Tell me about it, they haven't been cooperating for me yet. But I have time before those dates. [img=
http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ima ... /devil.gif]d[/img] I plan on doing all my fishing on one lake, can't go to other lakes. No money, have to fix the truck in early May, fix the computer in May, and fix the van in June. And fix the other truck some time this summer, tabs for the OTHER truck, and gas in everything except the boat, it has almost full tanks anyway.

Not a bad choice of lakes at all. That`s my plan to. That one and maybe a few others near by. Why travel when you can win it in the back yard.:bounce:

You know what they say about plans>>>>>>>> "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men".. Oh Lennie, I have something for ya. LOL
Since work was absolutely dead today, I digested some maps and available info to stay a bit closer to home during the tourney also. Not as close as the back yard but closer than the E WA trip I really want to make. It'll save a bunch in gas. We'll see! LOL Depending on the weather there might be enough lily pads to choke a herd of horses and if the bass aren't cooperating then trout and perch are also available.
Yes! I know! Over thinking it again! LMAO "Just stuff the hook in and let er fly!" <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>> "Here fishy fishy! :king:
I'm gonna catch a ton-o-HAWGS! LOL

Ok, so when does the tourney start?
1 second after midnight on the 14th, or first light?
What time does it end?
Last light on the 29th, or 1 second before midnight?

Starts 12:00:01am 5-14 and ends 11:59:59pm 5-29. And if I see a fish caught with a time stamp that close to the start or end of the tourney my jaw will hit the floor.

OK, I have received your lure packs from Rick. I will be packaging them up and mailing them out during the week so you should get them in the next week or so.
If you haven't registered yet, just go to the Derby Announcement thread and post that you want to participate, send me a PM with your name and mailing address and I will add you to our growing list. You won't want to miss out on this fun event!
BTW, inside each package is rigging instructions and tips on how to fish this lure. Plus a little something from WL.com.

Can you use the baits as trailers if they are still 4 inches long? That is longer than I have ever used, but could work:-k . I too will have to work around a schedule. At least we've had some notice ahead of time. Good luck all, even if I place 100th[wink].

the rules are that there must be at least 4" of Fish-N-Fool bait left. You can only use the bait by itself, not in combination with other lures such as jigs.

Is there going to be a limit like I mentioned before? Like a 5 bass limit with culling. Or as many bass as you can catch on the supplied lures, regardless if it is 4 fish or 40 fish?
