Lots of fun . Great auction at the end of it to help raise money.

encourage all to attend if you can make it.

I'll be there for sure. What will be in the auction?

See you there Don!! Sticky, in the past they've had things like an autographed basketball from Bill Self, and autographed football from Bill Snyder. Don't know if that will be the case this year.

Thanks ozark. It's my first tournament. Should be a lot of fun. Forecast is showing rain and 15 mph winds but there's plenty of time for that to change. You know what they say about Kansas weather.

Probably change 3 times by the time it gets here!

I won't be able to make it this year got a wedding in Salina but this tournament is for a great cause and I'm wishing all who participate good weather and lots of fish (the spawn is on and should be even better by this weekend) God bless all the special needs kids and adults.:pray:HandsClapping

That's just great Doug, you're coming to Salina and I'll be @ Clinton!!! Weather is not looking promising at this point!!

It looks like the rain will be over by 3-4 AM Saturday. Starting out the day with fog then partly sunny by 10.
I hope everyone keeps it slow if we have thick fog at the start. We don't want anybody running into another boat or the hundreds of standing timber on Clinton

Where you getting that info Captain?

Heck,,, I'm in a 'FOG' every morning.:Rofl:biggrin <*)}}}><

Now, no fog, just 30-50% chance of rain and thunderstorms, As long as there is no lightening I'll stay dry under the aluminum roof on my pontoon.
The forecast will change by Friday evening.

Here is the weather site I use. Lawrence, Kansas (66044) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground
Looks like the rain will be over by 3-4 AM. West and northwest winds around 12-15 MPH will make fishing Clinton will be tough.

Congradulations to Schrock and Schrock 1st place and Mannis and Mannis 2nd (sorry if I miss spelled either of these)

THESE 2 teams dominated the field today with 10lbs and 9.5 pounds.

3rd place (Capt Dan ad myself) had just shy of 7.5
Followed closely by a lot of teams above 7 lbs.

IT WAS A fun wet day. Thanks to all the volunteers that give up there days to put this tournament on.
as well the many sponsor who donate items for the raffle, auction, lunch,

Hope to see you all again NEXT year

good job guys we had fun we ended up with 9 fish 6.17 pounds see you all next year

Thank you Don for making it a fun day despite the wind and rain. This has been the 4th year that I've fished this tournament, but the first to place.
Bunch of great guys. No one moved into our spot around 11 AM when we went to the marina for more minnows and to replace my measuring box that someone took off my pontoon at my slip last week. Sure made a long day after cleaning the 18 crappie that Don and I determined where to small, but over 10",most where 11", to weigh in.
