Thanks for the feedback Don. Yeah with the beach getting cold not sure if that is going to help or hinder. But I would have to believe that they will start stacking soon. Maybe with this rain filtering down the river may change some things as well. 1- Tad Pole(MS)Confirmed 2- DMG Confirmed 3- Dirty Dog(GLF) Confirmed 4- 1 Mainiac (GLF) Confirmed 5- Fishsnifer(GLF) Confirmed 6- Hollandpiper(MS) Confirmed 7- Sea-mac(GLF) Confirmed 8- Marrble eyes(MS)Confirmed 9- Unreel(GLF) Confirmed 10- tltorrice(GLF) Confirmed 11- Gadget(MS) 12- BottomsUp75 13- Red Eye Confirmed 14- Sixshooter(MS) Confirmed 15- Severus(MS) Confirmed 16- Oakley(MS) Confirmed 17- Jeepfan(MS) 18- RambleOn(MS) Confirmed 19- the8point(GLF) Confirmed 20- dcralston(GLF) 21- Umpqua.(MS) 22- FishTaco (MS) 23- Kirby (MS) 24- 25- 26- 27- 28- 29- 30- Teams Not Able To Make It: 1.

What do you guys think? If the wave forcast ends up being bad, Do we still have the event? It is looking like we will have the option to fish Muskegon Lake the way the weather is shaping up? Just looking for feedback on the possibility? -Jim 1- Tad Pole(MS)Confirmed 2- DMG Confirmed 3- Dirty Dog(GLF) Confirmed 4- 1 Mainiac (GLF) Confirmed 5- Fishsnifer(GLF) Confirmed 6- Hollandpiper(MS) Confirmed 7- Sea-mac(GLF) Confirmed 8- Marrble eyes(MS)Confirmed 9- Unreel(GLF) Confirmed 10- tltorrice(GLF) Confirmed 11- Gadget(MS) 12- BottomsUp75 13- Red Eye Confirmed 14- Sixshooter(MS) Confirmed 15- Severus(MS) Confirmed 16- Oakley(MS) Confirmed 17- Jeepfan(MS) 18- RambleOn(MS) Confirmed 19- the8point(GLF) Confirmed 20- Tunedown(MS) 21- Umpqua.(MS) 22- FishTaco (MS) 23- Kirby (MS) 24- 25- 26- 27- dcralston(GLF) 28- 29- 30- Teams Not Able To Make It: 1.

I'm going to let the polls run till labor day then I will send up the final event post around that time. Thanks for your support. -Jim

Also on Another Note. Something I didn't probably do a good enough job with is reminding everybody of the Siggs Rigs competition. Siggs Rigs Fly Sponsor Game Siggs Rigs Leader= Team Nailer- 9.4lb. King This is how it works: Whatever team catches the biggest fish on a Siggs Rigs fly with a picture on that event day and post your picture in the result thread. Will receive 3 new Siggs Rigs flies and the team with the BIGGEST fish of the year. Will receive a $50.00 gift card for Siggs Rigs from Matt from Siggs Rigs.

So as we discussed, the event will be held on SUNDAY SEPT. 7th. We will start at 6AM and pull lines at NOON. What rules would you like to use?? Old rules (different points for different species) New rules (10pts per fish)

Thanks to everybody for participating in the event. Thanks for making things run fairly smoothly for our first run!

The wave reports I'm seeing right now are showing 1 to 3's for tomorrow. I say lets go FISHING. -Jim

I'm sorry you have a bad feeling. What exactly is it that is a bad feeling? Is it the weather? We have been doing this fishing league for over 5 years now. Rich has done a fantastic job in doing such. We have two events left and the weather has played a major role in how things turned out. It was my mistake to even tell Mike of the suggestion to move it back to snug harbor. If I hadn't mentioned that to him he would have heard about it the first time at the captians meeting where we all could have expressed our likes, or concerns on the date, times, and boat launch facilities. Like I've stated all along NOTHING is totally set, Want to get everybodies input before we set things. If that is worthy of a bad feeling about the league then I appolagize. Otherwise lets go fishing. -Jim
