We are making our 5th tournament an Open on Portage Chain in Pickney, MI
The date will be 9-18. The cost will be $100 per team. We will meet at the pizza place to register and wait for the launch to open and then launch from the state launch at roughly 8 am. tournament will be 8 hours.
Im working on additional prize packages to give away but so far we have swag from:
Nemesis Baits
Wonderland Marine
Huron Valley Bass
Saginaw Bay Bed Busters
Please come out and join us and see what we are about. High Payouts and Big fish. Im hoping to grow this division into a big group over the next couple years so give us a try.
McCarter himself :-\'
I'll be there and will have something from Optimum Baits/Ima/Zappu/Deps/Reins to give away! (only after the tournament though as we would like a chance to win :D)
Duane
If there are no soccer games for my son, maybe he and I will come out and fish. Hey McCarter, if we show up will you have my two shirts one long sleeve and one short sleeve in a XXL on hand?? The seasons almost over and I am still waiting................... :-\'
BD :-\' ;D
Duane,
Will see about Optimum give aways, I will make the final call, don't act like you have pull. :P
Brian,
I would be more than happy to give some optimum product away.
Some guy somewhere told me that this ROI Nemesis Elite ordeal is stepping up onto big water in 2011 with big sponsors and big payouts....................
Its not like lakes like Pontiac aren't big draw tournament waters or anything, I mean you can catch like 10 lbs. of bass on Pontiac when the big ones are biting!!!!!!! But this guy said that there is this lake near Detroit where the Bass eat cheerios if you move them fast enough.........Forget what it's called but I do remeber this guy saying something about smallmouth and best fishery in the world - man was that guy crazy!
The best all-around bass fishery in the world near Detroit............if this lake this guy somewhere existed it sure would be cool to live nearby!!!
Luke, you're always good for a grin. Will be looking for you tomorrow at weigh-in.
just a bump to get this tournament back into your minds. come on out this saturday.
hey luke, if you want to see a big turn out on pontiac lake, get the east side a $2500 trolling motor/gps package to giveaway next year. i bet we will draw a few more boats :-*
McCarter himself :-\'
See ya at portage and at Kent tonight
McCarter,
Sorry Luke isn't the one that pulled the Minn Kota deal together. I did that for the Camp & Cruise series.
no need to apologize chad. just pull the same deal for my 8 boat trail over here.
McCarter himself :-\'
McCarter we will have something nice and impressive for you to give away in 2011 - the stars have seemed to line up the last 3 weeks for the Michigan tournament scene.
Anglers will continue to see ROI bring them greater ROI every season (shamless but to easy not to go with! :D)
2010 was tough for me because I decided it would be cool to take from April to September off - now that baller status has once again returned to the fraternal halls of ROI the Cash Flow will start flooding in like Israelites to the Land of milk of honey. We'll find a few $2500 giveaways even if we have to go over to Taiwan or Japan to pick it up!
In closing I think if we all just cut back on the Pride tacos, have a nice plate of Humility vegetable medley and then wash it all down with some Grace soup everything will just continue to get better and better - it works miracles if you try it enough...........
What a nicely run event! This is my first time fishing ROI. Portage Lake and the connecting lakes are quite a fishery. My partner Dave Willson (two L's) and I had a good day of fishing. We just fished Portage as it's 12-13 years since I fished this lake We lost lots of fish (doesn't everybody say that?), but none of that would have put us in the money. 18+ lbs to win on in Inland chain.... WOW!!!!
Vic
who won who had 18 lbs details we need details
Well... maybe lets just not go there on the forum though...?? Especially on a thread about an unrelated tournament please?!?
Jeff Elliot and Aaron Cash took first with 18 lbs 15 oz i think it was. it was something crazy like that. they also had big bass with a 5 plus.
Ron Foley and Dave Wilson had 2nd with high 14s
3rd place was Derrek Cummins and his partner with high 13s if memory serves.
we had 15 boats total. gave away some nice prizes.
I want to thank Wonderland Marine West for a very generous donation. And thanks also to Duane Bethke and John Lytle from Tournament Ready Tackle.
We also gave out some bags of Nemesis Hand Poured Goodness. Oh, and thanks to Kev for helping. He has the full results. he may or may not post them. i think he only posts them when we win ::) Also, he caught all of our fish. i was just another pretty face Saturday.
Thanks to everyone who came out.
We didnt have any big draws this year but we were able to pay 90% back at the ramp. The other 10% and the membership fees went towards our Team of the Year Prize money and towards our classic.
Team of the Year gets $500 cash just for fishing and being the highest point finishers for the best 4 tournaments fished.
We also have an extra $150 to put towards our Classic. Tho we only have 3 boats fishing in it, they will be fishing for $450. not bad for a 3 boat tournament.
If we get a better following next season, we could being paying back a lot of money. its amazing what you can do when there arent multiple hands in the cookie jar.
2011 Schedule will be released soon. Im thinking we are gonna have to cap it at 50 boats so make sure you get your $10 membership fees in ASAP :D

Isn't having fun doing what we enjoy a great concept - it seems to be catching on quite quickly around these parts.....McCarter you are the man even though you only let me take 5 of the New Perch Gobies you had in the Nemesis Labs the other day. Thanks Wonderland Marine West, Tournament Ready Tackle, Nemesis Global Worldwide, and other supporters of tournaments that focus on fun while looking after only the anglers checking accounts.
Nemesis Global Worldwide is the next Berkley - IPO and prospectus should be released soon so start saving those benjamins so you can get McCarter Holdings & NGW Stock before it doubles...........
Kev can you get me the results when you get a chance so I can post them on ROIOUTDOORS.com?
