The 2017 MadWags Memorial East Members Tournament for this Saturday, May 6th has been CANCELED due to small craft advisory in effect today through Sunday morning for Lake St. Clair.
I am rescheduling the event for Saturday, May 20 in hopes that most of you can still make that date? Please see the new post created shortly to announce your status for the new date.
I'd like to take Detroit1 Mark... I need to get him out on a bassboat, as he has asked me a couple times. Let me ask him.

Hey Dan, talked Tcook into the trip with me. Ok to have him fish in my boat??
Sorry Dan, forgot to confirm. SteveR and I are definitely in unless the monsoons hit! Can't wait!
I'll fish with BigJC. Not sure who will be the boater yet.

Okay, I've listed you as the boater for now. Just let me know if that changes.
Well, I've updated the lists. Won't be a difficult draw this year at moment! Thanks! Hoping for good weather and no big surprises from everyone planning to make it. See you there!

Does yukonjack2 know that?
We can use some tables and chairs. I will bring 2 tables so maybe chairs are more needed?
i have three tables and a few chairs i'll bring
I don't normally do this, but this year I will have a non-boater already joining me. SgtMike (Mike Seibly) will be fishing with me.

Not a problem. I'll update the list.
Dan, I will be a last minute guy... I lost all my electrical this last weekend up north. Im working with Skeeter to get me back up and running. No bilge pumps, graphs or anything else that needs power ... and yes I have the keys...

Dan I regret to say SteveR and I can no longer make it due to work schedule conflict we hadn't counted on that I found out about this morning. Good Luck everyone, be safe and have fun!
Cmack and I will be there fishing together. Charlie as boater me as boatless bank trash.
Sure wish it would warm up a bit. We are going to be there way before the stuff gets good.
As of now I don't have a trolling motor. I hope I don't have to cancel at the last minute. The weather looks horrible all week and the wind is going to blow. Clair might be a muddy mess by Saturday. 😩

Well... let me know. You can always come as a non-boater if you can't get the boat working in time. We'll have enough boaters if no one else cancels.

C'mon - you aren't boatless boat trash! Glad to have you join us. The bass are starting to bite. It might be better than we expect! I have my fingers crossed! Maybe if we all do that??

I still have you on the list with a question mark? If you don't make it does that mean Tdroulliard won't be coming either?
As far as the weather... that's Michigan for you but the bass gotta do what they gotta do. They'll be biting in some places, and hopefully all of us will find some! Cross your fingers that the rain misses us as it has in other years.
The canals are full of Largemouth. I will have a flipping stick ready to go.
Good plan! Always a good idea to have a Plan A, Plan B, maybe Plan C, even Plan D! :)
I know it's only Tuesday but looks like we may need Plan X
.SATURDAY...NORTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS.
MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH RAIN LIKELY. WAVES 1 TO 3 FEET.
ANy chance to push this back a week?

? Other weather sources are saying only a 20% chance of rain, more likely in the evening. If the wind is more out of the west the Mile Roads might be okay. I'm hoping it ends up as westerly as possible. If they issue small craft advisories that will definitely be a problem.

Right now, Saturday, May 13 is calling for rain and ENE wind. It could be worse conditions if the wind increases. Not sure how much things are going to improve, and the weather could be worse. I know there were issues with both weekends for people being able to make it or not make it.
At this point, I would probably call the event off if the weather this Saturday gets too unsafe. If the vast majority of the participants want to switch to Saturday, May 13 despite the weather forecast I would consider it, though I know I will lose some people.
If the winds are westerly the roads will be fishable. I see the issue being the weather leading up to the dk open. At this point I'm sure the lake is very muddy and the winds and rivers will Likley keep it that way.
I can do either day. Lets wait till at least Thursday or Fri to get a clearer picture. Worst case scenario we have a pizza party and raid Mikes homemade lures. :D :D :D
I'm out Thursday and Thursday night is going to destroy the lake. 20-30 mph NE winds and 2 inches of rain. This is the most frustrating spring that I can remember. This will be the 4th trip to st Clair that I have cancelled on. Hopefully the forecast improves for you guys.
Looks like the next week is windy every day. The fish will be there to spawn the full moon is next week.. They don't care if it is windy. At least they won't get beat up this year. Waiting until Thursday is a good idea. We could always do an inland lake.
Windfinder has the winds at 26 to 37 mph, out of the ENE, with some precipitation all day.

Are you talking about this Saturday? Everything says the winds will be NNW?
This is the 353 pm noaa update. If that's true you won't be able to get out of Harley Safely.
SATURDAY...NORTH WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS.
MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH LIGHT SHOWERS LIKELY. WAVES 1 TO 3 FEET.
I'm out. I have too far of a drive for those odds.
I can do a later date if it happens. Otherwise, good luck and post pics.
I'm leaning towards out also. Too far to drive. If just one day looked bad I'd still prolly come up for a few days. But I don't see much light at the end of the tunnel. Still have fingers crossed.
How about the 20th ? It gets away from Mothers day and gives plenty of time to get better. I know we will lose people but we may gain some too.
I'm open for a date change as well..... It's not looking like as much fun as it could be.
Next Wednesday looks great. Luckily I have that day off.
20th would work for me also. Gonna be hard to see them this weekend.
I'm open with a date change, most weekends work for me.
date change will work for me, having new jack plate installed sat. morning
HEY NEED TO CANCEL CANT MAKE IT SAT.SORRY EVERYONE BE SAFE!! MIKBALLA.
The 20th sounds better to me too. With McFish not going now, I'd have to drive there and back alone. Plus, the weather doesn't sound all that great. At this point, I would probably back out for this Saturday as well.
I'll look at everything tomorrow early afternoon and make a decision. Thanks.
Here is the rain forecast for our area. They will be releasing the sewage into the Clinton. Going to be a mess. I still plan on going if it happens.

You could potentially be the first angler in history to catch them under poop mats. Get out 1oz tungsten LMAO!
Please re schedule... :(
Glad the Gale Warnings are Friday night. North wind at Harley is going to be Hazardous.
I agree Re-Schedule. Most likely I will be out for any future date. Have fun all. Post photos.
FRIDAY NIGHT...NORTH WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 35 KNOT
GALES DIMINISHING TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS AFTER

EVENING. MOSTLY CLOUDY. A CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWERS IN THE MORNING...
THEN LIGHT SHOWERS LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A CHANCE OF

Another vote for reschedule. This spring SUCKS!

Ditto. Even though Jack can't make the 20th and I'd have to find another boater, getting beat up and soggy pizza doesn't seem appealing
I can Likley make it if rescheduled for next week or the following. Could probably get a couple more guys as well.
I'm out for this Saturday. I have to get my trolling motor fixed. I vote to reschedule. This spring has been awful😡
I don't know what will happen with this but I am moving the event to Saturday, May 20th at the same ramp and time. Here is the reason I really have no choice but to cancel or move:
"LAKE ST CLAIR-342 PM EDT THU MAY 4 2017
...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING..."
I will not ask or risk people going out in a sponsored event with small craft advisory in effect.
I will need everyone to repost their availability in the new post I am creating so we are starting back at zero basically. Can someone possibly take over the pizza order assignment?
I'm in non boater on board with Tritonbasser.

Okay. Thanks. I have you down. I'm assuming that means the both you and Tritonbasser are signing up for the rescheduled May 20 event? Thanks for joining!
Everyone else, please don't post on this thread anymore. Please use the new signup thread for the May 20 rescheduled event! Thanks!
Yes for the 20th, sorry about that..
No problem. Just didn't want to assume.
