SOUTHERN MICHIGAN'S FIRST ANNUAL FALL OPEN

I am working on putting together an open tournament on Coldwater Lake for October 3rd.  I will get all the details up on the board here real soon.  But for now, check in starts at 5am and we will launch at 7 or safe light.  We will launch at the DNR launch site.  90% payback, team event, all cash.  5 fish total.

Like I said I am still working out all the details.  I am hoping to get plaques, but I am not counting on that.

Little over a month away and I have notice that some are finding the bigger fish already.  Should be a good weigh in with a mix bag if the smallies are on that day.

I am participating a MATS classic tournament the same day on Coldwater... do you know about this tourney?

[squid]

Never heard about it and the DNR never told me there was another tournament on that date when I first checked into it back in July.

[squid]

What does MATS stand for?  I have not heard of this group.

[squid]

Did they change their dates?

That is not the same group. MATS = Michiana Anglers' Tournament Series. They do not have a website.

This tourney is going out of Lakedrive Marine.

[squid]

Wow...then there are other Michiana trails out there....lol

[squid]

Less than a month away.  Already have some good prizes for drawings too.  hummin Bird graph, A National Anglers Bait casting rod, and hopefully more.  Hope to have my ankle heald by then or it will be a painful day for me...lol

[squid]

Well the ankle is still sore and stiff, but coming along.  1 week to go and the smallies are biting.  Hope to see you there.
