Does anybody know were I can buy the golden rule "Weighmaster" bump board??

[djkimmel]

I've seen them at the major places too - Gander, BPS

anyone going out on thursday..  i will be there around 11:00 if it doesn't storm...  lots of carp jumpin..

Anthony only has about 6 golden rules left, so if you can find one at the store, buy it.  Plus you will save about $2.00 which you can use later to buy me a beer.

I will be at the east launch to redirect people to the west launch.  the tournament is going out of the WEST LAUNCH. 

There are a ton of patterns out there right now.  A bunch of smallmouth have already spawned and are very very skinny, but we are looking for length at this tournament so it doesnt matter.  Tons of fish on beds and a bunch of pre spawners available as well.  Should be a decent tournament.  I have not been able to do much pre fishing but the couple times i went, i was able to hook into about 6 keepers each time in about 2 hours.  Nothing huge, but Maize caught a nice solid 4lb smallie on a trap out of the back of my boat the other day.

See ya there.

Well, I fished this event on sunday.. (If you can call what I did fishing). I thought it was a well run tournament. It was a tough job for Anthony having to tell a couple of guys they couldn't fish because of a lack of co-anglers and I think he handled as best as possible. I mangaged only 1 keeper and lost 2 at the very end, but they wouldn't have helped. I think it was almost 16 pounds to win it. Maybe next time I will do more catching then fishing.

Congrats to Steve Smith ( aka Dartag ) on his 3rd place finish and big bass honors!  I cant remember the weight of either, but i know he was up there.

He was bed fishing with a carolina rigged Spro Bronze Eye frog to hull in his share of Kent Lake lunkers.



Does that sound about right, Steve?

We had a great turn out with 20+ boats.  Unfortunatly, as Kdawg mentioned, we did not have enough non boater and were forced to send a couple boaters away.  They could have stayed and fished had they been able to agree on whos boat to use, but some did not want to leave there boats in the parking lot all day.

The guys who did leave seemed to understand the situation and it did not appear that any of them were mad.  Those are the breaks when your fishing on paper. 

Next stop, LAKE ST CLAIR on May 20th.  Another paper tournament.  If you plan to fish this event, please pre register ASAP to ensure you will be able to fish with your boat.
