| I was hoping that the Boat Doc was planing a 2012 season. I fished 1 tournament last year and had a great time. Do you think it will happen (events) again in 2012?

| Hey TIMM,
If you fished one of the tournaments last year you should have just got an email in the last few days about tournament dates. If you did not get the email let me know and I can forward it to you.
Thanks,
Justin

Location: Berlin | With the new presentation brought out this year I might be spending more time out in the mud then usual. I bet it revolutionizes walleye fishing. The mud fish will not have a chance. I know I joke a lot but I am 100% serious about this. |

Location: Berlin | 1 more thing. The Boat Doc is not running these tournaments anymore, they are only sponsoring. More details will come in the following weeks. |
|
| |
|
| I talk to some guys that fish the MWS and they were hoping the tournaments could be NTC qualifer events. I'm betting thay would switch over and fish the Boat Doc events. |

Location: Berlin | We started a new walleye club and that is one of the things we are working on. The club will be running this circuit. We had the 1st meeting last Friday and got the ball rolling but have a lot of details to work out. I will keep you all posted as things get finalized. |

Location: Berlin | The dates are being voted on right now. We will post the firm dates early next week. The entry will be $150 per team and there will be a annual $20 manditory membership fee to the Bago Walleye Club per person. All tournaments will be on Sunday. 80% minimum payback for each individual tournament 10% goes to End of Season points race 10% for club expenses Points race will pay down top 20% of total entrants that fished all 4 events and 1st place will be a seperate prize that we are still working on. You will be able to switch partners as long as one of the original members is still part of the team. All entries must be postmarked the Monday (1 week) before the tournament to get in. No late fees but you will not be able to enter the week prior to the tournament. All early birds will get a priority number. This will be a random drawing for each event because they are 1 day events. 65 teams max per event I will keep you all posted as I know more details but feel free to ask questions. This is NOT the official press release and is subject to change. I am just trying to get some info out to you guys as quick as possible.

| Let's hear more on the new Bago Club too. |
|
| |
|
| If the dates are still being voted on, this would suggest that the permits are not in hand.
dotting I's and crossing T's.
I'm curious on the dates, looking forward to the schedule being posted |

Location: Berlin | I can tell you the 1st is May 13 and the second is June 3rd. The 3rd and 4th events are the ones being voted on. The only fly in the ointment would be the permits. We are trying to use Menominee Park (miller's bay) again this year. Rainbow Park would be the back-up plan as of now. |

Location: Berlin | mrmodog - 12/22/2011 4:38 PM Let's hear more on the new Bago Club too. We are all working on the tournament circuit right now. Once that is set-up and going we will start looking at more club type events. Greg Karch is involved and we are talking about some kids stuff already. I had some questions about the club being non-profit. YES it will be a Non-profit organization. The sky is the limit and there are some great guys running the club. I can't wait to see where they take it.

Location: Berlin | For right now, just keep an eye here. By fishing any of the 4 events you will pay a $20 membership fee to the club. If you are not fishing an event and still want to join that is something we will talk about at our next meeting. Keep in mind here guys we are still in the very early stages of getting this all going. I will post details as I get them. |

The club will be applying for the permits now that we have the dates. I will let you all know when they are approved but there should not be any problems. Mark your calendars! More updates to come!!! |

Location: Berlin | Alright guys, just got word. This will be an NTC qualifier! Not sure on the number of spots at this time. This is great news and should help fill this up.
Is it April yet? |

Location: Berlin | More facts: We will not know how many spots we get until after the season is over. We submit all the numbers to the NTC after all events have been completed and get word of how many spots we have about this time next year. If I had to guess I would say around 4 or 5 spots but that is a total guess at this point. I am dissapointed in this system the NTC has in place but from what I hear they are working on it and are now in conjunction with the Walleye Federation. This is the latest news. I will keep you all posted as I get more details. Feel free to email me with any questions: [email protected]

Location: Berlin | Just tell her if she truly loves you she will let you fish. If that does not work tell she is your wife, not your mother. If that does not work tell her you are the bread winner in the family and you should be able to do what you want. If that does not work tell her she should worry more about cleaning the house then when you go fishing. If that does not work tell her you will work on not being such a selfish lover if she lets you fish. If that does not work you are screwed and better luck next time. |

| I'm not really worried about the house it's the boat that concerns me. I kind of like it when she washes and waxes it. |

| I know it was mentioned that your first date is on Mother’s day but…. I Don't know if anyone else noticed but your second tourney is the same dates as the NTC/MWC on Mille Lacs, not that it has an effect on you fishing Bago but may draw some of your competitors away, and also your last date for July29 is the same date that the MWC is going to be on Winnebago. That one may give you a head ache.
Just a thought.
