Hit the bay sunday, things aren't as far along as I suspected earlier this spring.  With the upcoming weather and moon cycle, opening weekend should be insane!  Rember, today is the last day to post mark your entry to avoid the $10 late fee.  Flier and rules on saginawbaybass.com

Got out yesterday, still a little chilly on the main lake.  This weeks weather should hold them off as well, it's setting up to be a great opener!  Got one that went 6lbs 1oz, that fish could be worth at least $700 with our $500 big bass and our 6lb option pot that is at $200.

How did your tournament go? I fished the Top Bass on Saturday out of Bay Port and it took 25# and change to win. My sack of 21#  put me in the middle of the pack. I couldn't make the team tourneys on Sat. and Sunday but checking the weather out on radar,it looked like it must have been tough conditions out there.

Sochocki's won with 22 and change.  Weather was good on Monday, but Sunday's winds blew a lot of fish out.  Should be great this weekend with the full moon, lots of fresh fish!  Registration starts around 5 at the AuGres DNR river mouth ramp.  See you Saturday!

After looking at the schedule, it looks like we will be postponing our tournament until the fall.  Everthing right now is TBD will post up once I know.
