2006 DK Open----When???

[spinninbug]

Yep Dan you remembered right,  the only time I don't fish with my husband I fish with two of my fishin buddies from Jackson, emeryj being one of those.  This year I will be fishing with my husband only though we are fishing a team club this year.

I think my husband thinks he's created a freak.  He knows when I've been slow at work and come home and talk about what I read online about fishing.

Lots of great choices on where to go.......How about when?   It maybe too early to ask this but.....I want to make sure I block the date for this......no matter where it is. 

My wife is a fishing wife.  She just won't fish tournaments.  She thinks it takes the fun out of fishing.  Too much pressure she says.  So I got an alternate partner.....my daughter.  She is a better fisherman......I mean fisherperson than the bride anyway.  She puts fish in the boat and she likes the $$$$ when we do well.  But the best part is I get to fish with my kid.

I don't care what lake.  I've never had much lunk on Kent, but that's ok.  Maybe my partner can show me how. 
You might have trouble with the Portage chain out by Pinckney.  There's not much of a boat launch (in terms of parking places) and the township has a rule that it not be opened too early.  I think it's 8:30, but am not positive.
Ovid was cool last year.  A drive for me, but that's ok.  I liked it, and will definately go back in warm weather.

Met a lot of cool guys last time. Had a ball.  Will definately be back.

I like the September time frame again.

I myself have no trouble making it to Ovid.  I understand it is a real good largemouth lake.  I have never been there, but would welcome a chance to check it out.  I may try to make it out there sometime during this coming season whether it is picked or not.

Hmmm? Sounds pretty normal to me...

By the number of posts here it looks like the 2006 DK Open is going to be three times as big as last year. Thats awesome! Last year was a good time. Looking forward to this year no matter where it is.

BigDog, I hear ya! There is nothing like fishing with your kids. I have three daughters, 24, 21 and 19. They all like to fish. They don't fish alot but they like it alot.

For the last 5 years I've spent Fathers Day fishing a daddy-daughter tournament with one of my daughters. I look forward to that more than any other tournament I fish. Last year we managed to win. That was even better. Now my daughter Amber has her name engraved on the traveling trophy that she gets to keep until next years tournament.

My wife also likes to fish and she fishs a few tournaments with me also. The family that plays together stays together!

Life is GOOD!
