6/23- Michigan waters only
6/30
7/7
7/14
7/21
7/28
8/4
8/11

i am going to try to make a few of these.  i am still waiting to hear back from my buddy to see if he wants to fish em, if not i will find someone.

good to hear.  They should be alot of fun with lots of fish being caught in 3 hrs.  Plus you won't have to deal with people who make long runs to st. clair and such.  I just hope the weather holds off tomorrow for a nice turn out.

Mark,
       Just a heads up that there is an NBAA tournament that runs out of Erie Metro on Wednesday nights 5pm - 9pm, so you are going to be competing for the same group of anglers likely.  They start at Erie Metro tonight.  This Division is run by Bryan Doyle.

Run out of the Wyandotte Muni ramp!  Dead-nut inbetween LSC and Erie.

Mac - if your buddy can't go we can take my ride.

well I don't know if the weather scared people off or what but no boats showed up and the NBAA only had 6 boats.  It ended up being a very nice afternoon on the river catching some fish.  The difference with with ROI vs. NBAA is that the entry fee is only $40 not $100 and its 100% payback at the ramp.  Oh well lets hope next week we can get some boats to show up.  The good news is we took 1st and big bass!

Just wondering how many fish limit is your tournament and can you fish alone?

5 fish limit, fish alone or with a partner it does not matter.  And Mark some guys just can't quite grasp the 100% payback format; for years there has been so many hands dipping into the cookie jar so when they see 100% payback they just don't seem to understand it. 

We had 9 boats at our first event in 2009 and 2010 we went 61 boats.  One of the many lessons that Mr. Horning taught me is that you always divide the number of guys that say are going to come by 3 - so if 9 guys say they are coming you will most likely see 3.

Well it looks like great weather for wed. and the fish can no longer hide in Canada.  So come on out and enjoy a day on the water and possibly put some cash in your pocket.

[markgoetsch]

Well its going to be a great day on Erie with Mid 70's and <10mph winds from the NW.  I'll be there checking boats in by 5:20.  Just look for a black TR196 next a guy wearing a ROI cap.

[markgoetsch]

Well it was another no show.  I just can't figure out why no one is showing for this event.  It was a great afternoon of fishing anyways went and tooled around at holiday beach and caught five.  It took us a while to find the right depth but once we did it was a great time with great weather.  I just hope that next week we can get at least a couple boats.

Hope to see you out there

Hi Mark,

Don't give up. I hope to start fishing them later in July after my family vacation commitments are met.

Also, I wouldn't mind if they were a 4 hour (5 to 9) event. Just my thoughts.

Sorry dude... You know I'd be there to help ya but I'm @$$ deep in orders.  I didn't even come in to make dinner until almost 2100, Paula was not happy!

[markgoetsch]

as for 5-9, I just thought it would be easier for more people to make there after work if it started at 6.

[markgoetsch]

Just a reminder come on down to the metro park.  I plan on being there every week even if nobody else shows up at least its an excuse to go fishing.
