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.

There's this one...



I still like the 14th so far.

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.

Remember you don't quit fishing when you get old, you get old when you quit fishing

I could ask my contact about Capt Ken. You never know about these things - he might show up and bring some of his top of the line topwater frogs.

I'd prefer flying solo, I have a bad habit of hitting people in the back of the boat with small fish while froggin'.

I could probably make it either day for an event like this.

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

frogapalooza, i love it

So is it going to be the 13th and 14th or just one or the other.

I think it should be a team event but you can fish alone too.  I think there should be a money pot for big bass.  Maybe $20 per boat for the 1st and 2nd biggest bass and a 60-40 split respectively.

i'm thinking saturday for the frog thing, as far as any money or bragging rights, so far it's one vote for each. we have plenty of time to figure that part out.

your in, but please leave your rat in the tackle box. i know they are very similar, but it's just not a frog.

Mojo

Sunday is open for me .... Im requesting we box the rules such that we are clearly a slop fishing event (Rats should be included ... ?) Maybe say it must be a 4/0 hook (that'll exclude crankbaits) or bigger and bait cannot sink (that'll exclude swim baits??) No sub surface caught fish allowed etc ? Those types of examples  ???

Your thoughts folks ?

Thanks Dan for bringing year round Catch and Release to Michigan

i think it should be whatever kind of frog you want.... soft-body, hard-body, soft plastic and fished wherever or however you want. Lets not make it too complicated. Just throw a frog.

frog = rubber/skirt type legs and look like a frog. sorry no frog patterned buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, spooks, popper type baits (unless they got frog type legs)  or crankbaits no matter how shallow they dive.

this is a link to what bass pro shops seea as frog baits. (except the tail rage real frogs have two legs)

i hope this makes it a little more clear, and yes there frog baits not sold at either retailer shown but i hope you get the pitcher. i hope i never come up with a jig only fishing day

djkimmel

It's bob o's call. He's the 'tournament director.' I'm marking down August 13.

I hope Horny Toads count too!
