Title: Middle Straights Lake Sept 28th??
Post by: dartag on September 19, 2013, 12:16:46 PM
Anyone up for fishing on the 28th.  Not the pressure of the Drop Shot Classic last week.  That was intense.  Just fun fishing with no entry fee and anything goes.   The lake is no wake until 11:00 I think.

well, i don't think i'll make it on the 28th, but on the 29th there is a 1 vs 1 at middle straights that i want to fish $25 with payback on $20 worth the other $5 goes to Breanne Strange she has a disorder called Distoria, which leaves her unable to care for herself. Her family could really use some help in buying proper equipment to care for her.

I'm with ya all

Sat I'll have to work, But could do Sunday
So Bob post a link or some thing

I don't know Breanne Strange
But i've seen that the 5th Annual Frosty Nuts Open/Fishing is donating money for her as well
Nov. 3rd at Kent

$120 (includes $20 Big Bass)
5 fish limit
Single or 2 person team
East Boat Ramp
85% payback (15% of every entry will be donated to Breanne Strange and her family to help with costs fot her care)...
Tackle prizes/apparel prizes/bonus money prizes

This is the 5th year i am hosting this event. The only thing different this time around is I will be using this tournament to raise some money for a great girl and family who could use our help. Most of you ( if not all of you) know Matt and Jeff Fisher. Their cousin Breanne Strange has a disorder called Distoria, which leaves her unable to care for herself. Her family could really use some help in buying proper equipment to care for her.

here is a link to an article, explaining Bre and her familys situation

If we're talking Sunday I'm totally in.  But if it's for that 1 on 1, that probably doesn't allow 2 on a boat does it?

This sounds like a good cause and a fun short tournament. 

I've never fished this lake, do you need any special pass to launch here?
Title: Re: Middle Straights Lake Sept 28th??
Post by: YpsiBass on September 26, 2013, 12:20:26 PM
No special pass required.  If you don't have a trailer though you have to park around the corner at the actual park rather than the launch.

14 anglers showed up.  Big fish was 2lb 11oz smallmouth, Eetz weighed in a 2lb 6oz largemouth and I had a 2lb 3oz largemouth. 

The most notable thing about the day was around 9:30, Bob got his frog rod out and it started raining...

Kidding aside, I was in Bob's Basscat and we caught all our fish on topwater.  A couple pike launched clear out of the water for us too.  And one really scary big one decided to eat my buzzbait right at the boat.  I've said it before and I'll say it again: if I have to fish in the rain, I'm glad Bob was the guy in the boat with me.

well thanks Rick, as it turned out i didn't need my bibs (i should find these asap) just the jacket.

Got to give a shout out to Mike Ray,  Brandi ( hope I spelled it right and his group ) for putting it on.  A portion of the money goes to help a family that needs it.  Next week is Saturday on Maceday.  Fish from 8-12 weigh 1 fish.  25.00 entry winner take all.

A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

That sounds about right.
