Steve, I recently did a small tournament for an on-line community.
What I
did was pick the body of water and then check all the local club
tournament
schedules. I selected all other dates that were open and then posted a
poll
on my website to let people select the dates that were best for them.
It
was marked to "select all dates that would be open for you." Then we
picked
the date that the most people were able to attend. We still had a
couple
people who could not make it do to scheduling conflicts, but all of
those
who really really wanted to be there were able to make it. Perhaps
something like that might be in order. You can't please everybody, but
you
might be able to get the most of the people that way. Just a
suggestion.

Well, it's like this. I work full time at the Rhinelander Fire
Department. I started
OutdoorFrontiers Multi-Media LLC and am the host/producer for the
nationally televised show, Steve
Huber's OutdoorFrontiersTV. I guide a fair amount of time. I try to
write articles for
OutdoorFrontiers.com and edit those that people send to me. I try to
maintain the website and build
custom rods. I had a huge backlog of rods and I'm down to two left to
build. I'm going to be in
Africa on Safari in July, in Wyoming elk hunting in September, as well as
whitetail and exotic
hunting.

It would be nice to have the luxury of giving options, but it's like
this....

It's August 26 and 27 or not at all.

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.

Or just let the host pick the dates that work for him. No date is
gonna be good for everybody.

I'm going to try & make it. Couple of different guys I need to ask to
come along. 3-4 days of fishing, smallies & largies in the water.
Shouldn't be to hard talking someone into it. Also I must replace a guy
at work that just quit or I'll be knee deep in #@*@^ by then.

Ok Steve, see if you can give me some simple directions from Rhinelander, to
see if I can find this on my map...

So far, my plans are to be there. I think Joe mentioned bringing someone
with him, so I've got to talk Dave into riding up with me. Whatcha say
Dave?

How about a little information about the structure of the lake Steve? Is
it shallow like Boom? Any trouble for Jerry this year? How's running on
that lake? You know I'm a sissy in shallow water...

The lake is, as I said, very similar to Boom Lake, only not as nice.
There are places that I don't even run on plane.

It has shallow stump fields, it has rocky points and gravel bars, it has
downed timber and expansive weedbeds. In short, it has a little bit of
everything. Roughly 1,800 acres in size, part of the water is very
river-like, the other part is pretty wide open with a few islands. There
are channels into other bodies of water, and all sorts of stuff to fish.

There's also stuff to run up on if you're not careful. I would suggest
that boaters attending pick up a Fishing HotSpots map of Lake Mohawksin
and I'll mark it with permanent marker to let you know where the dangerous
spots are that I know of.

Lake Mohawksin is located in Tomahawk Wisconsin, about 20 miles west of Rhinelander. Follow Highway
8 west to Highway 51 south.

Or follow the Wisconsin River from Rhinelander, either way will get you there.

Even then - I missed the trip to Fla last year because of my Top Six.

Everyone should diet first. ;-)

LOL, I wasn't criticizing. Just noticing how many people seemed to have
issue with the date. I know how much work it is to host a tournament.

Two things I want to do before I die.
1. Catch a nice smallmouth since I have never ever fished a "smallmouth
lake".
2. Eat walleye,since I have always heard they are the best to eat.
After that I would like to fish with Jerry Barton to see if we can fish
w/out laughing our butts off !
Then just take me home Jesus!
