Well fellas, I am considering throwing together another one of these MO get togethers for sometime this spring...preferably to coincide with prespawn.

I just wanted to throw a thread out there to guage the level of interest.

Any takers?

Count me in.  

I am going to Lake Fork the 1st week of April so when and where would this be held?? YES I am interested.

Not sure yet, but it's a pretty safe bet that it'll be later than the first week of April.

I'm gonna change a few rules this time too. This time there will be a weigh in and an admission fee which will be used as prize money, and if we have enough money, some will go towards Big Bass.

If the date works out, I'll come back for round 2.

Count me and the misses in.

I might be interested depending on date and location.  

Definitely interested.

ab-sa-tiza-lutely, ninerMan and I will be there.

When and Where?  We need to know which boat to bring!

let me know ;D ;D

I would be interrested! When and where.

I'm in depending date and location

The when will more than likely be late April. I am looking at the weekend of April 26th in particular or possibly the first weekend in May. Depends on which date works best for the most folks.

This year I'd like to fish a larger impoundment. Little Dixie was great, but it is a small lake, and it fishes even smaller. Such is the case with most smaller lakes. I am considering reviving the idea of having the tournament based out of PB2 or the Larry R. Gale Access point of the Lake of the Ozarks. I would have to look up regattas for that access period to see if having a tournament out of there around that time of the year is even feasible. Any other thoughts or ideas for a possible location or date?

PB 2 gets pretty busy whether there is a tournament or not.  I'll throw Coffman Beach (Gravois arm) and Shawnee Bend (MM 11) into the mix.

I like Coffman if we go towards a big lake. I would also vote for little dixie again. I would like a chance at redemption with that @#$*! Lake

+1

I'll start taking a look into getting a regatta for the Coffman Beach area. What date will work the best for most folks? April 26th or May 3rd?

Either or but I'd prefer the 26th.  

I'd vote onthe 26th.

Harshman

my vote is for the 26th

Alright, I am going to put in a regatta for April 26th at the Coffman Beach Access Area. I think I am going to have to make the starting time 8:00am that way anyone driving from their home to the tournament will have time to make it there on time and not have to leave at 3am.

So much for the LOZ around the end of April. I guess some folks sent in their regattas before mine. The 26th is pretty much eaten up at any location at LOZ.

This being the case, and since their has been some interest shown, I suggest moving it back to last seasons location of Little Dixie. Heck, we all know there are some hawgs in there anyway.

The only problem I can see is if we are going to do a weigh in, what should the length limit be set at? All fish between 12" to 15" has to be released immediately, making it kind of difficult to keep any for a weigh in. I am also kicking around the idea of shortening the length limit for the fish to count towards the limit since everyone and their brother was catching fish in the 13-14.75" range.

Is it to late to sign up?  How far is it from St. Robert?  I should be able to make it.  Thanks.

I'm all in favor of little Dixie. Maybe we can just have a vote before launch on what to do for the length limit?

Harshman

;D

Who needs a boat?

We'll all meet on the east side of the lake and fish off the rock jetties.  That's where everyone will head anyway!    ;D
