Event 9 - Rice Lake - 9/6/2018

Well boys and girl, it's with great sadness I write my next to last post for the year. Tomorrow night it will all come to an end, as we fish on the Whitefish Chain from 4:00-8:00. We will fish out of the West Shore Drive landing on Cross Lake, so don't be an idiot and put in on Lower Hay...if you do, besides being an idiot, you must be deaf and blind too. Being dumb goes without saying.

So, last Thursday we were on Rice Lake, and I must say we've never seen so many weeds. I blame the water skiing group that put on a few shows this summer. I think they stirred up some long dormant seeds or something, because the weeds were fricken rediculas. There were some nice fish caught though, and they looked healthy, so the fishery must be in pretty good shape.

As far as the points go, Simon and Paul are making a late surge, winning the last two weeks on Rice and North Fucking Long by a fairly wide margin. I think it's going to be too little too late though, because they are 29 points behind Steve and Brandon, who, along with their "in your face asshole" shirts proclaiming their first place standing, may be too far ahead to choke it away. But having said that, not too far back hiding in the weeds are last years winners Mark and Luther, who are 13.5 points behind. Is that a big enough lead to hold them off? I don't know if it is or not, but as I write this, we'll know in 24 hours.

I hope everyone can show up tomorrow night for our last event, because we've missed those of you who haven't made it the past couple of weeks. You never know, this may be your last best chance to fish soft water this year. A week from tonight it's going to be considerably colder, so get up off the couch, tell the ole spouse you're going fishing and you'll be back when you're back. That should work out just fine. See you tomorrow on the chain. Maybe after we're done we'll go to Moonlite or someplace and get hammered.

PS: I adjusted the points from the fuck up on North Fucking Long, so hopefully they are correct now.
