Any Kzoo guys??

[TCook]

Any boaters in the kalamazoo area on here? I just moved here and looking to get into some local tournaments or someone to fish with during the week. What lakes get the action around here and what tournaments (weekends and weeknighters) get the most boats? I know gun and gull are popular but not much else.

Lots of Kalamazoo area anglers visit the site. They are probably out fishing or working right now.

Doubt they are out fishing in this wind lol. Would love to here some feedback or hook up with someone for local stuff. I am available tues-fri and can take a weekend day off here and there.

I had to lean into the wind the other day just to pump some overpriced gas into my little car! There's been a good number of Kalamazoo area sign ups over the last 6 months or so. Hopefully I can get them more active on the site and you'll get some feedback too.

[TCook]

Yes overpriced gas which is predicted to hit $5 a gallon this summer and why I want to do the majority of my fishing this year local. Even in the wind soon we will all be in the bent over position when filling up LOL.

[djkimmel]

I agree. I'll have to get some video of that too... for a new website...

   Just so you know, Tim's a great guy to have fishing with you.  I've been on a number of trips with him.  He's very knowledgeable and a good stick.  He's also very conscious of how he treats your equipment and rig.
    Is that how you wanted me to say that Tim?  LMAO  Just kidding  !!!!  I'd fish with Tim any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

That's $20 right there!! Good job!

Still looking for someone in the kzoo area, gotta be someone out there that could use a partner.

Hey kzoo guy here.  Sorry I have a partner but I can offer you some info.  For tournaments go nbaa division 17 gets the most boats for a weeknight, we average about 24 boats.  If your looking for a tournament that doesn't have a national championship and has better payouts then you'll want to look at Double L bait and tackle weeknight tourny.  For the weekend tourny's go we don't have any nbaa ones because we have a 100 percent payback one on Sunday mornings and I looking at starting a one on one 100 percent payback on Saturday mornings.  I'll let you know the schedule for Sat and Sun when I get them and the nbaa one you can look up on the web site.  For lakes Austin and Gull are about the best in our county and they also get fished the hardest but all the others are good too but Barton lake is about the worst.  Hope I helped.  Keep checking your post and if I here anybody looking for a partner and when I get a schedule for those weekend tournys.

Thanks Flip thats the kind of information I was looking for, let me know whatever you find out.

Hey Tcook. I'm a GR guy but I was planning on fishing the k-zoo area a little bit this year. I'm descent on gun, but I know Gull very well. I was actually thinking about trying Lake Allegan this year and some of the southern ports of Lake Michigan...I should have a couple open days a week this spring/summer. Maybe we could figure out some of these lakes together...pm me and we could figure something out.

Stop into D&R sports and talk to Miles Hanley he is a Director for NBAA.  He should be able to tell  you whats in your area to fish.
