| Schmitty and Jerry.
You can always come over after the MWC weigh in. I'll save a Sloppy Jo, and beer for you!
I'll see Steve this weekend, and finalize the details with him. Should we up the boats from 20? I think the next step is 40, but not sure.

Location: upper michigan | question guys are we limited to 2 people in the boat is there an age limit to who is in the boat my wife works that weakend and if the weather report dont look to bad i was thinking of draging my 2 boys to fish it with me 4 and 6 years old. It would be alot of work but i think they would love it. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I agree 100% Schmitty. Butch, if it was up to me, I'd say yes. Getting the family out for a day and enjoying time together on the water is exactly what it's all about. |

| Steve W and Shep and the rest of the contestants need to chime in on this though.

| I see no issue with having a couple of future WFer's in the boat with you. Not sure on the age thing, but 2 years ago, a young man got the big fish pot, although he was older than 4 and 6, I think 12? It might be an awful long day for the youngsters. I'll defer to Steve W on this, as there may be an age limit for the permit?

| Shep, I have done the permit for this tournament and others in the past. I just sent in two app's for this year and there is no age limit. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | Given that this is a friendly get together, I think the main issue is the number of lines a boat may have out at a time. The other competitor's will be using 6 lines, as that is the maximum they can use. Butch, if his boat has 4 in it, could use 12. As long as he agrees to use no more than 6 at a time, I see no problem with his family fishing together. Wish I could be there with my family for this one!!! |

| Thanks Lumpy. And I agree with Ralph. If he could fish with more than 6 lines with the kids in the boat, more power to him! hehehe I know I couldn't, and my kids are 13 and 9 now! I would just make sure the kids don't get too bored. It's a long day for them. Perhaps plan on coming back to the pavillion for a break or two. I don't see an issue with this. |

| My Dad and Grandpa started taking me out on Bago when I was three. On my first trip out I out fished them both while drifting with Mille Lacs spinners and crawlers. I think having a four and and six year old along is an unfair advantage considering the LUCK factor.  They will probably take both the big fish and total weight prises even if daddy manages to get only one line out at a time. Looks like I'll need to bring my grand kids along if I want a chance to finish first!
Bring them along. One suggestion; have something along in the boat, a Gameboy or something similar in case they get bored. You could also stop for a little while and still fish for panfish (sheepshead) to break the monotony if the trolling bite is slow. Good luck and I hope they have a blast. |
