Tournament rules question. What are the launching points? Are we all leaving from the bait store or the odor lot? Or can we drive to the north end of long and the south end of north? Just want clarification. Thank you.

It may be 5” in the immediate area where you are but at least two people have posted now about finding areas with only 3” to 3 ½”  on Long Lake and I personally know of two other people that have found those or similar areas.  Please do not get people overconfident.  Those without firsthand knowledge of the ice on Long Lake specifically where they are planning on going need to be very careful with the warm temps, sun and wind combined.

Just came off long lake the ice that was there is holding up well,5-6 inches clear. But as we all know THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SAFE ICE!! I got similar reports from the guys coming off north reservoir. There are some areas of 3-3.5 so we must use common sense and be careful. The tournament will proceed as scheduled,good luck and see you in the am.

We were planning on coming but ius being new to the sport just don't feel comfortable going out there. Was hoping to make them all, but we'll shoot for the next one if we get some more ice!

What a day for a tournament 50+ degrees and the ice is gonna hold up nicely and allow us to finish the day, but I do feel the winds of change blowing! Thanks to all who joined us and good luck!

I agree he has a really nice shop and if I get back up that way I will definitely stop there.
