This is a paper tournament - catch, measure & release.*
IMPORTANT: Each boat will need a Largemouth Bass Weighmaster Golden Rule designed for catch and release with weight conversion based on length.2
Format is draw tournament with boater and nonboater fishing as a team. 5 biggest bass between the two or three team members will be counted to determine finish.
*Biggest non-bass fish brought in to weigh wins the coveted BIG UGLY prize! Fish must be in season and legally caught to count.
1Please note:
Family members may be able to fish together. Please contact me directly by PM (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=1), phone 810-433-BASS (2277) or email (http://glbass.com/contact) to arrange this. I would prefer family members 18 and older be a registered member of GreatLakesBass.com. I will not request that for family members under 18 and prefer not to have family members under 13 register due to federal privacy regulations. If you have a family member that wants to fish but not be a member, please contact me privately prior to the event. Youth 17 years or younger must be participating with a parent or legal guardian. Exceptions to this will need to be discussed with me in advance. Use the contact information above please. Thank you.
2 If you don't have the correct paper tournament Weighmaster Golden Rule board (available from Gator) you can use a regular board. Measure the bass based on the farthest line the tail touches or goes over. Bring the board in to me and I can come up with a closest conversion in weights for you to finish tallying your weights - you probably won't get as much weight credit fyi. Please try to get the Weighmaster board from someone or some place. I don't have any more extras and can't buy them at a discount anymore.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Nonboaters please bring life jackets to make sure we have enough. Life jackets must be worn zipped and/or buckled whenever the gas motor is running. Boater must use working kill switch when gas motor is running.
No live bait. Artificials only.
I try to make sure there are as few boats as possible with no one that knows the water. I can have a mini-seminar before we launch on where to fish for people who ask about it.
This event is all about everyone catching some fish, having fun and getting to know each other, and also to honor the memory one of our greatest members - David 'MadWags' Wagensomer!!! Thank you for being members of GreatLakesBass.com.
If you have anything new or like new you'd like to donate for prize giveaways, please contact (http://glbass.com/contact) me.
Post that you are attending, and if attending as a boater or nonboater in this thread please. It is easier for me to keep track if your status is in this thread rather than only through some other contact means like PM, phone, email, etc. Thanks!
This is the replacement date for the May 6 event which was canceled due to small craft advisory for that weekend.
Please restate your intentions to attend, and whether you will be a boater or nonboater as we are starting back at zero for this new, rescheduled date. Thank you!

Well, I'll hold off adding you to the list until you confirm you are fishing.
I am fishing with Cmack!
Got you down! Thanks!
In so far?? would be nice to fit in with revtro.

Are you saying you are in as a non-boater? I'm unclear...?
In fit in with as non boater would like to fit in with revtro.
English please so Dan can count you.

Yes... I think I've got this... but previously Revtro and bigjc were already wanting to fish together. Not sure yet if that is still their plan or not?
I'll put you down as a non-boater for now, and update the listing if Revtro confirms that you will be his non-boater instead of bigjc (who I don't think I've heard from on this rescheduled date yet?).
I'm in as boater fishing with Tdroulliard. Same as before the rescheduled date.

Okay. List has been updated.
Looks like I could use 1 more boater! Anyone?
Dan, do you have Team houston on the right list. The only post I saw said in as a boater. Listed under non boater.
Trailer issues arose this past weekend. List is right.
Sign me up as non-boater. If anyone is driving from within 15 miles of Ypsilanti, I'd love to carpool.
Won't be able to make the new date as well sorry
As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to have to miss it this year too. It's just not in the cards with everything I've got going on. Good luck everyone!
I had to order a new caliper assembly from Ranger for the trailer. With Mike dropping out that makes us even unless something else happens. Who do you want Dan, Bob O or Fricker dude??
wooops, sorry Rick, forgot you joined the fun.
is MOJO on the list? if not add him in please, im sure he will chime in soon
I thought I already said I was in as non-boater, guess I forgot ............. :D I go a PM from Frickerdude so we can team up ?
Okay. I will update the list.
Now, I have what seems to be my usual problem again - not enough boaters! Anyone out there with a boat able to make it even though it's kind of last minute??

Can't afford to sink it again...
Dan,
I would volunteer to switch over to boater, but I am currently experiencing truck issues, and unsure what my status will be by the weekend.
Sorry,
J. C.

Well, good luck getting that sorted out. We'll figure something out.
Are there any boaters willing to take 2 non-boaters with them on Saturday? Hate to ask but it looks like we may need that. You can let me know privately if you prefer either way. It is completely up to you, of course. I'm still looking for more boaters otherwise.
Rick has a truck that won't sink, maybe he can tow it?

oh, hope not to change things up but my boat really prefers 2 anglers total.maybe a "team" boat would be large enough for three?
Mojo has a boat that would hold 5 people😊
Hope the wind changes for you. I was going to come over and fish until 11 but the East wind forecast changed my plans. Have fun all. Be safe.
I'll be coming in from Muskegon. Should I trust the Googlez to get me to the ramp without problems?

As long as it says take I-96 E to I-696 E to I-94 E to Metropolitan Parkway exit. Take a right and stay on there until you get to Jefferson Ave (stoplight before entering Lake St. Clair Metropark). Turn left on Jefferson. When it ends at stop sign, take a right on South River Road and then stay on that until it ends at the Harley Ensign BAS. Easy-peasy.
i hear ya the weather looks about the same as the 6th

please let me know if we have extra boats
If we must have 3 anglers in a few boats, they really should be in Bass boats, so that there is adequate deck space to accommodate the additional angler. The aluminum rigs are already short on deck space.

Not the problem I'm having right now.

I'm putting up a separate draw post in just a few minutes and heading to bed. Any other changes/updates will have to be made in the morning. I should be there by 7am - riding with VinceR and SgtMike.
