I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

i vote for fletchers pond in the spring. mostly b/c of the low volume of boat/pwc traffic. oh and the great fishing too  ;D

I think... that will have to wait until I open up the DK Open North (in my '5 year plan' ;D)

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

What about Kent Lake out of the east launch for the spring, and for the fall open we could do Kent Lake out of the west launch.  that way its fair to everyone.

McCarter himself :-\'

Is Rick a member? If not, someone sign him up... I'll rebate a portion of the membership fee (easy to do when membership is free :D )

Scarily enough... that does kind of make sense ??? But probably not doable... the west launch takes so long to drive around too... only been there once myself.

In the spring we go to LSC. That's just how we roll here at Greatlakesbass.com. In the fall you can all discuss the best possible place to drive and catch limited amounts of fish. (compared to LSC) Seems as though we never get the turnout in the fall that we do in the spring. Hey I've got an idea! Lets have the fall DK Open on LSC.

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

Im not sure if Rick actually knows how to use a computer, his voice mail on his phone is his wife telling you to leave a message for Rick. HMM i guess that says it all....LOL 
Love ya Rick (in a fisherman to fisherman way)

And Aaron is actually his nephew
and I dont think Rick would be against the DK open in the fall no matter where it is.

By the way my vote is St Clair in spring and White in the fall, Hopefully it can be scheduled so I can make them both.

And Im not against Kent Lake either.
When you are in any contest you should work as if there whereto the very last minute a chance to loose it.

sorry about that I meant nephew

LSC / White sounds like a fantastic combo to me. hopefully white keeps up as good as it was in '08

LSC in the spring and White in the Fall would be ideal.

Had a great time at the DK open today and recommend the event to all members, any chance they get.  It's a low cost, fun tournament and Dan put together some outstanding give aways including a first class Grandt Rod.  The best part is to hang out with the folks behind the screen names though.  I got to fish with Fowlmouth today, we took his boat and he was a gracious host and good stick.  Rob and I spent most of our day with the very active largemouth and had a blast.  Thanks Rob for the great net job on the big ugly winner, a 8.3 lb. drum.  Thank's Dan for the trout bait as part of the "other fish" prize.  Had fun!

What a great day!! Caught so many Largemouth with Dborsa we lost count. And it was amazing meeting Megan. She's much prettier in person!! ;D

So wheres all the reports and results from the DK open? I hope it was not as windy on St Clair as it was up north on Grand lake. Out of the three days we were up there it blew 30-40 on thurs and sat and 20-25 on friday. We still fished every day for 10-12 hours but it really limited us to where and how we could fish. Hope you guys stayed safe and still cought some good fish.

Everyones got lockjaw after this coldfront.

I don't have the actual results but it took over 23 lbs i believe and second was over 21 lbs. It was a tough day for most people. Big Bass was a 6+ Smallie on the Golden rule, but they say was probably bigger.  Im sure DK will post the results pretty soon.
