Mobridge Ice Fishing Tournament 2013

Some Cool Photos of Ice Fishing while sponsoring the 12th Annual Mobridge Ice Fishing Tournament on Lake Oahe, South Dakota.  Folks this is one of the best run tournaments I have ever been involved with; 500 teams leave the start in 23 minutes, weigh-in has 3 lanes and 3 scales, live leader board and a live video feed at a separate location. 

While on the road we met folks in Valentine Nebraska and fished some of the sandhill ponds, the fish were happy to see our hooks.  This is a fishing community and the folks at Motel Raine had a place to clean our fish inside how sweet is that.

What an opportunity to to enjoy a sport.  Jim T and I went to Mobridge, SD to sponsor the ice tournament.  We got to meet some great folks and share in the fishing and learn a little about this wonderful area and community.  We also had time to harvest a bunch of walleyes while we weathered a mild SD storm with 20+ winds and temps in the single digits.  Of course we fished the PK spoons and the 3/8 oz. FF in glow colors as well as gold produced well for us.
