FM bass league canceled...

[Deitz Dittrich]

Via E-mail to me..

7.Ray Esboldt and partner...however there was one event he couldnt make.

[Captain B.R.K]

Roll call for us (partner and I)....just can't make the June 18th event. Otherwise the others look pretty darn good!

[Ray Esboldt]

Hey, what happened to the rest of you guys? It looked like we would have to fight for the 15 spots when this thread started. Where you at?

These tournaments will be only modestly competitive. So if you're leary because of lack of experience, you need not be. This will be a learning opportunity for all involved. It's the perfect way to wet your tournament fishing appetite.

[Eye-lander]

Alright Ray, I'm in for sure for the June date. Count me in Dietz. But July is out for I have the same conflict as Ray. I will also commit to the August on Forest Lake. By the way Ray, who are you fishing with in June?

[Mark Christianson]

Committing out that far is impossible with my job now.

I want to do a couple events, but its gonna be touch and go.

I work weekends periodically, and since our last layoff, the weekend work has really increased.

Well, I have to pick my "battles" around some weekends I want off. Basically I need to pick what weekends I REALLY need off, and hope that the other weekends I really to be off can work out. And in a lot of cases, even if I planned a weekend off, I end up working.

Its a major drag now days. Put it this way. My group used to be 10 people. Now its 3. Easy to do the math on that mess.

If you are wondering what I do,,,,,, I work at a computer networking company. Well guess when our customers do big changes???? Yep, on weekends when their employees are not in the office. We get to bust our humps on weekends so that when our customers are back in the office on Monday, they have a nice functioning network.

Sorry for the pseudo-rant.

[Ray Esboldt]

Eye-lander,

I'm with Steve in June. Send me an email today when you have a chance.

Im out also got a new Job where one of my work days is Saturday

BLB if you get Mon, or Wed off due to you working weekends give me a call, and we'll go hit the river!!

[Mark Christianson]

That might very well be possible. We take comp days during the week(if possible). Sounds like a great idea to me.

For the FM thing, I will play it by ear as the weekends come around and see what might work out.

[Ray Esboldt]

I feel your pain, Mark. Work is for suckers, and we all have to be one. I hope you can make all the events.

[Eye-lander]

Ray, you have mail.

[Slyster]

I said up above somewhere I was interested.. backing out (as of now) ... joining a leauge through our church- Eagle Brook Church. Have fun everyone and keep us up on how you do!

[Forestlaker]

I should be able to make the Forest Lake event.

All others I have conflicts with. Probably, will not need a partner.

[Chris-Neises]

Is it to late to sign up?

[PikeBayCommanche]

I am probably going to have to withdraw from the tourneys because I am selling my boat.

[Captain B.R.K]

Dietz & Cory- Any new news to report for this league?

We are only talking a few weeks from this Saturday!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Capt- I have sent an e-mail off to Corey... still waiting on a reply.

I have talked to Ray Esboldt and we may have a back up plan... With one FM bass tournament instead of the 4... I'll post it here as I know more?

[Deitz Dittrich]

With the lack of intrest, i'm going to have to probably call off this season of tournaments...

I propose this... to see if we get the intrest...

1 FM bass tounament... Aug 26th... Forest Lake....

$40 a boat, any intrest?

[Slyster]

That's too bad Deitz! Was a great idea. I couldn't help out since I am getting invovled in a church fishing league. Good effort.. have a great season!

[ocf]

I thought it was a great idea also but i dont have a boat so i would not be able to participate

[Captain B.R.K]

To bad to hear, but I wasn't able to make the 1st one and I sure didn't want Dietz to have a leg up on me right away

I'll take a look at that date. I want to say I'll be in Canada the week before and so getting away for 3 weekends in a row might be tough. I'll keep a vibe on the new link for updates.
