Family members must still be a registered member if 13 or older. 17 years or younger must be participating with a parent or legal guardian. Exceptions to this will need to be discussed with me in advance.

If signing up a family member younger than 16 for this event, they must fish with a parent or legal guardian. You will need to contact me by PM or phone 810-433-BASS or  email to set this up in advance.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Nonboaters, bring life jackets if you can to make sure we have enough.

I try to make sure there are as few boats as possible with no one that knows the water. I also like to have a mini-seminar before we launch on where to fish. If someone really needs help they can follow me. Fish right by me.

If you have anything new or like new you'd like to donate for prize giveaways, please contact me.

This event is all about everyone catching some fish, having fun and getting to know each other!!! Thank you for being members of GreatLakesBass.com.

Post that you are attending and if attending as a boater or nonboater in this thread please.

I'm in as a Boater....I may have some issues with work like I talked to you about in my PM Dan but I will keep you up to date as time gets closer....

No babies forecasted for May of 2011 - for some reason my wife thought that fishing 18 hours after the birth of our 3rd baby girl was "pushing it"; I thought the sleep deprivation and anesthesia combination with a strategically placed discussion could get it done but she picked up on my agenda right away....

Dan - you forgot to mention in your post that you were doing the draw lottery picks based on sign up order; so as the 1st official non-boater I get the 1st pick in 2011 DK Open Boater Draft!

Unless I have someone who specifically says they want to fish with you...

[mikesmiph]

Veronica and I will plan on being there.

Me too - clean, clear, calm, warming water would be quite the weigh in probably!

[djkimmel]

I'm in, of course, as a boater.

[Cy]

I'm in as a non-boater, unless we need boaters come May.

[djkimmel]

We should be okay as long as the East side boaters sign up well.

Don't forget your crankbaits.   I'm tryin to show him drop shot and tube fishing.   He wups me real bad with a little crankbait.   I only own 3 crankbaits and the bass did not like them.   

I'll be there with boat,    for more lessons from the west siders.

I don't go anywhere with my cranks!  One pointer for you Steve, cranks work best when you don't bounce the fish off the side of the boat three times trying to flip them in.

You guys going to newton again?

[stackenem]

[TCook]
