KENT LAKE EVENT

[McCarter]

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the whining PoorBoy gets  his way.

We are going to have a 'pre-2007' ABA event on OCTOBER 29 on Kent Lake.  We are working on making it a membership free tournament so guys can test the ABA waters.

This event will count towards 2007.  Anyone who is interested in fishing the ABA and taking advantage of the new regional format can come out and fish without paying a membership fee.

We will probably launch at the west launch and fish from safe light to whatever 8 hours is.  Proabably 7:30 - 3:30. 

More details to come.

Anyone of yous guys interested?

Oct 29 is the same day as Ken Purvey on Cass.  isn't the chiller on the 28th at kent.

[McCarter]

Busy weekend.  Maybe we can move it up a week to the 22nd.  I will check with the bossman and get with you guys when i find out.

OK, how does October 22 sound?

We didnt realize that weekend was the KP Memorial.  Definatly dont want to conflict with that one.  Thats always a good turnout.  Maybe i can fish it this year if KDizzle is up for it.  I will have to check with my wife, of course.  Pregnant woman can be a tricky species as i am learning.

So there it is, Kent Lake ABA Sunday October 22.  Now who is interested?  Any takers?

West boat launch.  Registration 6:45 - 7:15 am followed by meeting aka Hello, I am your tournament director Anthony Adams.  On behalf of our sponsors Triton Boats, Mercury Marine, Airrus Rods, Hooah Energy bars, yada yada yada, i would like to thank you for coming out, etc, etc, etc........

Blast off 7:30 am

Weigh in 3:30 pm

Hooters 4:15 pm

Any questions, feel free to contact me @ 248-379-4724 or by email at bassass2@yahoo.com.........or pm me.

Entry fee and payout to be determined.  We may be moving to a higher payout percentage for 2007, but entry fees will also be increased.  Dont know if that is going to happen yet or not.  But if it does, it will be somewheres along the lines of $70 entry fee with a 90% payback.

Optional $5 Big Bass Pot.

I checked with my better half and she gave me the ok to extend my fishing season one more week. Count me in as a non-boater.

is there still going to be a " Late Fee " and " permit " fee.   

[McCarter]

i dont know about any of that Steve.  All i know is what i posted.  I guess AA will have more answers once he gets back from Nationals.

[dartag]

my bro at the ABA nationals,  you and kev at old hic.  me here at home ( sniff, sniff ).  life is cruel.

[McCarter]

sounds like someone needs a hug.

Why dont you just cruise down with me and Kev and help us pre fish.  Then once the tournament starts, you can do all the cleaning while we are out fishing   And if you do a good job of cleaning the room while we are out, maybe we will let you respool all our reels and organize all of our tackle.

Poorboy,

Unfortunately I will not be able to fish on the 22 at Kent Lake. Good luck to all who will be there.

ABSOLUTLY. and if you have any friends that want to come as no boaters bring them with you. From PoorBoys reporting it sounds like we will be boat heavy.
