for anyone that wants to come out but is boatless, i have a canoe i can lend out for the day, no paddles or life jackets but thats the easy stuff to come up with. i'll probably have it for sale around then too if any one is interested..... it definately has character but it does float and doesn't leak

since it looks like there are gonna be a few people that have never been out to the miss i also just wanted to point something out that most people new to the lake (and a lot of morons that use it on a weekly basis) aren't aware of. from the launch to the bridge is a no wake zone with a posted speed of i believe 10kmh, so if you could, wait until you hit the bridge to open the motor up, all of us locals would be very pleased.... thanks

Got the OK from the wife to go, anyone with a boat need or want a partner?
Alrighty, consider me confirmed with my boat, and I claim non-boater Matcolecat as my fishing partner. Denis, PM sent bud.

I will cut and paste the update that I made in the origional post. I do the same thing... look at the last post and never again at the first one.

-- -------


Here is what we are doing:

- $15 per person.
- No limit as to how many people can fish in a boat.
- Everyone in the boat must be in the derby.

- Biggest bass OR walleye wins.

After talking with some guys that know the lake, they agree that the biggest bass that gets pulled out of that lake would be as big as the biggest walleye that can be found there. So, rather than dilute the prize pool to keep it interesting... biggest fish wins.

Pay out as follows;

- 1st place gets 60%, 2nd gets 25%, 3rd gets 15%.

- Registration starts at 8am and trickle start at 9am

- Everyone must be back at town dock area by 3:30 if you wish to weigh in a fish.

Weigh in at the dock by... RJ!. The same scale will be used to keep it fair.
- No dead fish can be weighed in. Period.

Post event dinner at 5pm for prizes and chat at Busters Bar and Grill on HWY 7. Lots of parking for boats and decent food.

Thanks for all your help RJ!!

The simplest way fro Ottawa ...... highway 7 pass by highway 29 intersection, go over the train bridge to the first set of lights, Mississippi rd, turn right and follow all the way to Lake ave .... turn left and your basically there.
Don't forget there is a launch fee of $7.00 and it is STRICTLY ENFORCED !!!!!!

*Thanks Bear*

Any other questions?

Post them here!

Thanks Bear.

Yep he's right...don't feel strange as you are driving on that road that you turn left on as you are driving through a housing sub-division....that is the right way.

Prize packs are looking good!
