chris.brock Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 North Pigeon Lake. Every year the Minden volunteer Fire Dept., has a derby to raise money. It's alot of fun. I really enjoy the small town events around Minden like the demolition derby, the ice car racing and the ATV Mud Bog competition to name a few. Really friendly people. Getting stuff organized the night before. I was riding over before the sun came up to secure our spot on the lake, there's another group that also likes this spot. Lots of soft snow and slush on the lake for the 140 that came out. We only had 2 bites all morning. My Dad missed a fish after I caught this 3.2 lber. The prizes and draws etc, in the slush Lots of great prizes donated by local companies I took third place and a new Rapala power auger. You'll likely see it soon in the classified section because we already have a solid auger. Another fun day up in cottage country. Me, my Dad and his friend Ed.

pidge Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nice stuff man congrats on the third place. Never fished Pidgeon ever, but that looks like a good tourney. Is it reasonable to walk out or is a snow machine required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.brock Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Good one!!! How big was the 1st place fish? And what did he chose to haul home? 1st was 3.6lbs, $500 prize 2nd was 3.5lbs, $300 I choose the auger over a $200 cash prize I talked to the CO a few years ago and he said the odd 10 lber is caught out of N. Pigeon Edited February 27, 2013 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
