Well, I guess a potluck is beginning to sound workable, I wasn't sure if there were facilities at Desert Gold for that. It aslo looked like enough people were staying elsewhere that the commute for a potluck began to look it wouldn't draw the crowds.

I guess we should try and get a concensus between the meeting Thursday night and Friday/Saturday by launch time.

Thanks Glenn, I know there were a few things I could have done better and will have a handle on them for Banks Lake.

I just want to say thanks to the competitors for hanging in there..... and especially to my backseater and Ambassadee Ray Henning who gave me an incredible amount of help, without which things could not have happened.

I have posted a Teaser on the REPORTS section, full results to follow

Hey Faz

I agree you get a big,



for a job well done.

I for one had a very good time and enjoyed the experience very much.  I look forward to fishing a tournament there again real soon.

As a closing note to the Tri-Cities tournament, I need to mention that I was in Kenniwick this past weekend.   As previously promised, I GENEROUSLY went out of my way and stopped by the Desert Gold Motel to retrieve items left behind by club members.
I now have in my possession, a well worn, albeit colorful pillow, a coffee maker with a rather warped handle, and a set of keys to a local business.
Ah the sweet smell of payback is in the air.  8)

Let the grovelling begin ladies!!!!

i would hardley consider a tin can full of water set to boil on a sterno burner a worthwhile replacement Larry.  However if that is your preference, as I said before, my wife can always use a relief container in the boat for those times when she accompanies me.  Sure beats having to pick up and run to the dockside privvy.  
I would never consider for a moment, taking advantage of a fellow member by demanding payment of prized tackle for a service provided.  You my keep your Senkos safe in the knowledge that they may catch you more fish. 8)

Actually I was thinking of a trio with you, John , and Mark.   
"Daddy sang base, Moma sang tenor, little baby sister and me joined in" .
I can definatly see it.
I hadn't thought about the tu tu though, I was looking more at grass skirts.
