Can you post the up to date standings? Thanks again for all the time and effort you guys put in for us to fish. This has easily been the smoothest ran, and most enjoyable tournament that we have fished all year.

[chrisvmo]

Still 4 events left.  For anyone looking for some fun, competitive opens to fish or if you haven't been out yet this year I would recommend coming out and checking one of the events before it's done!

Can't wait for Sunday. Might be a tough bite with the BFL there on Saturday and the cooler temps. Should be interesting to see who can find them.

How about that?  Big bass by itself was over half of the weight of their bag. That had to have been a tough day.

[Braidman]

Tough wasn't the word for Sunday, our 10.23lbs. was with four fish, we couldn't even catch a 14-incher to fill out our limit. John and Jay definitely earned their win....

[Crankinsmallies]

Atleast you had 4 We couldn't even manage 2.

[Mike S.]

I had time to text John on Monday. He seemed pretty happy with it. Hopefully he and I can be that lucky on Fremont for the Labor Day Open.

[chrisvmo]

Can't wait for tomorrow. Should be a great bite and a great day for fishing on the mighty Grand!

All,
With only two tournaments left for this season, we would like to thank everyone for coming out and making this our best season so far, I would also like to ask all of you for some input on what you would like to see for next season, I usually ask everyone at the end of the year for ideas but, I know sometimes it's easier to email or post your ideas rather than speak out in front of everyone. I will look into everyones ideas and bounce them off of Esox and some of you out there and try and make any changes by a sort of consensus, so give us all your ideas such as higher or lower entry fees, more or less number of events, payout structure,team or individual events, shorter or longer hours, we will take in all suggestions. Thanks again and see you Sunday.

Add another Lake into the mix, maybe Lake Mac or Saugatuck. Alternate a little, I'm getting burned out with fishing the Grand.

Week 10 and Heavy Weight Race Attached.  After this week I will remove the lowest weight and report the best 10 results for each team if applicable.  See you Sunday.

With as low as the water is this year, Saugatuck would be asking for a boating accident if you don't know the water.  Hopefully it comes back up!  I was out there tonight and had to treat everything up river from the Douglas bridge as no wake just to make sure I didn't run aground or throw myself over the bow of the boat. 

[Crankinsmallies]

Yeah I caught the sandbar at the mouth just past the bridge last weekend, luckly nothing was damaged on the boat other than a little less paint on the skeg. Be careful
