NoAl Chapter - Sign up here to fish Cedar Creek on August 14th

The next NoAl tournament will be at Cedar Creek on August 14th out of the Slick Rock boat ramp. Registration will begin at 4:45 with "ease off" at first light which should be right at 5:30. Weigh in time will be at 3:00 unless we decide on an earlier weigh in during registration.

Because the hot weather takes a toll on the fish as well as the angler, I'd also like to propose a little wrinkle for this month. How does everyone feel about a "split weigh in"? We'd still have our usual 5-fish limit for the tournament but open the scales for a 30 minute period during the day - say from 10:30 to 11:00 - to allow everyone an opportunity to weigh in part or all of their fish. I think that might make it a lot easier on the fish during the course of the day. Of course, there would also be a little strategy involved, too, since you wouldn't have a opportunity to cull once you weighed in those fish. Might make for an interesting tournament.

Sounds like a great plan to me. I will probably want to quit about that time anyway (with or without fish). http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

I talked to Chris last night and it doesn't look like he'll be joining us after all. Apparently KVD has too many obligations after the whole AOL deal!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

What AOL deal? Did KVD buy AOL? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

Damn keyboard!! I meant AOY. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/embarassed.gif

Yeah, I know. Just bustin' your chops a little bit. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

I hope more than four show up for y'all tomorrow. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif Maybe I can fish again sometime. Actually had my schedule clear for tomorrow and then my wife took a new job. She leaves for five weeks of training next Tuesday so she informed me I couldn't fish Saturday. Said we were sleeping in. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif Can't argue with that. But that also means maybe I'll be cleared for next month even though it is on one of my LEAST favorite lakes. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif

least favorite???? Wilson? least favorite? great lake! sorry i cant be there tomorrow, but work is calling.

I'd like to see a bigger turnout, too, but July, August and even September are traditionally low-turnout months because of the heat. We're gonna press on anyway, though! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Oh, I forgot to mention it earlier but everyone needs to remember their BCDA permits!

Won my first tourney out of the Phoenix on it earlier this year. Haven't been able to catch squat since. I think all that lake is good for right now is tubing. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
