As luck would have it Doug my kite is equiped with a Garmin model 240 temperature probe and depth - er altitude gage .  It indicated 52-53*  wherever the wind slacked off and it dipped low enough to the lake to read the surface.  Of course I had it on a very long string, as I was at the beach.

Oh you funny, funny man Bill    May the fishing God's striken you with weak line and bad smelling lures.  Can't wait to see though and the rest of you guys fishing.  If anyone needs maps of the Lake go to mapquest.com   
You can actually get a pretty decent lay of the land from it.

Thanks Smitty, I couldn't remember if PR night was Friday or  Saturday.  I'm gonna try to get out of town early so to get a seat.  They also make one heck of a burger too.  Smitty did your kite managed to check any water temps?

mind if I bring along a friend, he won't take up much room!

Sorry for the size, couldn't use my graphics editor on it.

Don't forget Doug, the "Green lantern"has prime rib on Fridays starting at 5.    I'll be leaving Auburn around noon just to make sure I can get a seat, and to check on the wind conditions for the kite. heh heh  We don't want Larry there before us or all the P. R. will be gone.

Smitty

Sounds like a plan Doug!

What time is everybody planning on getting to the campgrounds/hotel?

It was great way to get the cobwebs knocked off the fishing reflexes.  It was nice to see a good WBC turnout.  I am way sprung for the Duck Lake tourny.  After I'm all check in, I'm going down to the world reknown "Green Lantern" to review my tournament strategy and sample some of the coastal atmosphere along with a couple barley pops .  Hope to see some of you there.

.... pressure washing my roof - praticing casting with the pressure washer!!

Good job guys, sounds like you had a very good experience, I was thinking of you as I was mowing my lawn.

BillB

Good job guys! This news just gets me all the more fired up for the rest of the tournament season....

By the way Glenn, you have got to do something about that cheesy picture of me.  I will try to download to you a little more substancial fish than that measley 2 lb.

Lest we forget the most important big game of the hunt.  The personal water craft.  They are hard to bag in a slower boat, boat in Larry's boat, I am sure we could run down a few.

Maybe a combination Hunt-N-Fish trip........
Limits=5 Bass
          2 Mink
          All the Cormorants you can hit!

p.s. we saw a Mink carrying a decent sized bass along the shoreline............@#$#Mink!

Idea....The official Western Bass Club Mink Coat?

Hey Larry,
  Thanks again for putting up with me in the back of your boat.  I had a great time and I am glad our game plan worked out pretty well.  We know we had the bites to place a little higher but all in all it was a great time out on the water with some tugging on the other end of the line.  Now if we could only train that darn mink to catch the fish and bring it back to the boat instead of his log.  LOL

Thanks for the report, Larry! And... Way to go! It sounds like that was a fun tournament
