[djkimmel]

2007 Fall DK Open - Lake Ovid
Saturday, September 29, 2007
Launch: 8:30 AM
Sleepy Hollow State Park:  517-651-6217
7835 Price Rd
Laingsburg, MI 48848

Here's the initial random draw for participants that I have as coming - we have one extra boat so far and I drew odd man out, but I'm sure we can find at least one more person by Saturday:

Boater cfruel............ VinceR........... Durand Dan..... MadWags....... yukonjack2..... Bender........... stackenem...... Dan Kimmel.....

Nonboater fiker50 MIBassKid Ryan mojo Jay-MadWags Hooksetter dashaver63 fowlmouth

I won't change the draw unless something happens to someone. Let me know.

Please be at the boat ramp by 8 AM. The main entrance opens by 8 AM and I expect it will be open a little earlier than that which means the shortcut night entrance off of Shepardsville will be closed (see Mapquest.com map link for park above).

UPDATED

[djkimmel]

Forgot something important. Entry fee is $7 total per person with $2 of that being big bass.

We will fish until no later than 2:30 PM.

I think Vince put a little money in Dan's pocket for this draw...He doesn't care about winning, he just wants redemption from Wixom.  Just kidding Vince, we're going to kill 'em out there.

[MadWags]

As long as I have my mojo your all toast.

[djkimmel]

This should be interesting...

[fowlmouth]

Dan, ya got room for 1 more? my plans for the duck opener have changed, I can go boater or non

[dashaver63]

Madwags, bring all the mojo you can carry, I love a challenge. 

[djkimmel]

All the mojo he'll have probably weighs only about 180... I don't know if he can carry that much or not. We'll find out...

Sure, we got room. You'll have to fish with me though. I'm all that is left. I have to bring my boat anyway. I have a leak that I need to track down after the event on the water. A hose or pump is probably broken. Don't worry. We won't sink. It's a Ranger and I have 3 pumps. Another Lake Erie exacerbation.

I don't want to switch people around if I don't have to so let's leave it like it is, how about?

[Mojo]

Time to put down the ol tuber & drop shot rods and get back to good ol hunting fish !

I need to perform a new trailer ritual so only GOOD Mojo gets on the boat at the dock. Madwags - we will have a blast 

Dont forget your Frog fishin rod guys. Remember last year the fun we had with those blow ups in the guewy stuff  ?!!

Guys:

With this being a state park, and the looming political stalemate in lansing on the budget, I saw that one of the shutdowns was state parks.  Can we still get in the park, or is there going to be a locked gate?  Is ther an alternate launch we might plan for?

Jack, the shutdown (if it occurs) won't take effect until Monday, Oct. 1. The parks will be open through the weekend.

And fellows, Lake Ovid is PEA SOUP, top to bottom!

[djkimmel]

We can get in on Saturday... but PEA SOUP!!! Vince, we didn't need to know that. Although, if it has been pea soup for a few days, we may be okay. I've done really bad there in pea soup, and really good too.

[Cy]

Pea Soup Sucks!!!  It's probably too late for a change of venue?  I guess we will have to make the best of it.

[dashaver63]

I fished Ford last Saturday and that's where all my fish came from was the thick, almost paint-like slimy stuff. couldn't get bit anywhere else.

OOOOOOH! Pre fishing are we Vince?
For a tournament that has a $7.00 entry fee?
Why I oughta.......
Actually I did some virtual pre fishing today.
I found the cover in the lake that is very close to what Ovid has and was very successful in my practice.
I am confident that with my boat having the mojo we will prevail.

[VinceR]

Shhhhh, Dave. I was kind of hoping that nobody would pick up on that.

Besides, after Jason threw down that challenge, I figured I better come ready to back it up.

[Jay-MadWags]

Looking forward to meeting everybody at Ovid.  I'm sure a great time will be had by all. . .  But I'm still coming after you Vince, even if I have to fish in Pea Soup. 

I hope you're ready YukonJack!

See you all there!

[Durand Dan]

Ryan,
Sounds like this is turning into a minature FLW tournament!    I hope your ready 

[yukonjack2]

oh - I'm ready to load the boat!   WAtch out for that mojo - only cost me $500 last time(only kidding mike).
