Are holes pre-drilled or can you fish the whole lake?

We don't pre drill. You are allowed to fish within sight of the bridge and fish in ice houses.

Surprised that the rule NO VEHICLES ON THE ICE AFTER 1130!! didn't get enforced this year. Especially pissed me off because the chick that got 2nd place walleye drove out right next to us at 1145 and started drilling holes and still had their vehicle on when the tournament started. Not to mention the other two vehicles did the same thing and fished within 30 yards of us. Last year they had people going around telling everyone to get their vehicles off. I won't be fishing that tournament anymore.

We had too many people arguing with volunteers last year when they tried to get people off the lake last year. People were asked when they got their tickets to pull off the ice or to at least park outside the area people were fishing when they were done setting up.

BCWF has always done a great job in the events they have sponsored, however the rules sheet clearly states bolded and underlined NO VEHICLES OF ANY KIND ON ICE AFTER 11:30am … so if I was a fisherperson and/or my first time at the event I would be pissed if there was vehicles out there after that time…people get funny when it comes to tournaments….

he said 9 so i assumed more than 3 perch were brought in or some such thing

There were some perch and a walleye brought in that didn't place.

The Ash... she is so very fickle.

First time I fished the Broken Oar tournament. No set up before noon. Drive by the place on my way to work and seen at least a dozen houses set up. That tournament is a shit show but the rules meeting/door prizes are pretty fun. One of these years I'll get to go to it again.

Looks like the Knutson's really kicked butt in the tournament.
