It's big water, big fish, and big fun this year for the EBA.
At our meeting on March 13th, we set the schedule. Here it is:
April 25 (Opener) - St. Clair, Ballard Ramp
May 9 - St. Clair, Ballard Ramp
June 27 - Det. River/St. Clair, St. Jean Ramp
July 11 - Erie, Erie Metropark
August 1 - St. Clair River, Marine City Ramp (DNR)
August 22 - Erie, Erie Metropark
September 12 - St. Clair - Ballard Ramp or St. Jean Ramp
thank you tom
Nice Job :-) This schedule almost makes me more happy than getting a new Loomis..... lol
Don ;)
Quick update since I could not attend the meeting:
the June 27 date at St. Jean is the same time as the NBAA Detroit open out of the same ramp. I think it would be unwise to plan launching from there.
Jack
Hi Jack! We really missed ya yesterday. Wasn't the same without ya. Maybe we should just change ramps then or pick an earlier date. Ideas?

I think NBAA does not have their act together on the Det River open. The guys on LSCN net think it is on the 20th.

NBAA does not have it at all that I could find on their web page. They do have a double-barrel on the 27th out of Harley.
??? ???
I spoke with Jack from NBAA, and the Detroit Open is the 20th at St. Jeans. It is going to be US waters only since Canada doesn't open until the 27th.
Great Job on the dates guys! I am on vacation for our 1rst outing on the 25th and my days off fall exactly on May 9th, August 1rst and September 12th since all our days off are pre-scheduled a year in advance by a letter system (A thru F) Don't ask sometimes I cant figure it out lol. Gonna check the vacation board for the other dates and let you all know 2morrow! Also all ready got approved for a vacation day for the DK Open on the 25th ;D.
I think the DK open is the 15th, but I could be mistaken...
I mean the 16th

Yes, the DK is May 16, so our event 1 week prior will be a nice prefish for it.
Jack, thanks for clarifying the NBAA deal. Looks like our schedule is ok as Tom originally posted! This is going to be a great year!!!!
Seth
yeap langer ur right 16th was to darn tired when typing the post
I'm glad we were finally able to get together and set the dates and lakes but I wish we could have had more discussion on it beforehand. As it is, most of the dates work for me but I still would have liked to have Kent or Cass on the schedule as an early season lake.
Only about 2 weeks before we can get out and catch some pike or crappie. ;D Still ice in the canal behind the St. Clair Shores library.
It was nice seeing everyone again and meeting the new guy. (Sorry I don't remember your name)
Mark
Mark...I'm really close to Kent...and would also like to "learn the lake" a bit better. I'd be happy to meet you there on just about any non-event evening or morning till schools out. Let me know...willing to learn.
Thanks
I like the schedule since I don't get out to Saint Clair enough.
If you guys ever want to hit Kent or any other Livingston county lakes let me know and we can head out there. Or check out the Tuesday night KLBA opens.
I'll have the whole summer off. I'll fish with anybody, anywhere, just about anytime.
:)
;D ;D ;D This is ;D ;D ;D going to be ;D ;D ;D a great year !!!
Nice work fellas ........
Hopefully some of you guys need a non-boater. I am pretty sure I can make all of them as long as I have a boat to fish in. Sorry I couldn't get to the meeting. School is rough at this time of the year. If any of you guys are close to me, it would be great to get a ride out there so send me a PM so I can give you my contact info.
Where u at?
I may meet up with you guys on the 25th if that is alright....I don't think I have anything going on that weekend....

Long time no talk boys...unfortunately I probably wont be able to make the first event because I'll still be down at college, don't have gear or anything so hopefully i'll see you guys at the next one. Have fun

I won't be at the one coming up in April, but should be able to make a few of these this year for sure. I am geeked that it will be Erie or St. Clair mostly! That's cool!

Still waiting to hear from someone. If it's possible, I would like try and get a ride out there still. I will pay for some of the gas for the truck and boat if someone is still willing to take me. I can meet you at your house as well. I really want to get out there, but if I can't get a ride out there, I won't be able to make it. Please let me know!
I live just west of Northville...Salem Twp actually. I can't make the date Saturday...but would be happy to hook up another time.
PM me...and we can be in touch.
