FM Bass Fishing Event Announcement

[Slyster]

We should plan ONE more of these this season.. time is running out... this will be so fun!.. and some suggested they wish they could have been part of this.. perhaps an event on WBL in Sept or something? Ray?

[Slyster]

FRS/GRMS RADIO:

If you have one.. bring your FRS/GRMS radio!

And TUNE to Ch15 (high power if you have it).. we will be on that channel.. just for kicks and giggles. (I don't have a marine band radio..)

[Deitz Dittrich]

Little boats may have a huge advantage.... Forest Has a lot of shallow water, that is for sure... and.. .I just got back from filling the tank on the boat... $97

That's okay Dietz because I will be contributing to your gas budget when I show up this weekend.

Can't wait to be schooled on all the winning tactics. See you all Saturday.

I can second that thought Deitz!! For the past two years I have fished the frankie's events out there. Sad to say that my partner and I finished 27th this year and 28th last year . A little side note .... I was out pre-fishing the other day and by a fluke chance I caught a couple nice walleyes .... mmmm they are going to taste good .

[st.crioxfishin]

You gotta dig the small boats! I have a 16 ft 1985 smoker craft w/ a 30hp motor. Trying to be humble, but prove a point, I'm in 1st place for angler of the year in my club so far this year, the little boats get into the little areas!

I will not be in this boat for the tournament, we are using my friends boat, this may be a bad omen

Im really looking forward to tomorrow and meeting and learning some new things from the people here at FM. Should be very fun!

[Ray Esboldt]

Is everyone cool with everything for tomorrow? I'll check the site and my email around 8:00 PM tonight for any last minute questions. Make sure you all fill out the form I emailed the team captains. And, read the rules one more time.

See you tomorrow. About 21 hours from now we'll know who the best bass fisherman at FM.com is...on Forest Lake...on August 12th, 2006...for the conditions that are presented to us. In other words, I'll grant you bragging rights until Monday morning.

[Matt Johnson]

I'm rigged and ready! Now I just need to find a way to fall asleep... that early morning alarm is going to come quick

See everyone in the morning!

[Ray Esboldt]

Matt,

Diet Caffeine Coke and Captain Morgan's will put you to sleep.

It's 4:22am and just checking the topic for any last minute details. See you all in an hour or so. Good luck and have fun!

[Captain B.R.K]

It's about 30 minutes until weigh in and the results will be official! I'm bummed out that I wasn't able to make this event, but looking forward to hearing about the success and tips/keys that everyone used to boat their fish.

[ocf]

im with ya brk, this is gonna be a good one

[ocf]

ok the weigh in should be getting done any minute and then im guess(hopin) that someone post somethin in like an hour

[Shawnny B]

Well it was a blast as you can imagine, all I have to post is this pic of our large fish, although they said it did not count, it was caught shallow and on a comida. I will let Ray or Dietz do the acutaly posting of weights.

[ocf]

ok, i gettin anxious

[ocf]

i wonder who won???

[Deitz Dittrich]

Just got back home.. and Ray has the official results.. it was a very fun time... I know I ended up in 5th place.. with 11.82 lbs.. I know 4th has 11.90 pounds.. The winner was bob downy(st.croixfishn) and his partner Sam Rada, a huge congrats to them.. well deserved!!!!.. i talked with them and they will be writing up what they did to catch their fish...

Ray Esboldt and his brother got 2nd...

3rd was Jeff Audette(Chisago Dock Sitter)

I got my fish throwing a Rapala DT7, boated about 8 fish in about 15 mins early in the tournament.. I managed to cull a few fish on docks and then again out deep on cranks... I fished isolated weed clumps in 7-9 feet of water. SOunds like the winning weights came shallow!

Th winds were bad, gusting to 20+ MPH if I had to guess at times..

Great job by all.. I had a wonderfull time, it was so great to meet so many people that I now call family on the boards here.. Slyster,if you would please... post that pict we took at the end!

Also.. Mr.Downy.. check out your new FM title when you post... hope you do not mind!

Look under your name on the left hand side...
