Funny... I just drew him in the initial boater / non-boater draw!! :o ;D

Just kidding. Probably have to have one boater on boater team and I volunteer to fish with Don Watts...

1Jav... you are more than welcome to come out as a nonboater and get in some good early fall fishing.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Wow it's been a while since I have been on here..Sounds like the tourney is coming together nicely.

Terry and I are still planning to fish,  we haven't made it to the lake yet,  he's working so many hours,  in fact I'm fishing our last tourney on Hamlin tomorrow night with my nephew. 


So Terry is a boater and me I'm just along for the ride...maybe I can ride with FFJeff and just net his fish for him....LOL

Glad you're still going to make spinninbug. I'm excited to have a very nice turnout for this event lined up already.

Spinninbug, you're welcome to join my 11-yr old son and I also. It was a pleasure sharing a boat with ya once last year. There's plenty of room for 3 in my 19' Ranger. Whatever Dan decides....

Thanks fasttrack. We may have to do that with a few boats but there's still some time before a draw is made to see how things wash out. Right now, we are looking pretty good overall in the separate boater/nonboater post I put up yesterday.

Please anyone, let me know ASAP if your status has to change for this event. Thanks.

Nice... just because you almost break your ankle fishing in a guys boat the second time you ever fish with him means... he gets to make fun of you every chance he gets about it.... Mr... do we need to take you to the hospital... I don't want to get sued!!!!

Is the boat launch we are using on the North end of the lake?  There are several on that lake, so I was just curious as to whether or not I was looking at the right one.

NE off of Water St - the biggest ramp on the lake with lots of parking

No problem - whatever works best for you is fine by me. As previously stated, it can be just my son and I or a non-boater can join us. I'm flexible.

Since Waterfoul isn't coming, now FFJeff and I can fight over 'his' spots!!

It hasn't been stated in a while, so just a reminder to others that the City is very proud of the launch and the fee is $10. (Didn't know we had to buy shares of stock just to launch a boat!). Its too weedy to beach boats there so we'll have to launch and take off from out by the narrows or something.

This time of year the tuna boats will be HEAVY.  Make sure to leave yourself some time to get situated.  Like fastrack said, once your boat is launched, there is no place to beach it.  Not sure of the weeds he is talking about - THE LAKE IS BALD.  But it is really shallow with locks of rock so beeching is not really an option.

LOL  Fasttrack... we didn't really do all that well on "His" spots.  I have one spot I'd like to start at, but not sure if we'll get on it first.

"The lake is really bald"  This the same place I fished in July???  there were weeds all over the place.

Not sure what Genie is talking about White Lake has tons of weeds, alot of deep water, and not much rock.
FISH HARD!!!

I guess it is interpretation on what constitutes a weed - living or dead ...

Rocks along the shore right by the boat ramp I think is what he means. It's shallow and mucky off to the sides of the dredged approach to the boat ramp. Fairly safe, but really shallow. We'll probably just move out to the edge of the shallows a little ways from the ramp and stay out of the approach to the various marinas. I'll go over it when we are all there.

What I'm hearing is that the weeds have died off big time this year and there aren't the big thick weed beds like normal. Haven't seen it for myself, but that's what I hear.
