I will be holding the first 3 tournys,,, if the turnouts are just as bad, I will cancel the year,, Like I said This is bad,,, I thought if I formed a club with seperate boaters and non boaters,, I would have a great trail, but its not lookin good, what I should do is have a team trail ( I didnt want to do that) but it means if you wanted to fish,, you would have to find your own partner,, whether it be a boater or non boater,, for every tourny,, I thought I would be fighting off people for the first tourny,, its a joke,,, if anybody wants to fish next weekend, let me know, ASAP,,, When I first made calls for this tourny,,, I had 12 boaters and 10 non boaters,, now its fizzing out,, I am down to 6 boaters and 5 non boaters,, and a couple boaters are iffy, due to family and boat issues |

Hi!
Not surprised!
It's the economy -> Prices going up on everything, and most everyone is having to tighten their belts, especially those with famlies

Hi!
Yeap Kira!
Not to sound like a prophet of gloom.
But it's going to get worse sooner than you think -> So kids get ready to tighten up on your pantyhose

Now I feel like a douche I got caught up in ice fishing and forgot to call or pm back.
I have a horrible memory like to where i lose track of what i have done in the last day!
Since I am SOL I would like to say good luck to all who participate and hopefully now that warm weather is coming and many waters are open / opening the out come will be better then it is seeming right now.

Hey, Flippy! Would you please clarify the "No pre-fishing" rule for me? I'm new to the tournament thing. Is there a set period of time before a tournament date during which you're not allowed on the lake? Is it too late for me to check out Pickerel Lake? I've never been there. . . .
