I just finished doing a television show for The Next Bite with Mike Gofron and Chase Parsons. We were also checking the water out for AIM to double check the tournament viability. Mark Martin had checked it out previously in early June, so AIM is definitely not going into this area blind. In my opinion, this may be the most interesting body of water that we fish… Everyone knows how diverse the St. Mary’s system is below the locks. We found the bay to be full of fish, and caught about 30 each day and to be truthful only fished the bay about 5 hours each day with other time spent just driving around the huge and beautiful area. The locks are only 12 miles away, and the whole system will be open, including Canada. Obviously logistics will need to be figured out, but I’m truly excited about fishing here. It’s nice to have another Great Lakes area where we can actually have a viable fishing area to fish just in case the weather turns severe (the bay itself and protected areas). This is going to be a purely interesting tournament with much unexplored water on a great fishing system, at one of the best times of the year, and the Bay Mills facility is fabulous. The resort casino is beautiful with plenty of parking, and they have a great protected launch with two ramps. This is a pretty special event with the Casino adding much cash to the purse, but will be an invitational. Payouts will be 150 to 200% depending on how much we decide the entry fee to be. There is still time to make sure that you can procure the Pro invitation as I’m quite sure that any angler that fishes 3 of the 4 AIM events this year (in the Pro division) will get in. I believe that the deadline for the Green Bay event is June 24th, so get those Pro entrys in today. Every one complains about payouts not being that good, so here is an opportunity to get into an event where the anglers are fishing for alot more than their own money. Also, the Green Bay bite is on big time and with AIM’s format all can look forward to an unbelievable tournament event.

Thanks James,
You sure have a great site here!

Hey guys,
Thanks for all of the kind words. The Red Dogs are just as hyper and cool as ever! Information about AIM can be found at: http://www.aimfishing.com I hope that I’m not violating any rules with that address and if I am apologize ahead of time. You can contact Scott Matheson through that site, and there is tons of video of the event there. I’ll try to keep this site appraised of any changes and thanks for checking the post out.

Thanks Ben! Good to hear from you. Hope all is going well and fishing has been hot. Good luck my friend and have a great evening!

Hi Guys,
Just got back home from the event. In all of the years I’ve fished, I can’t remember a better time. The CRR went fantastic, the fish were easy to process, and with this system I actually feel more secure in my weight than when the fish are jumping around during the weigh in process. All of our events are 7 fish. This allows for more fun, better competition, better ability to come back and more excitement. Truly over three days the best angler with the best fish will win… not the lucky guess or right order of fish. And I agree… just think of the possibilities on most bodies of water we fish. Guys, the fun is back in town. Tournament competition has never been better and I would encourage any and all to fish our events as a pro or a co. Green Bay is next and I can’t wait to start… no worries about upgrading! YIKES!!!!!

Thanks Brian,
Glad you like the show! We actually have old versions on our site that you can download to your computer now if you’re interested. This is a great site, good people, not much bashing and I’m starting to visit it every day. So far I’ve not posted much, but if something gets directed my way I’d be happy to help. Thanks and have a great day!

Thank you Bill,
You have a great site here and the information shared is awesome. You guys should be proud of what you’ve built.
