Top Bass 5/27 Saginaw Bay

[MBell]

Just wondering if anyone is fishing, I will be there.  Less than two weeks away, almost seems too soon.

Won't be fishing it it this year as I will be unfortunately boatless.  I do know a handful of guys who will be.  Will probably help out in some prefishing efforts though.  Always a great tourney, reallly wish I could fish it.  So many options.  Pre-fishing could be a little more expensive this year especially if one is inclined to do a lotta snooping around.  I know if I was fishing it I would be making a crap load of runs all over the place.  So many spots to check. 

Be careful out on that bay, 3 guys just died out there in 17 ft bassboat, very sad story. 

We have had some close encounters as well.  One trip out to the charities in particular.  Got into 4-5 footers, bay waves, around pt lookout and had to turn around, a  little too much for a 19footer.

Watch out for the guy in the black skeeter.

Yeah, I ran out of caseville the day those guys went missing.  It got pretty nasty quick, the 15 minute run out there took two hours on the way back.  It's always important out there to keep your equipment working and have plenty of gas as well as time to navigate those waters when they pick up, which you should expect to happen almost every day.

I was woundering if you have the 2006 schedule for the top bass. I fished in the one on muskegon last year but didn 't receive any info for this year .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  thanks doug

-BTW  how did the Saginaw Bay tournament turn out??

[MBell]

22lbs won it with a fish well over 6lbs.  It was rough, I was only able to spend 3 hours fishing.  I weighed just under 19lbs, there were a lot of good bags in the 20-21lb range weighed in.  Sunday I was in a 7 boat tournament and weighted 21lbs and fishished third, what an awesome lake.
