2012 LUNKER HUNTERS SCHEDULE

I think the Federation is there that weekend. Should make it interesting.

Federation is there the following weekend.

I was pretty sure we set the tournament to miss the big stuff.

We originally had it set for the 22nd, but found out about Federation and a couple others that weekend.

We are hoping to pick up a few pre-fishermen the day of the tournament.

The Federation South region is the following weekend but the Federation Southeast region is on the 14th

We now have a website:

Lunker Hunters Website

We should flyer the parking lot on Saturday and maybe pick up a few from the federation tournament...

...

GBRA frowns on soliciting in there parking lot... Also the plant should be running right now or within a few days. It will change the strings to much larger if this indeed happens.

If it isn't freezing cold and 30 mph winds, I will be there with 2 teams.

I just hope that we have the weather we are having today on the weekend of the tournament. Awesome morning - 50 degrees - Light wind, perfect....

Was gonna prefish that week-end for federation on the 21,22 so count me in.

Awesome, glad to hear it, we should have a good turn out if the weather doesn't screw us over. I have been getting quote a few contacts through other forums and our website, 2-3x more than usual, so we could be well over 30 boats.

There will be at least 70 boats or more on the lake that weekend from the calls we got for it. Gonna be interesting heh?

You must mean with other tournaments... I don't think we could handle that kind of a turn out yet.

I have no doubts that the lake can handle that many boats though, there have been tournaments in years past with 100-150 boats in them.

I hope I'm not too late to book a cabin....
