IceBreaker Results

March 31, 2022 John Ringenbach

Last year Mother Nature smiled on the IceBreaker outing with sunny, calm 70 degree weather, this year she had more of a frown. Greeting 30 + degree temperatures, strong northwest winds and snow, 28 anglers braved the conditions at Piedmont lake to hopefully catch some prespawn giants. Even though Mother Nature may have frowned, not all muskie were in such a funk with 9 fish being caught and a few more lost at the boat.

The winner of the event was David White with a fat 48″ giant but his was not the only Huskie caught. Rich Daniels netted a 45.75″ muskie, Steve Skebe a 45.25″ , and Donald Gutshall a 42″ Huskie. Additional fish caught were George Keyser 38″, Jessie Wolford 38″, Rick Canastrano 30″ and David White also caught a 31″ and 33″.

A really big thank you for Chad Harmon and Tim Smith running the tournament and to all those brave souls who came out on a tough day.

Our next event will be the May Madness on May 14th at Salt Fork. This one day tournament will be the longest fish wins the tournament with two side pools, a $5 big fish pool and a $35 Total Points pool. Look for more information in late April.

David’s winning fish!

The first OHMC event of 2022 will be the Icebreaker at Piedmont on Saturday, March 26^th. If all goes well, we will not actually have to break ice to get to open water. This time of year is prime for giants staging for the spawn. This one-day tournament is a big fish tournament with the winner catching the longest fish of the day.

The event will begin at 7:30 am on Saturday and concludes at 5 pm. The winning fish must be at least 30 inches or greater. The 1^st place winner and any ties will receive trophies at our 2023 Banquet. All fish must be turned into the Tournament Director by 5:30 pm at the Piedmont Marina parking lot. Once registered, you can launch at the Marina or at Reynolds road.

The campground at Piedmont will be open for those who want to make a weekend of the event. The bathroom, shower room and laundry are open year-round. There may or may not be water directly to a campsite, we will not know until closer to the event. Here is the site to make a reservation:
