Hey Mike,

Is it ok to send the $10 entry fee in cash?


Anybody -
Still looking for a back seat - I will split the gas & pay the launch fee.

First off Gringo , I would not suggest sending cash , a check or m.o. would be much safer ! sending cash right now is this economy might cause some mail guy to lose his job over a free lunch ..lol

Secondly , Dude i have been practicing all winter long on my casting skillz and i wanna let you know that im coming after your two year in row casting title ..So i hope you have your game face on, MASTERCASTER !

Hey mark check with Fishnlife for a backseater he looking !

Not recommended (from a former letter carrier!) but if you do be sure to have it in a security envelope that keeps the contents hidden. Whatever you're comfortable with is fine.

I think he is wanting to backseat.

First off Gringo , I would not suggest sending cash , a check or m.o. would be much safer ! sending cash right now is this economy might cause some mail guy to lose his job over a free lunch ..lol

What if I send the cash in a birthday card with a pink envelope and put "From Grandma" on the return address? Would it be safer then?:flower:

Secondly , Dude i have been practicing all winter long on my casting skillz and i wanna let you know that im coming after your two year in row casting title ..So i hope you have your game face on, MASTERCASTER !

Practice all you want, that casting contest is already in the bag - I spent the winter practicing down on the waterfront. I can hit a rat on the run at 50 paces.:rambo: Besides I have already cleared space for the loot I am going to win this year!

Hey mark check with Fishnlife for a backseater he looking !

Let me rephrase - I am looking for an open seat (milk crate, 5 gallon bucket, whatever). Basically I am offering up to someone, the privilege of being able to say "and he did it on my boat:cheers: " when I bring in top fish in both categories

[Bigbass Dez]

WHATEVA , Mark WHATEVA !! If Your only good at hitting running rats then the beach on lk sammy is considered a RAT FREE ZONE ..(untill night falls8-[ ) ...And dont worry about the hundreds of people watching you cast (no pressure) Dont worry about the ESPN LIVE coverage of the casting contest (no pressure)

As a matter of fact im glad you have already claimed victory , This automaticly makes me the underdog (less pressure for me) My neighbors think im weird for flipn of my back deck (less pressure) I tell them things like , I gotta beat Mark this year ! they say things like if you break a window we are calling the cops (less pressure)

Latest update , im now unable to lay my jig "behind" a tree 30ft away !! WHATEVA ! Mark WHATEVA! :rambo:

IS THAT MARK I SEE MESSING AROUND WIT BIGSHARK DEZ!!

Just Announced: Silver Horde will be donating gear, as well as Swede and Fishing Collector who are donating new gear for the raffle afterward. Field Designs are donating some product as well.

Please guys, let's get those registration forms in the mail. We need to start firming up some numbers. The prizes and raffle (part of the event, no extra cost) are really starting to grow!

Just to rehash some main points:

You don't need a boat. You don't have to have insurance on your boat for under 16 ft or less than 10 HP motors. Disregard that part of the registration form. You can register the day of the event for $12, but we REALLY are encouraging pre-registering by mail. If you're under 18 you do need a permission note from a parent.

Your $10 entry fee will be more than returned from our sponsors angler gift pack that you'll get at check in. You can check in at the boat launch for bigger boats, or, if you're shore fishing or tubing/pontooning you can check in at the State Park beach area. I will be there at park opening to set up and check people in there.

Only two weeks to go - see you there!

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!

We have decided to reschedule this year's Derby/BBQ event to July 19th (Sunday).

The reason for the rescheduling is we have just not seen the numbers of anglers commit that we had hoped to see. I unfortunately did not realize back in the fall that the 23rd was Memorial Day weekend, and I think that is having a dampening effect on numbers of people able to commit. So my apologies for the poor scheduling to start with.

Anyone that has submitted an entry form and check will have it returned to you.

The July 19th event will be the same - Bass and Trout derby followed by awards and a WL.com BBQ event. On the plus side, the weather will be much nicer and the park won't be quite so crazy. This date is actually the same as last year's WL.com picnic.

We will modify the entry forms and start asking for members to submit their paperwork so we can have a good idea of numbers attending.

Thank you all for your understanding, and again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

[Bigbass Dez]

I think this was a good call Mike , Now that we dont have to compete against the holiday we will have a much better turn out in july ..

[A9]

Agreed with Bigbass Dez. I think folks had Memorial Day weekend plans which prevented a lot of people from being able to show up to the Derby/Extravaganza.

I look forward to the event, I wasn't going to be able to make it to the May date, but July 19th will probably work with me.

Ok, I got my calander changed for the new date.

[BassFanatic]

Thank's for the heads up Mike, Makes it a little easier on my schedule. I'm really looking forward to being there in July.

Your the only reason we changed it. Glad you'll be able to make this one brutha.

I think with the Holiday and peoples schedules we are better off doing this on July 19th. Good call Mike. Kids are out for Summer and we're not competing with a major Holiday. Only down side is the trouters will be at a disadvantage. But, I'm sure they'll still be catchable.

Look for the New Thread for our July 19th Extravaganza and Derby.
