NBAA Info???

[dartag]

Anyone attend the meeting in Novi.  There site has been updated but no schedules or championships are listed.   

[jgip087]

No postings have been made stating who won the 10 prizes for the Super Big Bass drawing either. Does anyone know who won the prizes? I won the 4-wheeler last year, but it looked like they were only giving away a Power Pole this year

[customfishn]

I'm not really sure who won the top ten prizes, I know I didn't but they are working on the website. They have dates for all the upcoming championships but no lakes other then the spring classic at Kentucky.  They did say that the spring classic at Kentucky will be televised and also have a live internet stream for all three days.

I've been watching the progess on the site. And it's been slow

I asked about the new logo, and Pete clued me in
It's the old NBAA logo but they replaced the fish with that from the TDF logo

[Flippin222]

The winners from the drawings have been posted on the website.

Sweet! I had no idea that I won the Lock-N-Haul and $100 until I just looked! Congrats to the overall winners and Andrew Soloman for the Angler of the Year title!

Got a note from NBAA today. He said schedules would be posted soon.

One interesting note was everyone over 18 will need to join at 40.00 each.  No more family membership.

I looked and it had been 35.00 for the family the last few years.   Guess if the wife and son want to fish it is 120.00 now.

Well Andy is one hard guy to beat
Congradulations to him.
Looks a little more rugged with the beard these days. I bet the guy on Woodland will think twice
before shooting up the boat agian.

Dartag - not sure if that is correct.  I know they need to have registration forms for everyone over 18 that fishes because of how their insurance and liability is structured because of all the changes in laws and such.  They have to be able to "reproduce" a unique identity for everyone that fishes that is over 18.  I think they are still honoring the family memberships just like before - just need paperwork for everyone.

Got this from Mitch Smith   ( no relation )


"  Anyone under 18 is still free, however a new federal law requires us to have a membership with all members over 18 this year for tax purposes. So your wife would have to pay another $40 membership fee. "

[jcox7]

Dartag,
     That is correct if your child or wife is over 18 then they will have to be a paid member.  That is one of the very few changes that will be happening this year.  Most everything else would be seen as very cool and good things the fact that wives or husbands now have to pay for a membership well that is just politics while an organization is growing.

Are the tournament schedules available? If so when can we get a copy?

[Victor Cerabone]

Some of the schedules are up on the new website.  There are more being added every day.

The Motor City Inland Challenge now has a Facebook page.  Here is the link if you would like to check it out:

 Is the new website the same as the old web site? If not???

[dartag]

I see some updates but nothing in like years past.  I know new org and all.  If my son didn't like to fish the Monday nights with the Cowen family i am not sure I would even join.  They make it worth while. 

[Manxfishing]

Yes, It's been Slooooow this year
I did see the Mon night Div. 40 schdule is out.  And the lakes all look good

Victor,
I'm planning on fishing a couple of the Motor City Challanges this year
Just can't make the first one thou.
Other then that what's not to like about Orion, Oakland or Pontiac.

[Victor Cerabone]

@Manxfishing.  I agree... Orion is an awesome lake.  I hope to see you out there.

@Dartag - I agree that Paul's Div 40 is one of the best.

-Vic

[Manxfishing]

@Manxfishing.  I agree... Orion is an awesome lake.  I hope to see you out there.

-Vic

yes it is, For me it's a toss up between Kent or Orion on which lake has bigger fish
But with Orion you know there all LM. And i love LM

I'm really looking forward to fishing the morning bite out there

[dartag]

Orion on a cool rainy day is the best.  No Boom Boom wake board boats swamping you all day.  Kent is best on a hot sunny day along the bike path.

Is it just me, or dose the nbaa website seem a little unfriendly? I hope  nbaa stays  fun and friendly or I am out. From $35 per family too $ 40 per person?  I really enjoy fishing the trail with everyone I have met there. Just how much money TBF must make will determen if I  stay a  member or not
