See this update on this event: http://www.greatlakesbass.com/forum/index.php?topic=16038.msg104183#msg104183 - I can't make it but Waterfoul has volunteered to be 'interim tournament director' for this event. There will be a few differences but those who want to fish are welcome and encouraged to please still attend and enjoy some Michigan bass fishing.

Open to all registered GreatLakesBass.com members only - register on this forum to become a member - no deadline to join.1

Format is draw tournament with boater and nonboater fishing as a team. 5 biggest bass 14 inches or longer (mouth closed) between team members will be weighed to determine finish. Please take good care of your bass with working livewells.

*Biggest non-bass fish brought in to weigh wins the coveted BIG UGLY prize! Fish must be in season and legally caught to count.

1Please note:
Family members may be able to fish together. Please contact me directly by PM, phone 810-433-BASS (2277) or email to arrange this. I would prefer family members 18 and older be a registered member of GreatLakesBass.com. I will not request that of family members under 18 and prefer not to have family members under 13 register due to federal regulations. If you have a family member that wants to fish but not be a member, please just contact me privately prior to the event. Youth 17 years or younger must be participating with a parent or legal guardian. Exceptions to this will need to be discussed with me in advance. Use the contact information above.


GENERAL INFORMATION


Nonboaters please bring life jackets to make sure we have enough. Life jackets must be worn zipped and/or buckled whenever the gas motor is running. Boater must use working kill switch when gas motor is running.

No live bait, artificials only. A Golden Rule courtesy board will be available at the weigh in. You can use your own weigh in bag.

I try to make sure there are as few boats as possible with no one that knows the water. I can have a mini-seminar before we launch on where to fish for people who ask for it. This is an event where we want to see everyone catch some fish!

This event is all about everyone catching some fish, having fun and getting to know each other, and also to honor the memory one of our greatest members - David MadWags Wagensomer!!! Thank you for being members of GreatLakesBass.com.

If you have anything new or like new you'd like to donate for prize giveaways, please contact me.

Post that you are attending, and if attending as a boater or nonboater in this thread please. It is easier for me to keep track if your status is in this thread. Thanks!

*Note: Special trout regulations apply to parts of Manistee Lake, the channel to Lake Michigan, the Manistee River and Little Manistee River. There is also a fishing closure for a small part of the very south end of the lake / Little Manistee River. See the map and information on another post in this thread for this area and also for the boundary limit for anglers fishing this event. Also, see the latest Michigan fishing guide for more information.

I'm in on this one too. I will go out on a limb and say boater, especially if my boat doesn't go to LSC in May.

YpsiBass

In as a non-boater.

mikesmiph

I'll remember to request the day off this time and be there as a boater. Plan on girlscanfishtoo being with me.

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

Hi Ma!

As mentioned, I've changed to date forward to the next Sunday, October 6 due to the pleasant and unexpected surprise of gaining the Toyota All-Star Week in Muskegon on our previous week/weekend. I expect to be at the Bassmaster event for most of the event doing media. I imagine some of you want to be there too.

I hope the date change doesn't mess too many people up but I want a big turnout for both events so we won't go head-to-head! ;D

I'm leaning towards Manistee Lake right now due to votes and being new or like new for the event. Are there enough spots for everyone to catch some bass? Will we have to rotate in and out of Ed and Mike's spots?!? :)

I was hoping you would just run with my comment but I understand. I was a webelos (whatever that is??).

    Hmmmmm I was planning on attending (even though I hadn't posted it) but now I'll have to check the calender concerning my trip to Burt/Mullett

djkimmel

It's on your way...?

I couldn't keep it the weekend before. No way I'd be able to get ready and make it there while All-Star Week is going on too. I'd rather have people attend that. I want to have more of them!

  Oh, I understand Dan.  Just didn't understand at first until I read further.  Was thinking it was an earlier date.  LOLOLOL  I may have to shift my plans for Burt and Mullet a day or two.  If the weather looks good, I might even see if my wife wants to fish it.  :)
