Dan asked me to post this correction.

You west siders should travel 96 not 69.

The DK Open is on May 3rd not May 10th.

Our Dicks Sporting Goods store is generally the same size as everyone elses.

I am a bad boy.
Rev and MacCarter were a bad influence on me and I have learned my lesson about traveling with the wrong crowd. I should have listened to my mother.

I am sorry.

I got my printer working so I won't have to worry about getting up there before the 3rd. Amazing how putting new ink cartridges in made the difference. I never made the connection.

You know... there are so many things in this thread now... I just don't know where to start???

I'll try: For the 100th post - I grant 10 free posts.

I will make up weigh slips to use for anyone who wants them - doesn't have to be fancy, but you can get the fancy ones for yourselvles if you want them.

The largemouth bass weighmaster is the right one. If you don't have one, we'll see how what you have measures up, but any other board will have to use the next LOWER mark below the bass' length to be fair and we all know ounces cost in a bigtime championship event like this!!!

BD - maybe someone else will have to leave early and they can fish with you?? We shall see - you just won't be able to collect the big prizes by leaving that early, but you can post on here later about how you HAD IT WON!! if only you hadn't had to leave early

And finally - Wags - you are a bad boy... (but I still hope you show up on the 3rd anyway )

I would be willing to leave early....I may have to work that day anyway....I was going to take the day off, but if it would work out for someone for me to leave early that would be great...Let me know..I don't know if BD has a boat, but I should have my boat ready by then..

[Briboy]

I am in..... Non Boater though.
Can't wait to fish this/these awesome water(s) I have heard so much about
in the lasty 37 years!!!!!!!!

[MadWags]

Long ways from Chi Town, but I am sure it will be worth it.

Hey Dan,

How are you looking for boaters vs non-boaters  Sounds like a ton-o-participation.  I am working on it....let you know asap.

JC

[Briboy]

Yep, a long way for me but, am looking forward to it very much

[djkimmel]

I'll get a list of boaters and nonboaters together within the next 2 days.

Briboy - you'll be glad you are coming!!

[Briboy]

these waters as I mentioned b4

Dan K., In as a boater -- thx, Mike McG.

[TCook]

Whats the boater to non-boater count? Me and Jav were thinking about coming up thursday night so we could fish St. Clair for two days instead of one since we both have fri-sun off work. We fished a tournament on Maxi last sat and his motor was not running that great so we wanted to figure out if more boaters were needed or if we could both go as non boaters. Also are there any recammendations on cheap places to stay out that way if we head there early and decide to take his boat?

Thanks Tim C

I ordered the weighmaster on Line from Gator grip on 4/11..they charged my credit card shortly after that..As of today I still hadn't recieved it...I called them and they said they haven't shipped it yet..I asked if they were out of them..and she said no they just haven't shipped it yet..Needless to say I wasn't happy..I told her to email me the status of the rule once she got it worked out and I haven't heard anything today...Are they going out of business or what??? Does anyone have another source other than Gator grip direct??? I tried BPS and Cabelas with no luck....Thanks

[TCook]

I counted the boater and non boaters that posted and right now it adds up to 17 boaters and 17 non boaters with a few that are not sure.

Well it's official,  we aren't going to be able to make it again this year  .

Hubby has to work and it's my bow league banquet that day,  seeing as I won I can't miss it.

Life is getting busy already and we just lost our ice two weeks ago. 

I thought for sure we were going to be able to make it this year.

You all have a good time!! 

[djkimmel]

If we have to, we'll put an extra member in a few boats so everyone who wants to fish can.

Wendy - I thought you'd make this one. You're going to miss some great fishing - sorry.

As far as Gator Grips, I hadn't heard anything about their business one way or the other. I'll give my source a call tomorrow to see what's up. I want to make sure I have the 6 extra I'm supposed to have.

Anyone who wants to fish, put up now and I'll see where we seem to be tomorrow night (as long as I don't have to work super late).

[motocross269]

Gator Grip hooked me up and sent my scale out 2 day....It took a couple of phone calls and emails to get things rolling...I don't know if they just lost my order or what, but 10 days is an awful long time to process an order and get it sent out...

[spinninbug]

I thought we were going to make it too.  I'm really bummed about it too.  I have been trying to make one of these for 3 years.  I have to day off too,  but hubby has to work. Hopefully we can do the fall one this year.

I really need to be at that banquet.  When I said I would shoot it I never in a million years expected to win the league.  Now all I have to do is connect with a deer with my bow and I will be extremely happy! 

I'm really sorry I'm going to miss this I was so hoping to meet everyone and do some fishing,  actually I was hoping someone could prove me wrong,  because so far I haven't been all that impressed with St. Claire,  don't get me wrong I have caught fish (and the last time it was my fault I didn't get a limit)  however the way everyone talks about it the fish should be just jumpin in the boat! I saw that happen to Josh! (sorta)  Hasn't been that way for me at all.  Maybe it's just because I'm from up North!

Well you all have a good time and I look foward to reading all about it here.
