    Unfortunately I’ve got a bass tournament that day and won’t be able to make it. Say some kind words on behalf of Kendall aka KWP. He passed in December of 2019, and he always loved fishing the contest. I’ve got some great memories of fishing with him out there.

    About a week out now! I’m planning to bring a fish fryer again. So if anyone want’s to clear out the freezer and bring fish, I’ll cook them up.

    I’ll also have plates/plastic wear/paper towels.

    Looking forward to the contest and Pot Luck after. Same plan as past years. Will get set up on the island for weigh in and pot luck and awards.

    Feel free to contact me or Mike W if you have questions.
