Paulywood Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for running this Jon. I would encourage anyone who has never fished this to give it a try.
Killin' It Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 It is a very enjoyable group of events.. Beating Motion Show for the year is even more enjoyable! I am going to enjoy saying that till May:)
Plugs Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Dave - We were the Newbies in the league, just getting to fish against you was an honor:lol: - besides, we misread the rules and were only running two rods all year:D - hopefully with 9 rods we will be able to kick it up a notch!
Killin' It Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Shane,I was ridding the down rigger down 90' and catching them with my bare hands. You have no excuses. Hope to see some new faces this year!
Gnarf Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Shane' date='I was ridding the down rigger down 90' and catching them with my bare hands. You have no excuses. Hope to see some new faces this year![/quote'] Thats not fair. They prolly just keeled over when they saw your ugly mug and were easy to catch.
N II Deep Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Keep up the smack talk boys, We really want to grow the league this year to an average of 20 boats. so get the word out.I really enjoy being able to have the fun poking with each other during this event. A win in league is not going to make you rich, it may pay for your gas. but it is what we can learn from each other at the end of the event by sharing information.the way I look at it, I'm going to fish, why not get a chance to hang out with a few people at the end that share a common interest.
joelsanders Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 And a trophy with my face on it!!! I'M IN!!

Right on Jon. Looking forward to this season. Thanks for managing it. Had a great time fishing w/ Motion Show last year on a few events. Hope to have my boat in a few of this years events. Gotta help Shane knock Dave off the top of that list.
Killin' It Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Anyone want to make a year long 20 dollar bet for big fish at a WMFL event?Rumor has it that Motion show has an unfair advantage, They will dress Marty up in a fish outfit and try to weigh him.
hourlate Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I'd have a hard time fitting in the basket at weigh-in. We're not really all that worried about knocking Dave off. The 1 foot chop will be enough to scare him off most days
N II Deep Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 I'm in on the $20 side pot for biggest fish for the year. Kevin (FBD) can I borrow one of your girls during weight in?
jimbobber Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 how many scores do you need for the year I cant fish on three of the dates also aug 16 th is the lady steelheaders tourney again.
Killin' It Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 You can fish 1 or all... or any combination.
DIRTY DOG Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Is there anything for the most points at the end of there yr , or is each one it's own tourny?
N II Deep Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Terry,We are going to do a trophy and maybe a prize pack depending on the sponsors. Our plan is to take each boats top 3 for point totals. We don't plan to take any extra moneys for this, again it's just for fun and bragin' rights.
Far Beyond Driven Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 A win will put money in your pocket if you win in a 14' row boat.For the record, we left a laker bite at five fish in the first event ( also in a 14' row boat) to look for Brown's, not knowing it was weigh six. And that let Dave win the season title.
DIRTY DOG Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Thank Jon, just asking becouse I was thinking of setting up a team again depending on my work schedule .
hell_hound Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 hey Jon it was fun to fish with ya last year out of Muskegon. Maybe able to fish Holland some this year as well. Keep up the great work. You guys are all fun to hang with and fish with!
Duraflame Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I'll be in on as many dates I my wife will let me.
jdeck Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I will try to make them all this year,finally adding a probe so maybe I can hang with you guys this year.Heres to spring coming soon.Thanks Jon for putting this together again
Killin' It Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 J Deck, I never use a probe... You don't need it.... It is a fun league anyone has a chance to win:) Don't worry I stopped by FBD house and took the 16 # brown he had swimming in the aquarium.
