Just wanted to let everyone know I revised this schedule. I had a lot on my plate between the two circuits I'll be running. I will only run four of these during the summer months. I will have a Grand River Fall Opens circuit starting in late September since we really had some nice turnouts this past fall.

Don't forget when you get a chance - enter your tournament schedule into the new MDNR fishing tournament schedule and results system - http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/fishingtournaments/

That give people a centralized place to find them, and people can see where and when an event is already scheduled.

I threw one more tournament in there for June 2nd. Let anyone know that you know that doesn't get on here. Thanks

To maximize payouts for the Grand River Opens and the One on One series Brian is going to pay down to a maximum of three places and Big Bass. With a 20 boat field a team or individual has a potential with a 1st and Big Bass to cash almost $500 for the day with a $40 entry.
