BPCL 2009

[Papa Grump]

Time to start thinking about the Belle Plaine Cat League for the upcoming summer. Our 1st meeting will be Saturday May 2nd at 1 pm at the Borough Bowl in Belle Plaine located on Ash street next to highway 169. This will allow everyone to enjoy the evening bite. I'm also asking for the DNR to be present to discuss the Flathead survey that's been conducted in the Le Sueur area.

Tentitive plans are for 6 nights of fishing, one Friday in May, 2 in June, 2 in August and one in September. I thought about doing only 2 in August ,but then Larry gets a little testy if I limit the post spawn dates

I'm capping this at 20 entries ,$60 entry fee. More to come as far as rules and everthing else, or look to the past years threads.

Papa,

So I'm thinking about do it this year, but not sure what it all entails. Would it be cool either way if I show up at the meeting?

[Slowhand]

Papa Grump I wouldnt mind showing up and listening to the DNR speaker if you get him if thats possible. And I would be up for a alternate/fillin if needed...Capt. or Rider. The regular dates just doesnt jive with my work schedule.

[Gordie]

I would really like to be apart of the PBL this year. I will be at the meeting.

[gooseby10ga]

I will also be there, and would like to be part of the PBL.

[rushing]

i would love to do the league but I work every other friday so I never know if it will work. only reason I havent done it in the past.

[harvey lee]

Sub for me as usual.

[aanderud]

I'll see y'all there on May 2.

[Papa Grump]

The initial meeting is open to anyone to hear what we are all about, so all are welcome to attend.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Well then count me in then!

[DTro]

I'll be out of town, but of course sign me up Brian.

[Blue Kayak]

Looking forward to seeing all of you again. The BPCL is the highlight of my summers.

[Larry FlatCaster]

Better count me...... in seeing that your keeping the tradition of the late post spawn dates... That seems to be time that I get a chance to shine.

See you in a couple weeks.

[wastewaterguru]

I am in again as well, Brian.

I should be able to make the meeting. Looking forward to another great season.

Post-spawn? If I remember correctly, Larry, you got a money fish on week 1 last year! That was the cat mat debut in fact!

Your right Mate... But...I think I pulled in a late season Money fish also.... The seasons start running together... It would be pretty cool to bring a hand out to the meeting this year to see the progression through the season last year. Its probably in last years thread.

Looking forward to this year.

[hanson]

It would be pretty cool to bring a hand out to the meeting this year to see the progression through the season last year.

Hmmmm... I could probably put something together.

- # of fish caught

- Avg weight of fish per night

- When the heaviest fish were caught

- etc, etc

I've got the data, just got to figure out how to use it.

I just may have the data over the last 3 years even.

[harvey lee]

After some more thought about this, I believe I will join this season as we need to make it a bit tougher on that LFC dude.

I gunning for you Larry.

[peder]

I'm in. I need to dump the monkey, things are going to change I can feel it!

[Scott K]

I would like to join this, but I would need to know what the days are going to be, as I have every other weekend somewhat filled for the summer, and I would need to know what the days were, to see if it would work for me.

[Larry FlatCaster]

I gunning for you Larry.

Tom.... your killin me. I have an awesome picture with you holding a nice flathead caught in my boat no less....

Glad you decided to become a regular this year.

That would be pretty cool Chris if you could put some info together... Do it if you can.

Come to the meeting. We usually plan the dates there.

[Scott K]

Good idea

[wastewaterguru]

For those who would like to join, the first meeting usually involves picking dates, paying money, picking partners, etc.

There may not be a chance to register after this meeting. If we decide at the meeting that we have enough to fill the league, then it's full.

Just wanted to clarify that for those that are "on the fence"

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

How much is it again, and is this tourny a money tourny. Or is it a bragging rights tourny. Most likely a dumb question, but had to ask.

[ec30_06]

$60 bucks this year

[Scott M]

I'm in but will be turkey hunting that weekend. If I tag out early, I'll be there to help pick dates. If we can avoid the holidays, we'll be golden. Papagrump I'll get my $60 to you the next time I see you. Put me down as a rider.

[Kyle B]

I am in as well but would like to switch it up to capt. if possible. Brent and myself need to keep the Flathead Pimp hat in Mankato where it has felt at home for the past 2 years!

[Shack]

Hey, Kyle crawls out from hibernation

Since Tom Upgraded, I should be able to at least Sub (if needed) for this year. I figure I would toss my hat in for that now if there is still time.

I will be at the meeting this year for sure, if anything just to hang out.

Funny thing is people may think this is a big commitment, but it is not. Do not get me wrong, if you sign up you have to be their, fish and most of all stay awake and alert , but I found my self down in legal waters pretty much ever league night last year. The league nights are spread out very nicely. If I recall, my big flat of last year came on a league night, but not in legal waters

Sign up if you can.
