Help Preserve Our Launch
Powerloading (Loading your boat by forcefully driving it onto your trailer) causes loose material to be displaced from beneath the ramp weakening it and creating underwater hills that can damage the hull and propeller of other boats.
If you're by yourself and need a hand getting your boat onto your trailer; ask for help. Anglers tend to be rather social beings, It shouldn't be to hard to find someone willing to lend a hand.

If you see someone powerloading; explain (politely - it doesn't need to come to fisticuffs.) how they are contributing to the ruination of our boat launch by doing so, and help them if possible to load their boat the proper and safe way.
Award Ceremony Raffle
Join us after the contest wraps up Sunday at 11am and help us congratulate this years winners.

They won't be the only ones getting stuff though! Bring along your valid contest ticket and you'll be entered in the raffle to win an assortment of prizes from our sponsors.



Every Fish Counts
That one pound Steal head may not land you in the top spots of the leaderboard or win you a fabulous prize, but weighting it in still helps the DNR gain pertinent information about our lake's ecosystem, and can alert them to population fluctuations, or other potential problems ahead of time.
Taking The Lead
Peter Day the first OnShore contestant through the line Saturday morning set the bar high for the competition, Beating out last years' OnShore front runner by over 6 1/2 pounds!
Don't you other OnShore contestants get too discouraged though. Remember: records were made to be broken, and competition breeds excellence!
