Is fishing on these docks ok during non-tournament hours ? About a 3-1/2 drive for me.  Was thinking about a 3-day trip or so. Trying to talk wife into short fishing vacation.

Papa,

          Not sure if this will help you now or not but I believe you can fish the docks this time of year. I know I have during the day and have never been bothered. Maybe someone else can chime in. I think I may have a chance to make it this weekend after 2 years of trying.

Roger and I are planning to be there Saturday.

Papa I know there has been people that have fished till just after dark before. Boats are out unless they got a special permit. Dave posted about it in the general discussion section. Last weekend I just stayed away from the boats that were there. See everyone tomorrow

[Evinrude58]

So any word yet on whether next Saturday will be in the evening?

[linebacker43]

Pleasure meeting all of you this past weekend. Had a blast and it was nice to put some faces with some screen names. Thanks for making a new guy feel welcome. Hope to be at as many tourney's as I can this winter. Thanks again!

What is the word on the 17th is it still in the morning or evening?

[Glayve]

Possibly a very stupid question but are bobbers ok as long as it's straight down from the dock? I'm guessing minnows are alright as it states live bait is allowed. I have not yet ice fished but I'd like to get into it and frankly this looks like fun for my husband and I.

[Evinrude58]

Yes bobbers are allowed, in fact the crappie winner last week was using a bobber. Just an fyi you would want to use a slip bobber as the water under the docks is mainly 20 feet to 25 feet deep.

[Glayve]

Slip bobbers are no problem, thank you very much for clarifying, looks like we'll be seeing you this saturday if you are there!

[Glayve]

It was awesome meeting everyone today! Had a blast! Took me an hour to fillet all those damn fish too haha.

[quackpot]

Glad you had a great time. If you get in the mood to try out the ice let me know. I may have a old shanty for you. Sorry you don't get my vex for the ice. HaHa

[Glayve]

I'll certainly post on here if I decide I want to try ice fishing this year. I'm leaning towards it so we shall see

[quackpot]

I have a surplus of items I can fix you up with. No comments from everyone, haha
