First off I would like to invite all the fishing forums that receive this notice, to come on out and represent your forum board at the 2nd annual inter-board challenge and first annual Augersports competition.... to be held at Miners Bay on Gull Lake in the minden area on Saturday March 28th,2009. Registration begins at 7:00am (a map with directions will be posted in this thread soon) The INTERBOARD CHALLENGE is a 2nd annual event which is primarily a fishing tourney with board bragging rites and a trophy (donated by The Kawartha Anglers site last season) at stake.....and is open to board members their friends and families the tourney will be broken up into two categories again this year the under twelve years of age and the over twelve years of age.... the fish must be taken by legal angling methods slot fish (lake trout) must be immediately released and will not count species included will be lake trout, whitefish,herring and ling The Tourney will begin at the completion of the AUGERSPORTS COMPETITION which which we will do first thing in the morning while the competitor's are feeling strong and raring to go ..... there will be several divisions available for those of you who would like to compete these divisions will be : 4",6" and 8" hand augers (one hole drilled to completion best times win) 8" ,9" and 10" power augers and you will be put into your class based on horsepower for a stock auger (3 holes drilled to completion best times win) modified open class Augers (these can be nitro/top fuel Bored out cylinders or any increased horsepower beauty you would like to dream up and bring along) This division will depend on the interest of the participants.... we would also like to include chisels as a class in this years event....so if you have one and would like to try out your technique against other forum members please sign up for this event....... we will also be considering an old time ice block sawing competition in future events and possibly electric augers just something to keep in mind If you would like to join in one of the hand or gas auger classes or chisel events please PM me or rather be or Island jay so we can get idea of how many heats we will be holding....... As with last year we hope the many people who donated some time/food/cooking skills/tables/prizes/trophies/name-tags/garbage cans/washroom facilities/and ice hut rentals (gull Lake hut rentals by HotDave) will consider helping out again...this year it was a group effort last year that made this day such a success.... I hope to see as many of you as possible coming out to represent your forums at this years event.... we will do our best to answer any questions you may have and if you know of a board that needs an invite please feel free to spread the invite around... keep on drillin Auger

Salvelinus namaycush Posts: 1,092 Group: Admins Member #11 Joined: Jan 31, 2008	Yes the fishing can be great on Gull. I used to put a hut out at the other end you can pick up 10lb+ lakers with the average abut 2-3lbs 2-12lb ling and some decent white fish lots of smaller trout as it is stocked on occasion. As auger said its an easy walk out lots of sleds use the lake so there is packed trails to walk on. Bring a few rippled 1/2+1/2s [williams] 3" works well, and the smaller size for whites white tubes also work very well.

Salvelinus namaycush Posts: 1,092 Group: Admins Member #11 Joined: Jan 31, 2008	I hope the day went well as I did not make it. The culvert in my drive collapsed [I knew it was bad but had hoped it would last until I had more time to fix it] It took us from 7 am until 4 pm to replace it. I had help from Routanne as he was with me to attend the tourny. I told him to go on ahead as the suv made it over the culvert only the one tire dropped in but he said I needed his help more than he needed to fish, many many thanks to him and my wifes boy who also came over to help after I put out a . We did it with a pick and shovels so it was slow going, dam frost, dam boulders, dam culvert At least we already had a lunch made and it wasn't . I am sorry I missed it as I was looking forward to attending.
