Use the same contact information or post here to volunteer as a boater to take 2 kids fishing during the event.
Is Anthony our POC for this???
Umm... I'm not sure...
But he is the co-youth director along with Jack Cahn. Jack... you out there?
Anthony is just now recovering from his annual winter plague (I'm not kidding).
Please. Please help out by volunteering as a boater to take two kids out fishing this day. We will need over 20 boaters this year.
If you can help out, please post here or contact me (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/fishing/contact.html) so we know where we are at.
Thanks so much!! I know the kids (our future!!) will thank you!!
I'm in, as a boater. Need some more info on the event though. Parking boats should not be an issue, as we are going out of a private launch.
I have a youngster that I thought was signed up in a club, but has not received any info. Thanks.
I have it on my schedule to be a boater that day....
Unfortunate that this is the same day as the Benefit for the Troops. I want to do both! I'll be doing the Troop Benefit though. Sorry Dan. I really wanted to help out on this one.
B
I will also be at the troop benefit
The Troop Benefit is going to hurt the amount of Available boaters for sure...I committed to the TBF Jr first so that is what I am going to stick with, but I would like to do both also.....
I only live 15 mins from Neppesing(I have never been on the water though) If you need any help with coordination let me know....
Our event has been scheduled for some time and won't change, so all I can do is try to get the kids enough boaters - at least 20 - so they can go fishing. The kids are our future and that is my priority for that day.
Thanks motocross269 and 5alive for helping out. I will also be a boater volunteer.
See the updated information event information at the top of this thread for full information.
e-mail not working?
youth@michigantbf.com
Sorry - we finally got the web site wrinkles out, so now the email addresses have to be set up again with the new host. The email addresses were messed up because of the partially switched over site. I meant to put up a post last weekend letting everyone know.
Updated Info: If you need any help finding the house or on the way in that morning, this is the number for our host Kevin Moore: 810-664-4128.
We could use a 2 or 3 more boats.
You can launch at the MDNR ramp if ou want. There is plenty of parking at the private ramp, but it may take a little bit to launch everyone if we aren't all there early enough.
If launching at the state ramp, shoot straight across the lake very left a little - look for the big grass hill and tents we are putting up Friday evening. There's 300' of sea wall to park along. Thanks to everyone who chooses to make a difference!
