Congratulations to all of you... We had 32 boats that fished on Lake Orion !!!!!!! That is the most we have ever had in four years. Thank you to all that fished and we hope to see all of you next week at White Lake. Thank you to Mr. Billington for the give aways last night and to Lunch Money Lures for their weekly contribution for one out of the money. Remember to go and visit the fine folks at Hanks Fly Fishing shops and to thank John and his father for their support of division 40. Don't forget to check out our other sponsors, most listed on the blog.

We had a great weigh in last night with a total of 74 fish that came to the scales and no dead fish. Thank you for taking care of your fish and getting them back to the lake happy and healthy.

First place honors went to Matt Mosier and Aaron Kuschel with 12.66 lbs. First place Big Bass went to Jennifer Wilbur with a beautiful large mouth weighing in at 4.60 lbs. (Enjoy that traveling trophy) Many thanks to Jason for netting all of her fish last night. Second place went to Jason and Jennifer Wilbur with a nice weight of 12.01 lbs and second Big Bass went to Paul Mitchell with another nice large mouth bass with a weight of 4.56 lbs.

We would also like to thank our friends from the Oakland County Sheriff Dept. for keeping a watchful eye on us and standing ready to help with any problems. If you see them please let them know how much we as anglers appreciate them.

Thanks again for making Lake Orion the biggest tournament so far and we look forward to breaking that mark soon. See you at White Lake.

June 9th - Sylvan Lake

Alot of Big fish were caught!

1st Place

Scott & Kelly Tyrell - 10.30 lbs.

Big Bass

MAtt Malmquist - 4.29 lbs.

Sorry for the delay on the NBAA website results. We didn't have electricity or internet until Thurs. afternoon. We did have a generator but the internet was out as well so it didn't matter. We still have about 8 anglers who are not in the NBAA database yet so the results are still not accurate.


Well, despite the threat of bad weather and the lack of a good ramp we appreciate the 21 boats that showed up to fish on Sylvan Lk. We are thankful that the weather held out until the end of the tournament and then only rained during the weigh in. All in all it was a nice evening to fish. Congratulations to the Tyrells who took first place with 10.30 lbs. and to Matt Malmquist with a nice small mouth weighing in at 4.29 lbs. There were alot of good sacks weighed in, once again we had a great time. We look forward to seeing all of you at Lake Orion on the 16th of June. It should prove to be another good weigh in as I have heard that the bite is pretty good on the lake. Thanks again for fishing with us in Division 40. Remember to visit Hanks fly fishing shop and all of the other great sponsors that support us. Korri will have all of the sponsor information updated on the blog shortly so watch for them.

FANTASTIC... Thanks to all of the anglers that fished with us on Monday Night. Pontiac Lake proved to be productive for all 31 teams with each boat catching fish. We weighed in 111 fish with only 1 dead fish coming to the scales. Thank you for taking care of your fish and allowing them to be released happy and healthy to be caught again another day. Congratulations to Steve Smith for a nice sack of fish and first place last week. Not to be forgotten is Homer Mayberry with the winning Big Bass and the first recipient of the Div. 40 traveling trophy.

Thanks again to Dad's Deli, K&E Tackle and Hanks Fly Fishing Shops for the awesome prizes that were donated and given to the lucky winners of the first 08 drawings.
