Title: DK Open Tournament Registration
Post by: Revtro on August 22, 2006, 11:34:20 AM
Ok guys and gals.  Dan has set the date and location. 

Saturday 9/23/06 at Wixom Lake - the MDNR ramp on the Tobacco.

So how about we register so that he can make sure we have enough boaters.

I'm in as a boater.

Dan, I hope it's ok that I took the initiative on this.  Just trying to help.  ;D

I'm in as a nonboater so will carpool with someone if they want a rider to share expenses. Give me a hollar.

I'm in as a non-boater. Don't need a ride or place to stay

I'm in as a non-boater. 

Way back when, Josh Clark said that he'd be in.  I don't know if he's still out of town on his "tourney trail" or not. 

He and I talked about carpooling, maybe we can hook up with you too Bill?

Fished with Josh last night.  We talked about it, so funny you should bring it up :)

Think he said, "that's the plan."  But it is 4 weeks from now.  Pretty sure he'll go!

I'm in.  I can go boater or non-boater.  It makes no difference to me.  Maybe this can help even the numbers out!

As Shaner said... the plan is right now to fish as a boater, but if you know me... 4 weeks is like 4 years from now.
I hate making plans.
Kind of a free bird... if you will...

Thanks Rev - I take all the help I can get!

I'm in as a boater too. I'll put together a list this Sunday after the BFL so I can make sure we'll have enough boaters and nonboaters to match up. I posted one campground I have stayed at before on the other thread if anyone needs that info.

I hope we get a number of those Saginaw area 'young guns' to come too and put us on the big ones!?!

I'm reading people being a non boater, my wife and I can fish as a team, right?

Last year we did a draw format so everyone could meet someone new. I was planning on the same format this year - seems the majority overall likes it that way.

What about an option to fish with your wife or girlfriend.  My wife loves to fish, but is not comfortable fishing with others.  I am sure a lot of "better halfs" are that way.

Just a thought!

Post by: spinninbug on August 25, 2006, 12:03:53 PM
I'm thinking about coming over for the tourney,  if I do it will be as a non boater.  When I know for sure I will let you know for certain.  But I would really like to.  Husband is bear hunting that weekend so I might as well fish right?  I think it will be a blast.

I'm planning to fish it, as a boater.

 a draw tornament is find by me.
hoping that i didn't start anything w/mentioning of girlfriend comiing up. she don't do tournaments. just a thought if she was interested in traveling w/me. she'd go shopping or something while i was on the water. but w/2 days on the water w/tournaments and gone most of the day, probably not appealing for her to go. boys must be boys for their fixes.

 i've been blessed to 'fish my bass off' that weekend.
another boater here.

Post by: djkimmel on August 28, 2006, 12:32:13 PM
Great! I was just making the format clear for everyone. You can bring whomever you want and he/she can do whatever they want... but sometimes... you do just have to 'fish your bass off'... ;D

I will be there as a boater.  I can swing by and pick Bill up.  Although last time we were supposed to ride together, i slept in a little too long.

We should probably have several phone numbers to call... and a couple large, loud alarm clocks to give you before... I just got another idea...

If there are any non-boaters looking for a ride up to Wixom (the morning of) let me know. I will be coming from the Lansing area.

How far is this lake for Holland. It sounds like too much fun to miss.
Title: Re: DK Open Tournament Registration
Post by: djkimmel on September 08, 2006, 10:21:26 PM
It's a pretty far piece, but a fun lake to fish - a river-run reservoir with two different rivers blocked by one dam. A tannic-stained to clear smaller side in the Tobocca River and the bigger stained to clear farmland draining Titabawassee River.

Lots of wood, stumps and weeds. Miles and miles of it. Several bridges. Humps. A few rocks. Some toad smallies and largemouths.

Wixom Lake is in Gladwin County right at the Midland county line on M-30 North of Sanford and US 10. The dam is in Edenville, Michigan.

All those lakes on the Titabawassee River system are big bass lakes.

It's approximately 161 miles from Holland, but we'd love to have you there. There's a campground close by if you want to stay the night before. Some anglers are doing that.

Looks like i wont be able to fish as a boater.  My boat is in baaaaaaad shape.  Actually, my motor is in baaaaaad shape.  Thought i blew a head gasket ( which i did ) but once we took it apart, we realized that i had a spliit piston.  I am going to be shore fishing for some time. 

Maybe we can have another tournament.  How about the DK Shore Fishing League? 

If we look good on boaters i will come up as a non boater.

Post by: joshimoto son on September 11, 2006, 04:35:29 PM
I verified today with Fiker50 that I will be in as a boater.

Dan,

Maybe one of those Polling type threads we can vote on.

I'll add it all up and make a list tonight/tomorrow night and post a count. I have to work late tomorrow night, so I may not post it until Wednesday night.

I can't come :(.  It was supposed to be my weekend off and the boss asked me to work for him.  So I have to work.  I so wanted to come too.  I can only hope you do this again next year and I can come then.

Yeah mean ole boss :( and the worst part is I probably won't even make any money.  I will however expect you all will report on how much fun you guys had and who got the silly prizes for being the goofiest and all the fun stuff that I missed right?
Title: Re: DK Open Tournament Registration
Post by: stackenem on September 18, 2006, 05:30:00 AM
I am not going to be able to fish on Sat due to my wife making plans and not telling me till the last minute. Oh well I got to do alot of fishing this summer so I better let her have her weekend.
