Minnewaska, Reno & Ice Golf

[LandDr]

The panfish bite is still strong on Minnewaska!  More people spending their time on the north side on the way to the Minnewaska House.  Getting some nice crappies as well.  Still a few people out on Crappie Town out from DNR landing.

Really good crappie bite up on Reno from about 5 to 8 pm on crappie minnows.

Hunts Resort had a great "Ice Golf" tournament this weekend...5th annual I believe!  Allota fun and you need to put it on your calendar for next year.  Team Crappie Flop took 2nd place (myself, Johnny B from Crappie Masters and Rob from Hunts Resort).  I even holed the 1st Hole-in-one in the tournament history!  There were team snow angels after that one went in.  It was a 14 hole course with all the hazzards you could imagine.  End of Hole 7 went into Torgy's for a warmer-upper and then tee box 8 went on back to Hunt's Resort.

Mark your calendar and get signed up...Crappie Masters national event on Minnewaska April 26th.  Go to www.crappiemasters.net for more info and to get your team signed up.  More info to follow!

Finally the ice is off the lake and the water is back!

The panfish bite was incredible right up to the last days of ice.  Limits were easy to come by.

The bite has not stopped...limits are already being caught in Torgy's Bay from shore or boat.  Most are fishing from shore with the rediculous weather.

Anything from waxies to crappie minnows and doesn't seem to matter what jig or hook to throw at them...they are putting on the feed bag.

The Crappie Master tournament was postponed to this coming weekend May 3rd.  There is a gauranteed $12,000 payout with first place being $5,000 from what I understand.  Entery fee is only $200 per boat along with a potential $25 membership fee and $10 big fish entery.

So far the number of boats entered has been slow but it is expected to pick up as everyone now knows that they won't have to bring their ice augers and portables for the tourney.

Boat numbers will still be low...if you ever wanted to be in a "high potential for winning something" tournament...THIS IS THE ONE!!  The crappie bite is already HOT...even your grandma could catch crappies. (maybe she aleady out fishes you anyway??)

The seminar for the tournament is Friday night at the Minnewaska House.  The late fee has been waved to just show up!

I actually hope none of you show up because I plan on winning this thing.  Rumor has it that I can only catch small crappies but I going to dunk alot of minnows trying...there has to be a couple of dumb ones out there even for me.   

Any questions...give an email, call, drive over, passenger pigeon or send some smoke signals.
