I spoke to the president of SEMBA this past weekend. Dave Harmon stated that they were not holding a tourney this year due to membership issues within the club. I know that there is a Fishers of Men tourney that weekend on Belleville.
I hate not starting my MI season on Belleville, that event has been good to me in past years.

I've never fished Bellville Lake.

How is the fishery there?

Do you fish the west end or the east end?

Typical fall chunker. I cuaght 6-7 this size the day after the guys from south street had there classic last year, I think it was the TNT guys. I also do well in the heat of summer at night with a black spinner bait under the lights and over the edges of all the boat ramps

General rule of thumb for me out on Belleville is Largemouth on the weedy west end near Rawsonville and smallmouth on the east end off of the rocky sea walls and channel swings. Although, you can catch em both all over...

houston - I don't know how often bigjc (the TD - John Carter) checks the boards here - the events are on the calendar here I believe and he posted some information in the other tournaments board below.

You may want to email him at BIGJC77@aol.com and ask your questions.
