1st DK Spring Open - Saturday 5/12/07 Lake St. Clair

[Revtro]

In - Boater

[Genie]

I think I can make it to the tourny - I need a reason to get to St Clair anyway!

Sorry - late post Dan ... Shaw was in the the East Bay ... took off from Elk Rapids ... I'm pretty sure I recognized exactly where he was fishing ... I'll have to consult the Genie for sure ... I have some waypoints along with the pictures ...

Im in as a non boater at this time but that could change. and shaw was in the east bay

[djkimmel]

I've got to get back out there... been a few years and I still haven't been out there much. So many bass... so little time...

[spinninbug]

Where is the fall open going to be?  Any thoughts yet?  LSC is just to far for us to go at this time,  but who knows maybe when it gets a little closer and I'm needing my smallie fix we will be able to work it out.  I think next year you should have it on GT Bay!!  Much closer for us westsiders!!

[djkimmel]

Get me more westsiders and anything is possible. I am planning on having the fall event somewhere towards the west side of the state. Not sure how this will affect participation though. You are more spread out and less numerous over there yet. I'll start a thread about  it.

[Genie]

I'm in for the GT Bay or Muskegon Lake.

Put me down as a non-boater, I won't have my motor set by then.

[VinceR]

I'm in as a boater.
Any excuse to go to St. Clair in May. No, wait, I don't need an excuse.

MIBassKid, good to see you at Novi. Glad you decided to make St. Clair. You're going to love it.

Dan, don't start!

[MIBassKid]

Good to see you too Vince, also nice to see Dan. I'm pretty excited about getting out there already. Maybe Vince can put me on some fish again...and catch some this time? haha Stopped by Wayne's booth a pick up a few tubes. Good lookin colors he's making. Has anyone tried his tube in the sand craw??

[djkimmel]

Probably not yet - it's brank spankin' new! I will be giving it plenty of test drives in a little while...

[gothooked]

Sup Dan, glad to see you at  the show, I might be able to five or six boats to show up. I'll be needing to do some smallie fishing after fishing the Ranger Owners Tourn. at Kerr.

[djkimmel]

Kerr should be some good fun too - good luck if I forget to say so before you go.

[cameraguy]

If I don't have to work, I'll be there...I think.  I'll have to check with my wife first.  Sheesh, how things change in a few short years.   

[djkimmel]

Is that a "Who's your daddy" that I hear in the background...??

[motocross269]

I will be there as a Non-Boater.....Do Walleyes count that time of year? Maybe we could do a combo tournament...5 walleyes and 5 Bass...Just kidding..Can't wait.

[Langer]

Count me in as a Non-Boater.  Cant wait!!

[djkimmel]

Great! Should be fun!

Note to Dan:

Suggestions from someone who has run a few Paper tourney's

Make sure everyone is using the same Bump Board - Golden Rule has more then one board. Your anglers should be using the Golden Rule BB 51 - Which is the Bass Bump Board - If they use the walleye or another board their weights will be off.

I can lend you my weigh-in sheets I use that help explain some details.

The ABA is having a golden rule tourney the following weekend and I will make a deal with you Dan....

I will come to yours and help you if you come to mine and help me?

Do we have a deal?

Also if your real nice I will bring a box of BB51 Boards with me that guys can buy .... I can get them cheaper then they probably can.

[djkimmel]

And what makes you think I wasn't planning on bribing and/or tricking you into this already???

Let's talk...
