The Brown Blast is once again back for our 12th year. We have moved the date a little bit later in the season so we don't have the ice issues like we had last year. (hopefully). for 2015, the date is the 18th of April. This year Darrin Schaap of Clear H2O Tackle is going to sponsor and run the show with some assistance from myself and others.
I am asking for a volunteer to help keep the sign up current and also for another volunteer to assist Darla at the weigh in. With my current health concerns, I have to take a step back from this.
Same rules will apply as last year but we are changing the weigh-in venue.
We are back to the Boat House once again!!!, it now called The Tavern on the River located at 600 Fisherman's Rd in St. Joe. They will have some drink and food specials for us. We also have use of the 12 boat slips once again for those that want to slip your boats or make it an overnight stay. As a bonus, we also have the use of the fish cleaning station next door as it is now all owned by the same people. That also opens up additional parking down by the fish cleaning station. The agreement is that we leave the fish cleaning station in better condition after we use it.
Pay your money at weigh in or before, here is the deal, if you sign up for this event and don't show we cover you. Then we expect payment ASAP. Pure and simple, commit and you are in, Commit and do a no show, send us your money. If you have to drop, you must post your drop on this thread no later then midnight the day before the event or call myself or Darrin with-in the same time frame.
We will do a captains meeting (not mandatory) Friday evening at the Tavern on the River, you can pay your entry there if you wish. We will make a weather call by 8:00 PM Friday evening and post it here on this tread.
The Coast Guard Aux will be doing boat inspections once again. Guys, do the inspection. If you don't pass, no big deal, correct the issue and then go to any CG and get your sticker. No fines, no penalties, no warnings. We have, over the years out of this port, lost brothers to the sea...this is our part to make us safe... take part in the inspections... there is no cost for this.
So, April 18th, everyone must launch out of St. Joseph or Benton Harbor, be that a slip or a launch. The river is fair game. Launch any time but lines in no earlier then 5 am, stop any time you want to but you must be at the weigh in ready for weigh in by 2 PM. That means in line ready to show your fish or you are DQ'd Give yourself plenty of time to recover your boat and get parked.
Rules of the game---
Weigh a 1 man DNR, 3/2, 2/3 or 5 salmon. As always, we play by the DNR rules.......
Except.......
9 rods max, I know some can run more but nine in the water at any one time but a max of 9 rods.
3 man limit in your catch....
10 pts per fish
1 point per pound
10 bonus points for each brown trout.
Weigh up to 5 fish (one man DNR)
This is still a $40 entry, with $5.00 going into the big fish pot. Big fish can be any species. Payout is 100% and the number of cash places depends on the number of boats. As we get closer, we will post up the payout schedule
OK, let’s use this thread for a simple sign up. For discussion, let's start a new thread.....
