Since this will be my first event I'll need a response posting back to see that there is enough interest for this event to go forward.  Thank You!          

I'd love to sign right up, but since the next two weekends are already filled with events, I cant say now which one(s) i'll be able to attend.  If it was a week earlier, i'd probably be able to commit to it. 

The 8th is Easter, so attendance could be low. I would try to make it though.

Tough date Easter and, with Clear Lake the following week and Berryessa the next. I am all over Delta fishing but will have to wait and see. Might be a better option to fish on Saturday.

I was thinking about late March but with April more folks will be able to catch fish, plus the weather usually gets warmer in the morning and through out the day in April.  I understand there are two other events in April so let me know I could possibly switch it to March.  Besides that I will have to opt for Saturday, April 7Th, if Sunday the 8Th doesn't work for the majority.   

Gonna have to keep this event in April, so date will either be Saturday, April 7, or Sunday, April 8.  Teaser, http://www.quantumfishing.com/products/2185/Smoke-PT.aspx!  One of top 3 prizes.

Remember I like right hand models. I have several Quantums and like them all.

Tough one but ill try and make it

Here's something!

The best way I catch fish in April, just about anywhere for bass, is with a stick bait (perferibly 5.75"-6"), unless you've got a better plan.  Start the morning looking in the shallows in areas 2-5 ft of weeds, rocks, wood, and docks.  Low tide look for broken clusters of weed and work the area.     

Sorry folks but will have to pull the plug off this one for personal reasons.   

It's all right we'll get otu there soon and make it a Fish and Chill!
