I can't wait.

You and Bess should plan on that tactic this year, I look forward to seeing you there.

We have received some paid entries already so we are on pace for another great year!
Bess and Potter were the first to get theirs in! (that doesn't sound right)

We figured if we were the first to send in the entry, we would get first in the tourney.  Being first is better than being second....

I was thinking I would post something about the first team to send in thier entry could be first boat out or something like that, then I got the mail....

We will have a drawing for a skunk pot in case your plan falls through.

Hey Willie , is there an off-limits for this one?

Last year we had the entire weekend and week before the tournament off limits, I really think it was a benefit to fish and anglers. We haven't decided on it yet but will post an off limit period well in advance. Thanks for bringing it up Shawn.

Regarding an off limit period, we will not be able to impose off limits due to the fact that there are too many entry forms out there without any wording about it on them, seems there is always something to overlook and this happens to be the one that got away. With that said I would like to suggest that we don't beat them up beforehand.
Also want to remind everyone about the discovery pass issue, on top of the $7.00 launch fee we all must either have a yearly discover pass or pay the extra $10.00 at the meter. I believe there is another park pass that will cover state park fees but I am not sure how it is named. The new ranger at the park let me know that they will be enforcing it so please don't blame anyone but yourself if you are ticketed. Most of us don't like the added fee but it's been in place since last July and we need to comply.

I want to thank everyone that showed up yesterday, I guess when you have a tournament in February your rolling the dice on what the weather will do and we got snake eyes yesterday!
What a day, with only 4-5 areas on the lake that were somewhat sheltered from the never ending wind it was tough to find something to fish and when you did you really had a tough time getting a bait down to present it in a way they would bite, at least for us anyway.
We had the first repeat winners this year.
Big fish, 3.35 Johnson and Cooper
1st place, Greg Johnson, John Cooper, 8.12 lbs
2nd place, Mike Wolsky, Ron Hobbs, 7.53 lbs
3rd place, Jordan Doucet, Chris Rider, 7.14 lbs
4th place, Shawn McDaniel, Jaymee Strasbaugh, 5.58 lbs
5th place, Mike Hastings, Frank White, 5.38 lbs
28 boats, 4 limits, 23 fish caught, 2 dead fish, 11 boats caught fish, 17 skunked
Thanks again to all the sponsors that made this happen, I will list them all in the tournament group.

Willie,  it was still a great event in spite of the weather.  I however scored it a little different.  Mother nature 28, bass fisherman 0.......  She definitely beat the hell out of everyone....  congrats to the winners and those that stuck it out...  We came in about 1:30, and threw our only fish back before weigh in.  By that time more than half the field had already left, and we were soaked to the bone and flat just freezing.  Had plenty of bites but with the conditions could only manage 1 in the boat.
