Detroit River Open Predictions

[Genie]

Ok - apparently the field is starting to grow and the buzz is out that this will be an AWESOME tournament.  I can't wait to donate my money to see some monster fish brought ot the scales.   

From what I can tell now, weather will be partly cloudy in AM and sunny in PM, 82/65 for temps, wind SE 5-10.  I'm sure that will change - this is Michigan after all.

What are some predictions on what it will take to win and which water way the winning sack will come from (St Clair River, St Clair, Detroit River, Erie, etc.)?

22 TO WIN 19 TO GET A CHECK.  Theres mine

[Team houston]

Are they still using St. Jeans to launch?

[Genie]

Yes - St Jean's is the official launch/check-in site. 

[Dan]

Is there a Google or Map Quest set of directions to St. Jeans?

[MadWags]

From east or west on I-94:
Exit at exit 220B (Conner St. - City Airport Exit).
Go south on Conner for approx 2.5 miles to Clairpointe (just south of Jefferson Ave.).
Stay right on Clairpointe (continue south) for .3 miles to Freud St.
Turn right on Freud, go west for .5 miles to St. Jean.
Turn left on St. Jean, go south to boat launc

closer to 24lbs to win but 18 something to check.

Thanks for the directions Wags

24.75 is what I weighed yesterday in 2 hours of prefishing. If my fish do not move or shrink than Squid's prediction will pan out.

You can only weigh in 5 not 12!

MadWags,

24.75 ? You must have been sandbagging on Sunday with your 20.70

That was the most expensive 2nd place plaque I've ever received.

WIth the way it has been recently, let's put a new spin on the betting game.  How about who will run the farthest and how far will it be?

I say someone will run over 80 miles.

[jcox7]

80 miles one way ill be close

24.75 if madwags catches those he should win

[jcox7]

Just a reminder if you are fishing the FLW TOUR event you can not participate in this event unless your partner is also in the tour event if you do you will be dqed and you will lose your 800 bucks co and to much boater money to mention

80 miles one way ill be close

Ohio is closed for another week, right?

[dashaver63]

Ohio opens June 30th.

[Genie]

I hope everyone is safe and has fun no matter how far they go or what they catch.  I know I plan on having a blast!!

See some of you tomorrow - good luck ... for 2nd that is ...  

[MadWags]

Don't worry about me. My fish moved.
I have to change my game plan or pray for my fish to show up. The east wind mudded my area.
I caught maybe 17 tonight.
See you at the weigh-in.
I met some big sticks at the ramp tonight.

[Dan]

My money is on Madwags. Fished the DK Open with him and the guy can catch fish! Good luck to all. I'm envious.

[MadWags]

Sorry guys. only weighed 16.17
Had a great time though.
First time I ever carried a bag of fish through a carnival (fair).
Jason and I fished well. We only lost one fish that would have improved our limit.
Had a limit by 10:00am. Saw lots of big fish but could not get them to bite.
Our big fish spot gave up a limit early but the size was not there.
Mike Trombly put a huge bag of river fish together that went 21.55 beating out the 21.35 second place team.
Awesome tournament.

Well it is a good thing you didn't fish the Bassin Bums & Babes Tournament this past Sunday.  Team MadWags captured another first place finish with some impressive patterns.  Rattle trap, jerk bait, drop shot. . . And did I mention none of our keepers came on tubes.  All you guys dragging tubes should speed it up. 

Thanks Tournament winner and Contractor Extrodinar.
You Partner,
