Obviously you're there , but are there any first day results online ? Dad said guys were buying minnows like crazy when he was at the coop getting fuel Thursday. How's the bite otherwise ?

I fished tournaments on the north, south and sk. trail for about 25 years and I would say probably 90% of the anglers are lindy rigging or pulling bouncers. Their are always exceptions and depending on the body of water and time of year there are always some that will be jigging or slip bobbing.

What ever works eh. Always seems to take a while for newer strategies to take hold here.

The water this derby is on, is fished this way by 99% of the anglers all summer. In general, I would say it is the most common way to catch walleyes. When people mention Tobin Lake, many are actually referring to the river that flows into Tobin.
