Watched the POKER RUN head back from Hastings as I missed them when the first came through. There were some spectacular boats and it was an amazing site to see from so close in the water. The waves were pretty intense when you have boats with 4 and 5 motors go by. I remember one boat that had 4 - 300 HP Merc Outboards on the back, not to mention the 20+ people on the boat.

Thanks for sharing Dirk! You did any fishing after they were blasting around?

Thanks for sharing

Here is that boat with the 4 - 300 HP Mercury's on the back, man was it sweet. Reminded me of a saltwater boat down in Florida.

No fishing after they blasted by, but I did get in about 3 hours of fishing total. Posted a report in the Southeast section.

Thats awesome, how is Rice lake have the weeds gone down? need to plan a trip there again soon.

[diggyj]

The weeds have gone down a lot but there are still spots where they are quite heavy. Spots that were covered are now wide open, revealing the sand/rock bottoms.
