Mardon had it's annual Dock tournament this weekend and the crappie fishing was pretty good. Many keepers were caught and the winner was just over a pound. When I left there were no Trout or Catfish on the board. The biggest Bass was just over 5lbs. Someone had a 7lb walleye. But other than that fishing was really slow. The brand new dock was nice but the habitat needs time to regrow. A pretty relaxing time since we stayed in the cottages. A good end to the summer of fishing lakes for me.

Sounds like fun BS...I love the Potholes! I Lost an approx 10# R/B there this year...still debating whether or not to go back in Oct and get it! Is the new dock as big as the old one?

The dock is about2/3 the size of the old one, but is much nicer. The breakwalls put into place make it enjoyable to fish all day, if you can stand the wind. I remember days on that dock that I thought I wasn't going to make it back to shore. They say the October November bite is incredible, if you can stand the weather.
