Register for June 28th

[Revtro]

Hey guys, here's what I have so far:

Boaters:
Seth - US/Canada
Shane - US/Canada
Tom - US/Canada
Chris - US/Canada
Eric - US only
Andy - US only
Joe ??

Non-boaters
Luke - US/Canada
David - US/Canada
Rob - US/Canada
Don - US/Canada
Mark - US/Canada
Rick - US Only

I have not heard back from Jack, Mike.  Steve L. cannot make it.

As for a draw:  I suggest fishing with whoever you like.  Luke and Tom already talked about fishing together.  I imagine since Eric and Rick are fishing US waters only, they will probably end up together.  At this time we could use a few more nonboaters.  Otherwise there will be guys fishing alone. 

BTW- I can't do the pairings.  I'm way too busy at the moment, so if you all could handle it amongst yourselves, that would be great.  We're obviously heavy on the boater side.

Don/Joe - Boaters or nonboaters?  US, Canada??

The Launch
Everyone that weighted in said St. Jean.  So we're officially launching at St. Jean.  It's plenty safe, but remember, if you're bringing a boat, it's $10 to launch there.  There's a man on duty all day, so there shouldn't be any problems with our vehicles.  Take 94 West from 696.  Take 94 to Connor and turn East.  Not far down the road, you'll veer off onto St. Jean.  Take St. Jean until it ends and turn left, then take the next right and you'll drive right into the ramp area.  I suggest Mapquesting it.  See you all there at 6am.

I would rather go as a co.  I'm good for Canada

I'll see you guys there! Can't wait to fish canada for bass. Never fished that far south for them so not familar @ all down there.

[Wolf_fisherman]

Went fishing today b4 the winds got to bad and caught about 10 smallies in front of ballard launch. all in 10 to 13 fow using drop shot with gulp! 3in leech. Partner only got 3 on spinnerbait and they were nice 3 4lb females. The wind drove us off @ 1130.

Updated.  See below.

I'm in for the 28th, can go as non-boater to help round things out, or boat if needed.

I can also do the pairings since I haven't taken my turn yet Let me know if you've already made arrangements to fish with someone.

Could the people going please PM me your phone number in case I have to get a hold of you.

See ya'll on the water

Thanks, Mark

Any no-boaters have Walpole licences?  If we have a north wind, or have had a north wind the S Canada shore will be muddy - and when it is muddy it is a no-go.  If I don't find anything really great, I plan to run across the lake to the N Shore/Walpole area.  No big deal if nobody has Walpole licence, I don't have to go up there, but at the end of June there should be some big dumb ones up in the ditches chasing bait post-spawn.

  Im good for Walpole after this weekend. Im fishing Clair then going over to lakeside to pay my $$$.  I should have it for the BFL's anyway.

Man, these license prices are killing me!  If the South Shore is muddy or if there is predicted to be a North wind that day, I suggest we consider keeping our options of what ramp we launch at flexible.  If the South Shore is wasted, I'm sure everyone would prefer to save the gas money by launching at the cutoff.  Maybe we can make that call as that Saturday approaches.  Just a thought.  I hope the South Shore is good that day because I'm eager to see what it's like in the spring!

[Wolf_fisherman]

Gonna try and get walpole as well next friday. Gonna need it for bfl if i get to fish it just to b safe.

David just had to cancel.  Andy moved to the nonboater side.  Still could use one more if Joe's going.  Joe, are you gonna make it?

I just talked to my dad and he is going to be in town for the weekend. I would really like to take him out if that is O.K. With you guys. That should round things out too.

[Bass_Cat]

Hi Guys,

Here's what I have right now. If you've already fished with someone and want to change, let me know ASAP.

Boater - Non-Boater

Tom - Luke  US/Canada/?
Seth - Mark  US/Canada/Walpole
Shane - Rob  US/Canada/Walpole
Jack - Don  US/Canada/Walpole
Chris - Dad  US/?
Eric -Andy and/or Rick  US Only

Sorry Eric, Andy and Rick but I don't want to limit the guys that have bought Canadian & Walpole licenses. Maybe another boater with US ONLY will call or show up.

If for some reason you can't make it please let me know ASAP so we can pair up other people as needed.

Eric, I need your phone number.

Thanks, Mark

PS. I will have dropshot weights and tube jigs available at the ramp if you are in need of them

[Revtro]

I don't think Jack is coming.  His boat broke down.  You should check with him.

[Wolf_fisherman]

Hay Mark how much are your dropshot weights and sizes u have. In desperate need for some . Dont think I am gonna be able to get somewhere and get some more b4 Saturday

[SethV]

I'm out. 

ProXS is broke.  Went out tonight between the storms.  Ran fine for my first run up the lake.  Went to make another run and it would not get up on pad.  Just went into power-limiting mode.

Man I miss my good old reliable 225 EFI right about now...

Took it over to Wilson Marine and they say 3 to 5 days to get it back.  Great.

Anyone know any other good smart and fast Merc Service Centers?

Seth

[EKennedy]

Hi all...I'll fish with whomever...Rick and I will still plan to drive out together.  I'll fish with Rick or whoever else wants to hopin my boat...just let me know.  If it helps, I could be a non-boater.

Looks like lotsa rain and possible storms...any contingency for a rain out?  Do you even have rain dates?  Hate to drive an hour and burn the gas and then not fish.

my home phone is 248-446-3120 (unlisted...lets keep it that way, and before 8pm please)
my cell is 248-444-4395  just about anytime
messages are fine at either #

Thanks

[BassPlr]

Umm...just wondering if we should reschedule this weekends tourney considering some people are having boat troubles?  We can still do it or not.  I'm ok either way.  I just thought I'd ask everyone.  Weather could be a little iffy at this point too.  Thunderstorms and 30 mph gusts from the SW.  I'm sorry to hear Jack and Seth are having problems.

[Revtro]

Wanna just move it to the 12th?  I'm ok with whatever.  If it's gonna be nasty and we won't have enough boats, maybe we should just postpone.  The weather report seems to be getting worse.  How about we all just go out for wings on Saturday just for fun?  BW2 in Novi??  Whatever you all decide about Saturday is fine with me.
