Will there be a heavyweight title w plaque this year?

[Braidman]

If it looks like Kevin and I are going to win we will have one.(lol)
We were just going to hand out winner plaques but, if you would like to see a Heavyweight Title we can do that. Would you like for us to have a Heavyweight Title?

[Braidman]

We will do a Heavyweight/AOY Title this year for the seven tournaments, we will keep it simple this year with one title, either the team or individual with the most weight wins.

[Dutchie1030]

If we can't make one are you going to do like you did last year and use out best 6 tournaments?

[Braidman]

No. Most weight wins "Heavyweight Title" , whether you fish one or seven.

[RangerOwner18]

Are these separate from the Sunday Shooter that goes out of there every week?  Or am I combining the 2?

Thanks Lu

[Braidman]

We were only ones that went out of 144th St. ramp last year on a fairly regular basis that I know of. We are only doing the seven tournaments this year compared to last years schedule due to the fact that some of us will be fishing the 2013 One on One Opens. I'm not aware of a weekly Sunday Shooter out of 144th but, Wednesday night there is a weekly Shooter tournament  that is a lot of fun with a good bunch of guys.

[RangerOwner18]

I am there every Weds night.  It is a lot of fun.

[tristen]

Are you going to be hosting any tournaments in white lake or Muskegon? I think we talked about it last year but I just can't make it up there. You better watch out this year

[Braidman]

No, just the seven scheduled for the Grand River. Brian will be hosting the One on Ones for Mac and the Grand this year, hopefully you can make his Grand One on One tournaments.

[Braidman]

Guys,
We are going to put together a Grand River Shooter for this Sunday the 26th.

Where: Grand River 144th Street launch

When: This Sunday the 26th

Time: 6:00am – 2:00pm

Entry: $40 Team - $20 Solo

100% Payout

[BassDaggett]

What time does the Wednesday night tournament start?  Fished a few at the end of the year last year, but can't remember what time it started (or went to for that matter).

I'll be on White fishing the Shoreline Tour on Saturday and more than likely won't be able to make Sunday (especially with the wife's birthday on Monday). 

thx

Dustin,
I think the Wednesday night guys will probably start at 6:00pm and go until 9:00pm at the start of the season, later in the summer they might stretch it until 9:30pm. Good Luck Saturday!

That is correct.  Usually the month of June and July we run until 9:30.  We are starting the Wednesday after Mem day.  I talked to Eric last week.

[BassDaggett]

Cool, sounds like the first Wednesday night T is on May 29th, starting at 6pm.

Are there any other weeknight events on the Grand?
