I was just wondering if we are having the spring Madwags tourney? I know you are extremely busy DK, that's why I am asking. I hope we are!!
I'm sure we will Mike. I sure hope so. I signed up a lot of people because of it. LOL
Sign me up. Non-boater! :D :D
Me too, non boater......unless my Monte Carlo floats.
Put Saturday, May 10th down in the calendar for the 2014 Spring MadWags Memorial. I just need to format the post and post it. Might have to wait until early March right after Outdoorama but that is the date I want to stick to being consistent with the past few seasons.
I may ask some people to help out getting with advertisers, sponsors and others who want to donate some prizes. And probably ask VinceR if I can ride along with him again?? so I can preload some coffee... ;D
May 10th could end up being a bad date for me, this year. My youngest graduates from MSU this spring, and her Commencement date is the weekend before (4th). Since my eldest daughter is flying up from Florida, she wants to do a family trip up North (the following weekend) while she's here.
So, for right now, it doesn't look too promising for me to make it (sorry Dan), but it could change. I may try to convince the Fam to do the trip during the week following Commencement so that I'm free to fish the following weekend.
Count me in for at a boater, may have a couple more coming
Count me in as a non-boater as well!
I figured it would be that weekend, and took it off a month ago.
I like to stick with a consistent schedule if possible. I don't like losing my driving buddy...?? But I bet if I move it to the next weekend I'll mess up some other people too... we are all too busy. :)
I have to work that weekend....Again... :(......... I do understand trying to schedule around everyone.....Pretty much impossible...
If I could think of a way for us to fish together BUT on the days we can actually each fish individually, I would be popular ;D I just haven't figured out yet how to do that?!? No one else has either though... so that carrot is still out there waiting for someone to grab it!! :D
I'm in as a non-boater.
Don't count me out yet, Dan. Looks like I should be able to pull it off, after all. I REALLY want to fish this, so you can count me in as a boater.
Thanks fellow members AND Vince!!! You're Mr. Dependable!! (and... you can keep secrets!!! A bonus! :D)
Count me in for boater again this year unless my new boat hasn't come in yet then I will be a non boater.
Boater
Boater and bringing my sister-in-law and nephew as usual!
In as Boater.
Non boater
i'm in as a Boater, if the ice is gone
sounds like a good time count me in as a boater.i have extra room dan if it dosent work out with vincer.
Count me in as a non-boater again.
I am in as a non boater if there are any spaces left.
We'll make space. I'll get the official post up after this last big outdoor show - the Ultimate Sport Show in Grand Rapids next week. I think the only show I'm at after that is one day at Randy's D & R Sports Center spring fishing show.
There will still be plenty of meetings I don't doubt but not too many multi-day events though I was just told TBF is having their conservation directors meet at the National Championship in Tulsa and I don't have that on my schedule. SNAFU somewhere...
Have you ever thought about making this a biggest fish event. It would be a lot less work for you at the end of the day.
I might have to change mine to boater this year...
I'm in as a boater this year and am bringing along my little brother for his first trip to LSC and my cousin so I will have a full boat already. Looking forward to it again this year!

Congratulations - right?!?
IF it all works out. If I get time to test the boat before . I will be coming down, with the boat for the event this year. Not sure if MA will be coming or not. That will end up being a last minute decision for her. If she doesn't, I will have an open back seat for someone. If you smoke , you are welcome on the boat.
word on the net is two more weeks of ice fishing ::) our Mad Wags Saturday might end up being too early, if the temps don't pick very soon
I was "on" LSC yesterday, literally. Talked to several ice fishermen. Still 2" of ice out there. A little slushy on the top. Needs to warm up fast.
2" inches or 2' feet
in non boater.
I would like to be in as a non boater.
I'd like to be in as a non-boater if there is room.
Dan when are you going to get a list together? Where can I get one of those golden rule bump boards. I'm in as a boater plus I should have one person with me.
Yeah guess I'm in as a boater this year, but pair me with someone who knows the lake (and maybe boats too lol).
I think Mojo will have to be a boater this year. There seems to be a lot more non boaters this year and he can probably accommodate 5 non boaters with his pontoon boat. LOL
cant make it this year :(. Will be in the Bahamas...

Can you imagine running into a pre spawn group up shallow with 5 guys yelling fish on!!!! What a hoot!
And don't think i Haven't had it cross my mind!
I think it would be great! You probably would win with five guys on your pontoon boat.

I will be fishing this year. Count me in as a boater (and for a ride, Dan).

Take all the matches and lighters away from the kids and shut off power to the entire city. There, issue solved. See you at the ramp!

Are you sure it's not your pontoon boat with a bass boat wrap on it?
Where do you guys launch at for the tourney?

Something something cracker...
I'm going to have to back out this year, because of other commitments during weekends in May. In related news if anyone wants to see me play Pontius Pilate in "Jesus Christ Superstar" at Circle Theatre in GR, it's going to be a great show. :)

Hold up, so I have to fish with treble hooks and no certified medical assistance an site??? This could be bad. If I promise not to bleed all over your boat after you dislodge a lipless crank out of my hand will you show up?
Hahahahaha I wish it were that simple. Besides you didn't bleed all over my boat, just more than Bob Allen did the day before. :D lololol
It won't be the same without you Jeff. Call in sick for 3 days.
Jeff....... Swap a mothers day, or fathers day with someone to cover you bro..... We need you, your part of this ? !

Didn't you just get a boat? If I'm taking my new-to-me boat out, so should you!
Yeah I just got a new one. I live quite a ways up north. I know most of the guys with boats are from around that area. I don't really know LSC that well. Been out there on my old boat only a couple of times. Let me know if that's still ok..
Coop - you could try to get someone in your boat that knows the lake well. Mojo will be a non boater and I'm sure he good show you a good time :-)
I'm not going to drive my boat down to LSC. I would love to partake in the event, but again, if that's a problem then someone let me know and I will make other plans.

It's never a problem. I was just giving you a hard time. Maybe you'll get partnered up with me and we'll do up LSC newbie style.
Lol.. Ok cool. I just hope were blessed with some good weather that weekend.
Yeah. Do what you need to do to make it there. That's the main idea. We'll figure out boats and non-boats. All that stuff always works out somehow (magic?).
I have the official post up so probably later tonight I will be ripping the shred out of this thread to move whatever the various last status posts for each participant are and moving them into that thread for people who don't want to repost. Just a warning...
we have to cancel for sat. due to a death in the family
Dan, work just changed my schedule.....need a boater?
Putting you down as a boater in the main thread. We still need a couple of boaters.
