Well, now that all the hubbub has died down from the Mid-Tennessee, it's
once again time to look ahead to the NWC.

It's going to be a little different this year. First of all, the date
has
changed. It is no longer being held the weekend after Labor Day as it
has
in the past.

This year, the dates are August 26 and 27. I changed the dates for
several reasons. First of all, I thought that with many schools
starting
just before/after Labor Day, that if we moved the date ahead somewhat,
there might be some father/mother/son/daughter teams attending without
school getting in the way.

Secondly, after hearing some sniveling about "no bass in Boom Lake", I
decided to move the tourney to Lake Mohawksin, my very favorite
smallmouth
lake. There has always been a bass tournament on Lake Mohawksin the
same
weekend as the traditional NWC, so by moving up the date, we get first
crack at the lake. This is a quality smallmouth fishery and if you
can't
catch fish on Lake Mohawksin, you might as well take up golf.

And finally, I'm going to be in Wyoming, at the top of a mountain,
chasing
elk for my television show. Last year I had to go later in the year and
missed the elk rutting season, thus having a nice 3,000 mile round trip
sightseeing tour. While I enjoy hiking in the mountains, it's hard to
make an elk hunting show without the elk. Hence the tourney is getting

moved.

This move to a different lake will really change things very little. We
will still have The Claridge Best Western Motor Lodge as the
headquarters.
Everyone seems to like it there, we get special pricing for the event
and
it's convenient for the rest of the festivities. We will still have
dinner Thursday night at The Pub, Friday night we will descend like
locusts on The Al-Gen for the BEST Friday Night Fish Fry on the planet
and
Saturday night we'll still have the award ceremony/feast at my place.

The major change is that we'll have to get a move on earlier in the
morning because there'll be a 25 minute drive to the landing.

So mark your calendars for August 26 and 27. As in the past,
pre-fishing
is always allowed and even encouraged. Remember that this is similar
water to Boom Lake as it is a dammed up impoundment of the Wisconsin
River. It is roughly the same in size, somewhere around 1,800 acres and
water color is stained. There are thick weeds, lily pads, wild rice,
stumps, rocks, flats, shallows, relatively deep water and something for
everyone. There are some largemouth in the lake, but I've only caught
on
four pounder last year. Like I said, this will be a smallmouth
tournament.

The event is open to all participating members of the ROFB and
OutdoorFrontiers.com so if you hang out here, you're welcome to attend.

It's a fun event, with lots of stories, laughter, fun and fishing. What
better way to spend a long weekend?

Mark your calendars and plan on coming to the Rhinelander/Tomahawk
Wisconsin area in August.
