Dates announced for 2010

With Bill Maurer calling the shots as tournament director this year he did not waste any time taking care of his first order of business. These dates are tenative but unless something big comes up then plan on them. They are as follows:

May 9th Baw Beese

May 23rd Hardy Dam

June 13th Michigan Center

June 19/20 Cadillac and Mitchell

July 18th St. Clair

July 25th Muskegon

August 8th Wamplers

August 22nd Devils

September 12th Lake Ovid

A couple of back to back tournament weekends this year jumped out at me right away. I'm not sure how that will impact the participation but it is a little different from last year when we had decent sized layoffs between events. And the St. Clair - Muskegon weekends being so close will definitely be interesting considering they are vastly different fisheries.

The Hardy Dam event seems like it will be held a week later then we have been there in the past but I think that's due to Memorial Day being late this year, May 31st. They should still be on their beds up there and we may even see a little spawning on Baw Beese the first of the month.

Overall I think Bill did a good job and it is a good start to the 2010 season. I know it seems a long way away but it always seems to sneak up on me anyway. Hope everyone has a good holiday and start thinking about the January meeting which will cover tourney and club rules.
