Updated the original post.  A few changes for this year, first will be $1,000 guranteed and we are also have big bass at $500 guranteed.  We still have the largmouth big bass bounty, it is $150 at 25 boats but we are working with a few sponsors to try and get that guranteed as well.  Hopefully with the later date this year we'll have better weather and less conflicts.
Thanks, Matt

Trophies are in, 1st Place and Big Bass.  Only 35 days!!!

Got out on the bay monday for a few hours.  They are early pre-spawn, the cold nights have pushed back what I thought would be an early spring up there.  Only found one bedding fish about 3.5lbs.  We ended up with 21lbs and some change with big fish going 4lbs 12oz.

Turnout is looking good, talked to a few new guys at the ramp this week who said they are coming.  A lot of guys out practicing this week, great conditions.

Would like to thank Devin Bond of Freedom Concrete for Donating Gas cards for the 1st-3rd place finishers.  Would also like to thank Todd Kohler for Donating a Leverage landing net for the big bass winner.

With the fish being almost done bedding at Burt/Mullet, I stopped at Saginaw on the way home.  Checked a few groups of fish and was suprised to find some fresh fish that have pulled up since last monday.  I guess the cold lake huron can hold them back a bit.  Looking forward to getting back to some good bed fishing,burt mullet was a grind.

Thanks to nemesis baits for donating a $50 gift certificate towards the largemouth big bass bounty.

Would like to thank Century 21 Row and David Reault for sponsoring the Big Bass prize.
Thanks, Matt

Looks like we should give a big thanks to the Lord also; weather predictions look like the bay is gonna treat us kindly.  In fact, we might have some nearly calm water for a big part of the day.

This could be seriously sweet...

[Lightningboy]

Well, last minute correction on that.  Looks like the bay is gonna get rockin' a little this afternoon.

But tomorrow looks SPECTACULAR!
