Some nice fish

part of our gang

Rachel wore out the little guy.

2nd place - Mike Mollema 12.75lbs

(a little help from his friends)

1st place - Andrew Solomon & Steve Glowinski

13.02 lbs

Big Bass - Ryan Nims 4.18lbs

WOW!!!! What a tough night of fishing and trying to get out of the ramp. Despite the extra frustration from our friends at the ramp we still made it. Thanks Homer for assisting in getting their truck in and out.

Other than that it was just a pretty tough night!!! This year seems to have been tough overall for many of us. Oh well, that is fishing and there is always the next lake or tomorrow to do better. (That sounded like the Detroit Lions motto)

Anyway, our last regular season tournament is in the books and we are looking forward to our divisional championship on Brendel Lake.

Thankyou to all of you for fishing division 40. As we say all the time, we feel that we have the best division in NBAA and it is because of the anglers that fish with us.

Andrew Solomon and Steve Glowinski have been on a role this season and came to the scales again with some nice fish. 1st place went to them with 13.02 lbs, 2nd place, fishing alone, went to Mike Mollema with 12.75lbs. NICE!!!! Ryan Nims had a beautiful large mouth weighing 4.18 lbs. for the last big bass honors of the regular season and the traveling trophy.

Thanks for a GREAT SEASON, we are already working on plans for next year and look forward to seeing all of you.

Last time this year at Pontiac Lake- August 10

I have never seen this before

I thought the van was going to get stuck

Lots of boats

The bumb board is always used at Pontiac Lake

Wow! What a big fish Jason!

3rd Place - Paul & Josh Cowen

2nd BB - Chris Schultes 2.52

2nd Place - Mark Semple & E.J. Martin - 9.33 lbs

1st Place - Zdeb & Schultes 9.75 lbs

Big Bass - Sandy Alfaro 2.68 lbs

Well it is hard to believe that Pontiac Lake is in the rear view mirror for the last time this season. Once again it was a good night of fishing and all had fun.

The first place team was Derek Zdeb and Chris Schultes with a nice weight of 9.75 lbs. Not to bad for fishing out of a Triton eh... Second place went to the team of Mark Semple and E.J. Martin with a limit weighing 9.33 lbs out of a Nitro boat and with a sub. Pretty nice effort Mark and E.J. Third place went to Paul and Joshua Cowen out of their Skeeter boat. Good thing Josh was on fire and caught some fish to anchor their team.

Second place big bass went to Chris Schultes with a nice 2.52 lb. large mouth and First place big bass went to Sandy Alfaro with a beauty weighing 2.68 lbs.

Don't forget that we are not fishing next week but will be on Lake Oakland on August 24th at which time we will be announcing the location of the championship. Only those that have fished 8 or more tournaments during the regular season will be qualified to fish the championship. If you are on the bubble don't miss Lake Oakland. See you there.

Very Windy Night at Cass Lake - August 3

Fishing pow wow

Launching

Getting ready to blast off

Paul doing "blast" off from the boat

Seems more like a crawl than a blast

3rd Place - Team Kopczyk

2nd Place BB - Chris Cucksey 3.27lbs

2nd place Team Cucksey/Montney 8.14 lbs

1st Place Team Zdeb/Schultes - 9.93 lbs

1st BB - Chuck Standhardt - 4.80 lbs

Let the winds blow and they did!!!!!!! What a crazy windy night but we didn't get rained out and that was a blessing for sure.

Cass Lake is tough enough, but throw in the 30 mph winds and was down right brutal!!!!! Despite all, everyone braved the weather and off we went to go fishing.

Congradulations to the team of Zdeb and Schultes with a nice weight of 9.93 lbs. for 1st place. 2nd place went to Mr. Cucksey and Mr. Montney with 8.14 lbs. and 3rd place went to Kopczyk and Kopczyk with 8.07 lbs.

Big bass and the traveling trophy went to Chuck Standhardt with a nice 4.80 lb. and 2nd place big bass went to Chris Cuksey with a 3.27 lb. smallie. Good Job Guys!!!!

Next week we are on Pontiac Lake and look forward to seeing everyone out. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the fish will too.

Thanks to all that fished on Cass Lake and this season, we appreciate you and all of our sponsors.

See you next Monday night.

Sorry everyone,
I seem to be a week behind and can't catch up.
I'll do my best this week.
