2012 MadWags Memorial Members Tournament West Sun Sep 30 Lake Skegemog Signup

[Waterfoul]

I will be there as a boater Dan.  Wasn't really all that sure until now.  Won't be able to pre-fish it at all as I have to work all day Saturday the 29th, so who ever fishes with me better have something worked out to find fish!   

[MSURoss]

I wont be able to fish as non boater... Too  much school work and club responsibilities to do before the club tourney... 

[djkimmel]

Okay. Thanks to a pro-active cameraguy I'm slowly working on a list. Still have to finish going through PM, VM and email exceptions too.

[mikesmiph]

It actually looks like Veronica and I wont be able to make it. I didn't get the time off work. First time this year though, so can't complain too much.

[djkimmel]

Bummer. Now we KNOW the bass are going to be biting!!!!!

[Mike S.]

Let's just hope that with the weather pattern we are having lately, we don't get our first freeze again the night before. That was a major bummer last year.

[thedude]

bring on the cold water! lets just hope its not a crazy high-pressure front like last year. We fished that friday near lake michigan in 40mph winds and 2 story waves on the big lake lol. thats sept for ya - could be 90 and sunny or could be 45 are rippin..... shorter days and dropping water temps = fall feed bag. bring it on!

[Mike S.]

Last year my boat had a white sheet on it by the time I got there. It was 26 degrees when I pulled in to the boat launch. Don't want that again.

[TheFishinPollock]

I froze my can off that morning!

[Mike S.]

Yeah, you looked pretty cold when we pulled in.

[thedude]

Be more like charlie sheen - do not fear the white stuff.

[Mike S.]

Ummmmmmm..........  Ok.

[Waterfoul]

But only if you have tiger blood flowing thru your body...

[Mike S.]

Are the boater and non boater numbers close?

[deepdiver]

I think you all should try camping in OPEN TENT like bassfan586 and myself did last year...talk about being cold!!!!!!!!!!!

[cameraguy]

Are the boater and non boater numbers close?

This is what I came up with by going through the pages. I understand that there are some who have e-mailed and PM'd Dan. It would be nice if everybody posted their intentions on this thread so someone other than Dan could do an accurate tabulation. That is why this thread exists.

Dan has not done a count because he is very busy trying to scratch out a living. BTW, he did not ask or tell me to post this. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he deletes it as he doesn't want to hurt anybody's feelings or create any ill will.

Also, this is supposed to be a "fun" tournament and a way for members to hang out and meet other members by doing what we all have in common...enjoying the sport/recreation of fishing. That's why this is designated a "draw" tournament.

It looks like we will be hanging out alright, to the tune of 3 to every boat. I wish I could bring mine, but I just can't pay for the whole trip right now.

[Mike S.]

I will throw this out there.  I can't afford to foot the gas bill for the whole trip.  If someone from the west side, or someone who will be driving through the Muskegon area would be interested in splitting gas in the truck and in the boat 50/50, we could team up and fish.  At the very least, this would take me off the nonboater list, and put another NB in my boat.  Plus, it would put another NB in the boat I would have fished from.  Or, if two people wanted to split the trip 3 ways with me, it would keep a smaller boat from having to fish 3 people all day.  Just an idea, but I will need to know fairly soon.

Split 2 ways, this trip would cost roughly 70 to 75 bucks each.  3 ways, about 50 each.

   No way Kurt !!!  I was cold just sitting around your campfire last year !!!!!!   

[djkimmel]

Sorry. Death in the family. I will probably not get to this until after the out of town funeral Wednesday but I will get to it soon.

I have had a boater or two so far say they are willing to take 3 in a boat. We will probably need several. I do not expect to have my truck fixed and boat payed for in time for the event unfortunately so I'm riding up with someone.

Thanks for the initial tally. I have some of the PM, VM and email changes at least in 1 or 2 places to go through.
