Is anything in the works. I'm already Jonesing over here. The quicker I know the date, the quicker I can block it out. Evern with the tough fishing at Gardner, I think I still got bit by the bug.

Hey stinky, I e -mailed Justin earlier this week, and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I think he might be away. But we're working on it.

Pointing dog made a recommendation on the Gardner pairing thread, that we try to do the next one centrally located, to cut down on travel for certain people, and at a lake where the smaller boats with smaller motors, or no gas motors, won't be at a disadvantage.

The lake that first comes to mind is Lower bolton. It's 15 minutes from Hartford, has a good size parking area, plenty of room for the after picnic, a 6 HP limit, meaning trolling motors only for most, and plenty of fish. There won't be many big fish caught, but everybody should be able to catch a limit.

I think we are planning on making it a draw tourney again, everybody seemed to like that, and it gives the anglers that don't own boats, a chance to get on the water and learn some new techniques from the seasoned tournament fisherman.

If anybody has any other comments or suggestions please let us know now, before we pull any permits and solidify things.

Thanks slimecoat. I used to fish lower Bolton all the time about 10-15 years ago. Hopefully we can get something in for the end of September or sooner.

I agree bass addict, I think it is because of the noise factor, as well as the speed, and size of boats.

Stinky , I can't do September, I'm booked solid that month. I have October 4th open, that's the date I sent to Justin, just waiting to hear back from him.

What's Oct. 4th look like for everybody else?

Rainbow Resevoir sounds like it might be a good spot too,...I'm thinking about trying a tourney there around the middle of Sept sometime if I get enough interest. Cool

ps: I'm probably in for Oct 4th on Bolton also!
