I have been inspired by the BOY SCOUTS! In addition I have PM'd s4wvd to insure no toes are stepped upon!

They have a lake of epic proportions in S.E. KS. Seriously guys: if there is interest here I will do my best to get this done. It is 400 acres of pure bass heaven! If you choose to participate not only will your donation go to one the best causes you will have the privilege to fish one of the best lakes in KS! I have done a few things with them and if we have any interest here I would organize the first KS BOY SCOUT BENEFIT TOURNEY!

Gents and Ladies: They have a 400 acre lake that is AWESOME! They do not allow motors but they allow you to put your boat on and use your TM.

BR MEMBERS: post up if your are interested: If we get enough interest I will propose it to the council. It would be a minimum of 75 per head (most likely tax deductable) donation to the Boy Scouts of America.

POST UP IF YOU WANT ME TO PURSUE!

Happy Releasing,

H.G.

I don't typically give an inch to any public opinion.........It will be back some day :)  3 years at K-state- 2 years at Pitt!  My degree is from Pitt!

Better boys  :)

Nobody else interested in fishing quivira if I can get them to allow us?  I am at home sick today but I will call her tomorrow and see what she says.

8-) You da man. I'm a current pitt state student.

I doubt I'd be able to scrounge up any cash to make it but it's a really good idea, sorry I'll miss it!

C'mon  people, this is a great opportunity to fish a great fishery that gets zero pressure.

That's better hydrilla.   :)

I just got off the phone with the council. THEY ARE INTERESTED. They would like me to write a proposal which I will do. They will require a minimum of $1,000.00 to be made that day for THE BOY SCOUTS and more would really turn their heads.

SO:

Here is my thoughts: It sounds like we have about 6 interested. I can rally a couple additional. This tournament is for bragging rights and to benefit the BOY SCOUTS (and in exchange we will get to fish a wonderful lake).

~THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO KS RESIDENTS

~ The lake is between Sedan, KS and Moline, KS. 2 miles E. of Hwy 99

~THERE IS CHEAP LODGING IN SEDAN KS (I will get the hotel's address if we have some out of towners)

~There are several other great lakes in the area to make a weekend out of it. Sedan old city lake, Sedan new city lake, Big Hill, Polk Daniels to name a few.

~I will gurantee them $1,000.00 minium. If we don't make it, I will pay the rest :). So lets get some people!

~It will be tax deductable.

~ not sure of the exact size but it is well over 400 acres and the clearist lake I have fished. It has smalls and Blacks to name a few.

~ Trophy will be provided!

My proposal's synopsis:

~ one day only: Two dates I can do this: May 31 or June 21

~Guranteed a minimum of $1,000.00 to be raised for the BSA Quivira chapter

~No live well fish - paper only - "on your honor"

~Each boat is $200.00 ($100.00 per angler) since we are not weighing fish - each boat will need two people (team so to speak)

~no polygraph will be given

~lunch will be provided by yours truly

~this lake is no wake - you may idle with big engines then use TM when you get to location you wish to fish or use your TM all the time.

~I will see if they will donate a membership/lease for 2008 to be auctioned with a minum bid at the end of the day for all that would be interested.

~You don't have to a member of BR to participate - this is for the Boy Scouts but it would be nice if we can get enough together without having to 'out-source' that said if you have a buddy to team with go for it!

I am sure there will be a little more to it but I am at work and need to get back to it :)

THE LAKE:

I have fished here a couple times.

~ Large watershed built in the late 50's I think

~ very clear with any structure you can think of. Large cliff walls, flats, coves, grass, some standing timber- I think it hits 50' deep in parts.

~ 30 to 40 fish day is expected :o

~ DOW has shocked DD bass out it in the past

~ All in all one of the finest lakes in Kansas in my opinion. I am giving up one of my sweeties here!

~ you will not regret participating in this fun fish.

I don't have a map per say: Here are a couple Google images I saved for your consideration.

If you are interested: Post up and let me know which date would work best for you. With some additional input and after I propose the council and get their feedback we will have to lock it down.

I will start a count with screen names:

POT COMMITTED:

Hydrilla + 1 = $200.00

possibles:

Flatfish?

Ring Fry?

Thomas Wells?

W4SVC

Rays777

Lets pull this off! I would love to meet some of you and fish this great lake again!

Happy Releasing,

H.G. :)

PS- mods - I tried to resize the pics but everytime I do my explorer shuts down?? Sorry!

I could do June 21st, but I am not sure about my fishing partner....  I might possibly be looking for a boater if he is not available.  I will stay tuned to see what happens

hydrillagorilla2,

This is a great idea.. I would like to help, I would be more than happy to build up a custom rod for raffling off, this could help with your bottom line....

What I would need is input on what length and power, whether or not it should be conventional or spiral wrapped. It WILL have split grips.

Keep me informed and let me know what you think...

Tight Lines All!!!!

WOW :)  Thanks David!  May I say:  YOU ARE THE MAN!

We will see if this thing gets any additonal steam but right now, I don't think she is going to take off as a BR only tournament (no offense to anyone!  You have been wonderful) When I get back from TX I am going to have lunch with a member of the council and maybe we can create an open tournament to benefit those guys (BR members will be the first notified of course)!  

B.S.A. is a great organization that needs our support!

Happy Releasing,

H.G.
