White Lake, a tight fit - July 27

Thank you Terry - You Rock!

35 boats and almost not enough parking!

110 fish caught

Nice crowd, lots of mosquitoes

2nd Place - Louie King & Ryan Nims 14.24 lbs

2nd Big Bass - Brad White 4.29 lbs

1st Place - Matt Malmquist & Nate Barr 14.49lbs

1st Big Bass - Chris & Derrek 4.60 lbs

(Since they didn't know who actually caught the big one.)

Well, we told you that there would be another parking challenge to conquer!!!! Thanks to everyone for working with us to get all of the boats parked safely. We especially want to thank Terry Horak for all of his help and valeting of the trucks and trailers. It helps that Terry seems to know absolutely everyone in White Lake and we truly appreciate that for sure. Also, a big thanks to Gary from the DNR for all of his help and cooperation in letting us get the boats into the water and launched on time.

Despite the creative parking the night was a good one for fishing. The weather was perfect, the water was good and the mosquito's were especially hungry if you didn't notice.

Matt Malmquist and Nate Barr seem to have this lake down recently. Congratulations guys on a nice weight of 14.49 lbs and a big bass of 3.32 lbs. They didn't get first place big bass, but they did get that first place win overall and the points to go with it. Not to far behind them were the team of Louie King and Ryan Nims for second place with a nice sack of fish weighing in at 14.24 lbs. and a big bass of 3.80 lbs. Third place went to Mr. Ed Schiller and Mr. Don Patton with 13.40 lbs and a nice big bass of 4.24 lbs.

Big bass honors and the traveling trophy went to Derrek Zdeb and Chris Schultes and weighed 4.60 lbs. They weren't sure who caught the fish so they both get their picture on the blog. Second big bass went to Brad White with another nice large mouth weighing in at 4.29 lbs. Nice job gentlemen, and Brad we were glad you and Aaron "Smiley" Kuschel were able to fish with us on White Lake. We hope to see you again before the end of the season.

Next week we are on Cass Lake and the parking will allow your director to keep his blood pressure under control as there should be plenty of room. Be safe and have a fantastic week, see you on Monday.

3 fish over 5lbs! - July 20

Getting ready to fish

Josh and Ty sitting down on the job

NOT a "Waste-a-day" Lake

2nd Place - Mark Semple & Alex Cataldo 14.96 lbs.

(Sorry Alex, didn't mean to cut off part of your head)

2nd Big Bass - Steve Glowinski 5.21 lbs

1st Place - Andrew Solomon and Steve Glowinski 16.91lbs

1st Big Bass - Mike Mortensen 5.40 lbs

Maceday Lake always proves to be a challenge both with parking and fishing. Regardless both seemed to go well as everyone found a spot to park (thanks to the church) and we had a good number of fish come to the scales.

With 3 fish over 5 lbs. from 3 different teams and a big bag of 16.91 lbs the fishing was on.

Congratulations to the team of Solomon and Glowinski with the 1st place fish weighing 16.91 and the second place big bass of 5.21 lbs. These guys have been on a roll lately and appear to be moving up on the leader board.

Second place went to Semple and Cataldo(sorry again about the picture Alex) with 14.96 lbs. with a big bass of 3.84 lbs. Third place was a nice sack of fish caught by the team of George and Crane with 13.19 lbs. and a big bass of 5.05 lbs.

We want to thank the church for once again allowing us to use the parking lot to house the boats and to hold the weigh in. If it were not for them we would not be able to fish this lake any longer. We also want to thank Bob and Tracey from the DNR ramp for all of their help and cooperation in getting us into the water and parked.

We are on White Lake next week and look forward to another good turn out and another parking challenge but with a little cooperation I am sure it will all go well. Have a great week and we will see you on Monday.

40 Boats Thank You! - July 13

Nice Crowd-Thanks for coming!

What a great night on Pontiac Lake. We had our first ever 40 boat turn out and want to say thanks again to everyone who fishes Division 40, you are the best! We had a total of 141 fish that were brought to the scales and all but one went back into the lake happy and healthy for another day.

Congratulations to Russ Shaw and Mark Malvich on their third place finish weighing in @ 9.14lbs, nice job guys!!!!! Second place went to Ed Schiller and Terry Melvin with a nice sack of fish weighing in @ 9.55lbs. First place weighed in @ 9.57lbs from Todd Glover and Paul Cowen, thanks Todd for subbing for Josh who was away at camp.

The scales were close all night with 8th place weighing in with 8.60lbs and going up to 9.57lbs which is not allot of separation by any stretch. Pontiac Lake always seems to produce alot of fish and makes the weigh in very interesting for sure.

We are on Macadey Lake next week and look forward to another good tournament with the great anglers from this division.

We want to thank all of our sponsors and remind you to please go and support them and tell them how much we appreciate all they do for us.

Have a great week and we will see you next Monday night.
