Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Ladies and Gentlemen,

     It is that time of year again when our thoughts turn to striping last year's line, organizing tackle, purchasing new licenses, attending all the local boat and fishing shows and of course the most important activity is getting prepared to qualify and fish the Michigan Bass Invitational (MBI) for 2011. As you're all aware, the Oakland County Bass Anglers came out on top at Lake St Clair last year and will be the hosting club for this year's tournament. One of the responsibilities of being the hosting club is to put together the annual MBI, pre-season meeting in the Spring of each year. This year's meeting will be held in the archery room upstairs at the Auburn Hills Bass Pro Shop. The date will be March 8th at 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
     Derrek Zdeb will be the Tournament Director for the actual MBI contest. During this meeting we will be going over the By-Laws, identifying new clubs that wish to participate, operational costs and logistics of this year's tournament. As you know the O.C.B.A. elected to hold this year's MBI on Cass Lake. We will be launching out of the State launch. During our meeting, I'd like to discuss the time line for this tournament and the tournament off-limits. Please bring a checkbook to the meeting if you are ready to pay in March. Checks will be made out to Jeff Rudd.
     If you have any questions and / or concerns regarding this year's tournament, then please bring them to the meeting. I would also be more than happy to address issues you may have beforehand. Just send them to me via email and or phone and I will try and resolve them myself or make sure they are brought up at the meeting. Once again, on behalf of the Oakland County Bass Anglers, I'd to offer my sincere thanks for your time and cooperation in regards to the meeting and I look forward to seeing all of you again.
