Here is some info regarding next weekend on Lake St. Clair and what is going to happen. The first thing you should do is click on this link: http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/bassboard/other_topics/T25168.htm

We will be using the boat ramp at Metro Beach which is just North of Roseville about 10 minutes away.

You can get a non-resident fishing license for Michigan on-line. You can get a yearly or buy 2 or 3 daily ones for only the days you will be there. You will be able to print your license right to your printer as soon as you make the transaction and have it the same day. The link for the website for the Michigan license is:

Just click on the E-license button on the right of the page and follow the instructions.

You can also get a Canadian license on-line. The difference is that the Canadian one will have to be mailed to you. It takes about 3 days to get it so if you are thinking of getting your Canadian license that way, do not delay much longer. The link for the site to get your Canadian license is:

REPORT:

The Trophy Bassmasters held a very productive club tournament last weekend. Sixteen members traveled north to Michigan and Lake St Clair to test their skills on this popular waterway. Catch rates were very good as a few of the anglers, who were there for 2 or 3 days, reported catching as many as 40 or more fish per day. Smallmouth bass dominated the creels as only 1 largemouth was weighed in. Total catches for the club during the 9 hour competition day were 44 bass of at least 14” which tipped the scales at 86.99lbs. The first place winner left little doubt at weigh-in as his catch far out-distanced the rest of the field. Jim Miller had a 5 fish limit including the 3.92lb big bass. His total weight of 13.22lbs landed him both top prizes. Coming in a distant 2^nd was Chris Swygart. His 5 smallmouth totaled 10.60lbs. A very close 3^rd place finisher was Vern Boecher. He had 10.42lbs in his, or just over 1 ounce less than Swygart to take the honor. This marks the halfway point of the season and McCullough still holds the top spot in the Mr. Bass point race while Jim Miller starts to apply pressure.
