Title: Great TBF of Michigan Meeting at the Novi Show - THANKS!
Post by: djkimmel on January 14, 2007, 11:46:11 PM
We had a great meeting at the Novi Ultimate Fishing Show Saturday morning - THANKS to every who attended - about 60 anglers listened to David Simmons FLW/TBF Programs Manager and Pat Kleppert of Ranger Boats talk about the support, present and future for The Bass Federation of Michigan.

We also heard briefly from Anthony Wright - Michigan BFL Tournament Director and met new TBF of Michigan sponsor to be Bob Luellen of Worldwide Marine Underwriters.

There'll be a full report on the meeting after the Novi show is over and I'm back home for a few days, but we picked up 2 clubs at the meeting and additional members in some of the existing clubs. We gave out information so far to 7 or 8 more clubs or new clubs too.

Just a reminder - our 1-day state championship is open to all members for 2007 - scheduled for Sunday, July 8, 2007 on Lake St. Clair out of Metro Beach. Clubs determine who are boaters and who are nonboaters - clubs must send an even number of boaters and nonboaters. The format is draw. Entry fee is $100.

The 13 angler state team from this event will fish their divisional this year in September out of Sandusky Bay, Ohio on Lake Erie.

Remember the divisional involves 7 or so states - lots of schedules to work around.
