I'm in.  Non-boater since I've never fished it and probably cannot make it before then.

[djkimmel]

No problem and thanks.

[chrisvmo]

Im in, I'll bring my boat too since its not to far. Hopefully a little better showing than last year at Hardy!


9/10/09 - had to pull out due to unforseen circumstances

lodging, where is everyone staying? i'm thinking of making the trip from livonia but i need to know if we have a hotel/motel or campground picked out for the weekend?
i have that weekend open and as a boater would be happy to take a westsider out for a schooling on white lake. i've never fished it but it is on my bucket list.

[djkimmel]

It's a great bucket list lake! I'm just going over for the day and usually when I have stayed, it's been at Muskegon.

There's the Muskegon State Park. There is a campground closer to White Lake I stayed at many years ago off US-31? I'll look it up this evening. Maybe one of the westsiders can suggest a decent motel in the area since I have no recent experience in that area?

[thedude]

there's a super 8 right off the interstate in montague 5 min from the lake.

[bob o]

this looks like where i'll be staying

All I did was google Montague, MI Motel.

I have never stayed at any of these places so I have no idea how nice they are but I always think....I only have to sleep there.

As far as I know I am open that entire weekend...so if anyone wants to grab a beer or soda and talk fishin' or go fishin' shoot me a PM or email.

Count me in as a boater.  Do I need to bring a partner as well for the draw part of it or are there people who need a ride?

Count me in as a non-boater.  Sounds like a good time.

[Durand Dan]

It looks like I have rejoined the ranks of the revenue enhanced Michiganders. Count me in as a boater!!

[djkimmel]

Great to hear Dan!!

You can bring someone if you know about someone who is a GreatLakesBass.com member, or who will join, and wants to fish. I think we are doing pretty good on boats right now. We can always use more anglers, but you don't have to bring anyone if you don't want to.

[bassfan586]

I'm in as boater with deep diver as my non boater.

Well at this point I'm open to either since I know I can get Martin to fish with me (he's a member here and a regular partner of mine).  BUT... if you need an open back seat for someone I'd be willing to be a boater only and make sure everyone gets a seat if you have more non-boaters than boaters.  Let me know.

Everyone please keep in mind the main goal of this tournament is to get to know someone else on the site and to fish with someone you don't normally fish with.  That's most of the fun, fishing or winning is just a great bi-product.

[djkimmel]

I think we are doing pretty good on boaters at this time so bring him along and hopefully, he'll enjoy the chance to fish with someone else maybe? Let me know.

if we end up with too many boaters i'll fish alone. if that is possible.

it looks like i will be wrapping up the tail end of the 24hr drive back from canada sometime on the 20th... so its not likely i will make it this year .
Hoping to make the east side again next spring.

[Durand Dan]

Due to a shoulder/arm injury it looks like my fishing is done for the season.  I'm going to have to back out of the fall open. Sorry
