Spring 2008 DK Open Dates Poll

[djkimmel]

The 2008 Spring DK Open will be on Lake St. Clair out of Harley Ensign Ramp. All we need to do is pick a date. Here are the two dates I can hold the event. Not ideal for everyone, I realize, but as usual, our short season forces many compromises.

I would like to piggy back with ABA, but I realize this causes a conflict for some with the NBAA regionals, so I offer a 2nd choice to see if there is a majority opinion for this choice.

[djkimmel]

I knew May was more complicated than I was remembering - sorry EBA - I think I may be fishing with them on Saturday May 10. I'll have to see what their final plans our. I would still like to see what the poll results are so I can make a decision that attempts to meet everyones' needs.

I am sure you cannot satisfy everyone.  Just a note that the NBAA Championship is May 13-17 on the Ohio River.  The EBc will be getting together this weekend, so I 'll relay the conflict and see what we can do to reschedule.

[VinceR]

Yeah, that knocks me out. I'll be leaving for KY (NBAA Championship) on the 10th (or 11th), and I won't be returning until the 18th. 

Have fun guys!

how about may 3rd on Kent.  even the little boat guys will like that one.  i think ABA is there on sunday.

[JCOOPER]

It needs to be on a Sunday.

Im out may 10th through the 18th for NBAA nationals and the 24th for saginaw bay, Id like to see it on st clair again lots of options there for weather and small boats plus I think the fishing will be no less than twice as good as an inland lake.

I am not going to vote for a date I don't want to Skew the results if I can't make it....I will try to be there though..

[MadWags]

NBAA Nationals as well.

[djkimmel]

Are there many anglers who would fish May 3rd (has to be a Saturday - too many of the regular participants can only do Saturday)?

[dartag]

you pick they day and they will come.  or not

[Skip Johnson]

I like may 3rd and I prefer a saturday.

I like may 3rd becouse it wont be as much of a site fishing tournament as it would be a pre spawn on st clair.

If its on an inland lake then it will be all sight fishing becouse the water warms faster on the inland lakes and guys will be going over the same fish and as I found out last year on kent lk theres always somebody upset about that in a paper tournament.

sundays I like to rest up for another long work week...I hate fishing tournaments on sundays!!!!

[Team houston]

I agree with everything CastnBlast said.

[VinceR]

I could probably do May 3rd. Saturdays also work well for me. I don't mind fishing on Sundays if it's local (less than an hour away), but for anything further than that, I'd much rather fish on Saturday (especially on BIG water).

[Revtro]

The 3rd is good with me.  I can do any of the dates.  Perhaps we should put the 3rd in the poll and reset it??

[MadWags]

3rd works for me.

[motocross269]

3rd would probably work better for me also...Walleyes will be running hard that week....Do they count???   I would hate to have to put a walleye in the "junk" fish category..

[djkimmel]

I'm sure this drives some of you crazy, but I added May 3rd - I keep getting an itch about it, but I find nothing on my calendar definite (cross my fingers).

I made an allowance that you can change your original vote. We have time to do this as best we can. Thanks for your patience and participation.

I voted for the 10th, because slamming several tourneys together in opening weekend would probably pu me further in debt than I can afford.  But, if you are changing to the 3rd, I can do the 3rd instead of the 10th.  Just change my vote.
