Midwest Sportsman Mich Div 20 (Huron Valley)

[Mark117]

you better just stop, you're scaring the kids?  I'm thinking about maybe skippin this one... let chris win it by himself?  He's a very good deep structure fisherman.  At ford i didn't catch a keeper and josh did? last night at kent i lost my mojo and josh won't let it go?? he said he doesn't need me to win? he had the tourney won in the first 30 min.? He said I was talking to much and was very distracting? Hum?   Focus kid!

is there a spell check in this system? I can't spell...

so what happened.  us " non-fishermen " need details.

[McCarter]

it was brutal.  that lake fishes very tough.  the same guys won again.  they had 5 for 10+ lbs.  Ron Foley from South Street Tackle took 2nd with 4 for 6 lbs and Kev and I had 3rd with 2 fish for 2.6 lbs.

two boats weighed 1 fish and 3 boats zeroed i think. 

eric should have the full results posted soon.

Ford Lake is about the toughest lake i have ever fished.  We probably caught 60 fish in 8 hours but only 2 were keepers.  I have never had so many bites in a tournament. They were eating the DS really good both the Nemesis Goby and the Gulp Goby and also Berkley 3" Fry Worm.  And we caught a bunch of fish on jigs as well.  We gave the bump board a good workout but only got 2 to squeak past the 14" line.  Hope Belleville is better to us in 2 weeks.  My wife is getting a little impatient waiting for me to bring home the bacon.

I fished Ford Lake the week before the tourny (first time on the lake) and caught a bunch of 12 and 13 inch fish, but wasnt able to locate anything with any size. I would have been at the tourny but my fishin parter cancel on me at 11pm on saturday. Where abouts were you guys catching these keepers, if you dont mind me asking?

[Bender]

Consider yourself lucky. All our keepers come from other lakes, we didn't have anything to weigh in there. I won't be going back to Ford, even nicked my prop to throw a little salt on the wound.

Non-members competing in the final three qualifying events will not be earning points in the division standings. Otherwise, fewer points would be available to members attempting to qualify for the classic. Members will earn points based on the place they finish compared to other members.

Lets see a big turnout and big cash prizes for the top anglers. I expect the members to hold their own against any local experts. Just like the first three events, the competition should be tough, and the winners will earn their victories and a nice payout.

Thanks to the new teams for competing at Belleville Lake. Now that the membership fee has been waived, turnouts will be up. We hope even more new teams will be at our next tournament on Kent Lake on Sunday, August 16. Have a look at the nice payouts in the results link below and make your plans to attend.

As expected, we had our best turnout of the year at Kent Lake. The bass fishing was impressive and the payouts were tremendous, as you can see by clicking the link below. Thanks to the new non-member teams for participating, and especially thanks to members of other Midwest Sportsman divisions in our area for their support.

Special thanks to Midwest Sportsman Division 12 Director Dave Wilson for his help. Please consider entering his events at Lobdell Lake August 22 and Kent Lake August 29. He can be reached at 734-476-1385 for more details. We expect another solid turnout at our next Huron Valley tournament on Portage Lake on Sunday, September 6.

Portage Lake provided lots of keeper bass as expected, resulting in a tight race for a finish in the money. Thanks to the dedicated anglers for participating on a holiday weekend that featured beautiful weather and heavy boat traffic. Special thanks to Jon Jezierski for assisting with the weigh-in.

Congratulations to Jesse Scott and Gary Bucciarelli for winning the Team of the Year Award. The competition was strong at every event, yet they proved to be the team to beat from day one. Click on the link below for more details.

Thanks again to all the anglers who made this new Midwest Sportsman division a success this year. Seven teams have qualified for the Classic on Wixom Lake next month. Good luck to every team competing for a share of the $10,000 prize purse!
