Don - if you want to just pre-pay entry fees for all the tournaments, i'll send you detailed instructions on how to find all the lakes and a calendar for all of our tuesday events.

wabasis doesn't need another tournament on it, it gets destroyed as it is. glad to see it's improving however.

Improving?  I was not aware of that, I have not fished it in a few years.  Have the weights went up?

seems like more big fish have been weighed according to the scuttlebutt. i typically only fish it way early before tournament season and stay away from the insanity after that. I did fish one of the gander tournaments with a neighbor as a sub last season and the fishing seemed to be better. lots of little fish, but lots of bites.... seems like maybe they had a couple good year classes.

on the other hand, i still wouldn't call it "good" yet.

Better idea you spot me 5 lbs on the lakes you don't know and I will just not show up on Bass, Tamarack, and BPI......  :-*

The North Division will be the South Division's baby sisters step-cousin in 2012....I'm not saying that it has the Rolling Stones Super-Star Power of the North but between the lakes being 100 times better & having an Ultra-Uber Director Stanleys Super Slueth South is just So Fresh & So Clean, Clean....

JK - you'll need to probably expand that payout chart over 25 boats for Stanley's Super South Div!  I took the liberty of jotting down a few of our outcomes but please keep in mind that these are very Conservative predictions simply based on my knowledge of the level of coolness I achieve as it pertains to such a humble individual :P

06.04.12 @ Morrison Lake (Probably 1st/1st but a 2nd & Big Bass at minimum....)

06.11.12 @ Reeds Lake (Top 3 & another Big Bass for sure - shallow-water tactician Matt Dyer will grab this one if there are any number of spawners still around....if the off-shore bite is at all a factor 1st = Mast's)

06.18.12 @ Morrison Lake (A Definite Winner.....Jig, Crank, and a Shaky will be the deal to take the Top Spot for this 21 Boat Field - leaving without at least $350 isn't acceptable!)

06.25.12 @ Gun Lake (Hard to say but a Top 3 sounds accurate - Stanley & Rawlings will be chucking their square-bills but Topwater Smallies will be the ticket...)

07.09.12 @ Jordan Lake (Boycotting Jordan for 2012 - Aaron & Randy may as well just take this one by default)

07.16.12 @ Reeds Lake (This one may be up for grabs between Team Uncle Ed, Duane/Chance, Masts, Team NEO, or maybe even some guy and his son.....)

07.23.12 @ Duncan Lake (All depends on the water levels but any finish outside of 1st or the Top 1 will be consider a failure...)

07.30.12 @ Gun Lake (2K Jigs Wrecking Ball in BRW/ORG will snatch the 3.9 lb Smallie which will most likely secure Big Bass....they'll be sitting in the same place Don left them last year at the One on One National Champ. which is located on or near a hard bottom area in 1-28 feet of water near or adjacent to a point or hump with sparse weed patches and within 250 yards or less of smallish rock piles)

08.06.12 @ Jordan Lake (Duane & Chance may dance on the Midwest's most over-fished water.....5-fish for 9.5 lbs will be truimphant!)

08.13.12 @ TBD (anywhere other than Thornapple and the RAM Little Horn in Blueberry Acid Shad will have me "cranking & banking"!)

08.20.12 @ Reeds Lake ("Mr. You-catch-five-lber" may see someone on the winning spot and jump it just in time to pull off an upset of epic portions but if not expect the Mast's to have nothing less than their usual 17-19 lb East GR Summer Sacks....)

We went to a 3 fish limit on Wabasis last year.  Marc and I had several bags over 9 lbs, and Rich Hale had one bag of nearly 10 lbs.  3 fish, 10 lbs... I'd say that's pretty good fishing.
