    If anyone is going to this tournament we should all meet somewhere. Anyone considering going?

    What is the job of an observer?

    Joe, I will be on the water chasing them around. Let me know if you want to hop in my boat.

    I wonder how they are going to keep us away from them.

    I am free Wednesday and Thursday night. You, Erik, and I will hit it. I have a state park sticker, so that landing should be free. Worse case scenario, they can’t keep me off my dock.

    I fished the top 100 on Tonka ten years ago.Most of the bass boats stayed about 100 yards away and watched with binoculars.Other boats came right up close.It’s public water.The last two days with the closed course,I’ve never seen that, except on TV.

    If you can find the lake, go down Highway X where it splits the lake and you won’t miss it.

    I was out on Wissota on Sunday. Seen a bunch of them out practice fishing. We put in at the view and at about 7:00 PM we pulled into the view to take the boat out. I walked right by Van Dam. He was pulling out. He wasn’t there long. I’m not sure I have ever seen a boat get taken out of the water that quickly. Any way I plan on bringing the boat out on Saturday. I have some friends that have permanent sights at Mallard Resort and they said I could use Mallard’s landing. I’ll be in a 2004 black and white Starcraft Cstar with 115 Opti. I’m hoping to be able to beach the boat somewhere near the View to see the final weigh-in.

    Just returned from following the 6 pros on Wissota all day…..all I can say is that these guys are pinpoint accurate and 100% efficient. Most of the lures and techniques they used we have all used ourselves……We watched VanDam(Elite50 champ) and Hite run jerkbaits with their trolling motors on high and with our 225 Merc at Idle speed we could not keep up. Well worth the trip…just wish the big smallies that roam the Wissota waters would of showed up. Hope they come back to WI.
