What happen to Mike Moffit???
would be nice to know whats going on due to the fact he was 1 of the reasons I was fishing them up here this year

Also if Mike is not running it then I would like to know if there will be any changes in the way things will be ran at the wood, things like starting time and place to meet, # of fish 1 person teams will be able to weight in, Sence Mike fished there was no B/S at the Ramp if you were late you were out and so on

I have allready paid for the jan19th trny at the wood and I would like alot of answers because if I don't like what I'm hearing I want to pull my entry and get my money back

I'm sure you'll be fine. Jason runs a good tourney...Organized, by the book, & hot dogs for all!!!!

[1socalbass]

Kirk,
Mike received a new job that requires him to do a lot of traveling. Because of the travels he will not be back in time to make it out to the lakes to run the tournaments. I am sorry this came up so suddenly, but we just found out ourselves. I will do my best to make the tournament run as smooth as possible. As far as I know everything will be the same for signups, if there needs to be changes on the way the tournament will be run, I will make those changes so the tournament runs as smooth as possible. I have not personally been there, but after the first tournament I run, you will know how things will be run up there. If you have any questions you can always call the American Bass Office (310) 376-1026.
Thanks for the support,
Jason Sutherland

Thanks David, See you out there!

I know that Mike did an amazing job, but to tell you the truth, Jason ran a no BS ABA Sunday Tourney and was cut and dry from the start. I am looking forward to several events and keep up the good job Jason. The staff was very helpful and for what it is worth, it actually felt like he had everyones best interest in mind when laying down the line about certain issues.


Those were the best hot dogs ever by the way!!!! Could have mistaken them for Dodger Dogs (almost)

Thanks again to Jason and staff for all your hard work to make it possible to donate once again, good times

[1socalbass]

Speaking of donating, I don't get to see you Donate to often. In fact you caught a nice option check. $$ ... Normally you take. I guess you were in the holiday spirit!
Thanks man

[Bada Bing]

ssshhhh, still want to be the Donkey Rookie team, has been working of late.

Jason runs a smooth tournament. I fished a castaic event there in Nov. I think it was and Jason ran it. Things went really smooth there so hes good to go.
He just needs to know where to go in at Silverwood. He should have the signups outside the lake to make things faster too.

Pete

[1socalbass]

Thanks Pete. I will look into that. Your talking about doing the sign-ups outside the contractors gate?

[macinckirk]

Thanks Pete. I will look into that. Your talking about doing the sign-ups outside the contractors gate?

Jason that is 1 ??? are we going to sign up at the Contractors gate 4:30- 5:30am, 5:30 Meeting and get in the lake at 6:00am 1 hour before the rest of the people??? (thats how Mike did the last 1 and said they would all be done like this)

Or are we going to have to wait in line like everyone and then get in the front gate at 7:00am

2nd Sence ABA got the Paper for 4, 13" fish will a 1 man team still be able to weight in 4 fish (like the 1st 1)sence silverwood is a 2 fish per man Place?? or are you going to need 2 poeple in the boat to weight in 4 fish??

3rd Sence the trny's at the wood does not pull alot of boats 10-15 lets say, will you pay down to 3rd or what?

I think that somes up the ??? for me right now

Thanks Kirk
