Sorry about that I thought he was talking about the entire lake being bald, rocky, and shallow. I have not been there since spring and was not aware that the weeds died off big time, if thats true the fishing should be tougher than normal. Wish the date would have worked out with my schedual so I could join you guys. Hope you all have a fun tournament and catch alot of nice bass.

FISH HARD!!!

I was very surprised to hear about the weeds. My first reaction is trepidation... but then thinking about it... maybe that will just put more bass on the next available cover items? Guess we'll find out.

Hopefully, the spring DK open will make up for the scheduling conflict. Whenever possible, I will try to avoid a conflict with the popular circuits.

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.

Weeds were very thick last month - sounds like that has changed. I better get out there before the tourney to see for myself (at least that will be my story to my wife)

FFJeff - Yeah, we only did mediocre on waterfouls spots too - never like in practice. I know we'll have plenty of company in the main area, but I have a couple other tricks up my sleeve. We'll see if they pan out. Look forward to meeting you!

Hello all.. I have never fished one of DK's tournaments, debating on joining this one. Like to know how the more experienced DK tournament fishermen feel about a less experienced joiner as a non boater. ???

Genie

Everyone starts somewhere ... come on along!  This is not the type of tournament to get worked up about or worry about not being prepared or experienced enough.  The main purpose is to bring the members of the board together ... oh, and then fish a tournament ...

weeds took a very long time to come up... in fact i think it was over 4th of july or so when we had a week of hot weather and they literally went from nothing to full bloom in like 5 days. haven't been there in while, but mid july they were about normal i would say

Marya, we are happy to have you, this is a "come as you are" kind of tournament.  Like Genie said we all started somewhere.  Tournament fishing can be a great learning experience, especially a tournament like this one.  This will be a laid back, have good time event and it is a great opportunity to experience tournament style fishing and perhaps learn some new techniques or a new body of water.  Please don't hesitate to sign up.

bob o

can we use a drop shot rig on this lake or is the dnr being all crabby about it?

djkimmel

My official public opinion has to be: It is illegal to use a drop shot on White Lake without a 3" dropper. Let's please leave it at that on the message board. This is a fun, low-key tournament for members to get together and make a bunch of casts.

And I hope marya decides to fish since she had to miss out on last spring. She hasn't been fishing a while and I know she's caught some big bass before (and needs to do so some more).

I was just on white lake last Sunday, and it is full of weeds.  Very thick just about everywhere.  Drop shotting is not allowed by DNR regs unless you have a 3 inch dropper. :-[

Firefighter Jeff

I fished White for the second time last Friday.  Ummm  Hope I get a non boater that knows how to catch fish.  I stunk.  Only a few fish.  How did you do Mike ????

Cmon marya... you know most of us anglers are great guys... and gals. We have both coming already!

As far as the weeds 'issue'... maybe I don't have reliable sources?? Maybe it's a half full verses half empty situation?? Either way, we'll be there on September 20th. And I'm sure some of us will catch them!!

Saturday was a joke.  I've been trying to spend more time on White than Muskegon.  Two weekends ago I found a spot where I caught several nice largemouths, and a real nice smallie.  Will definitely be a spot to try on tournament day.  I also fished a spot that another forum member told me about, but it was really slow Saturday, I'm thinking because of the full moon.  A buddy of mine who fishes a tournament out there every other week told me where hius spots are, so I have a good idea of where to go.

Firefighter Jeff

Slow was not quite the word for it on Friday  !!!!  Grrrrrr     lol
