THE MAY 4TH CLASSIC WILL BE AT THE HOLY LANDS AS STATED. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM TODD KERSEY AS FAR AS ANY OTHER EVENTS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME. I LOOKED AT ALL FT MYERS CLUBS AND SEEN NO HOLY LANDS ON THERE DATE OF MAY 4TH. 100"S OF ANGLERS FISHED BRUTAL CONDITIONS FOR A CHANCE TO GET IN THE 20 BOAT FIELD AND MY CLUB MEMBERS WORKED HARD TO GET TO THIS EVENT, MY FAMILY HAS BEEN ON HOLD FOR FIVE MONTHS AND I WILL NOT DELAY THIS EVENT. THERE WILL BE BLM MEMBERS OUT THERE TO WATCH THE CLASSIC TEAMS TRUCKS AND WEIGH IN WILL BE 4PM . I AM SORRY IF THERE IS OTHER ANGLERS OUT THERE BUT I PROMISED JON FURY OF THE FWC THAT THIS WOULD BE THE LOCATION TO PROMOTE THE NEW PARK IN HOPES THAT HE CAN GET THE STATE TO BUILD OTHER RAMPS ON NON BOATING WATERS AND EXPAND THE AREA"S THAT CLUBS CAN FISH. I KNOW IT WILL BE A PAIN IN THE BUTT IF THE OTHER CLUB FISHES BUT GET UP EARLY AND GET A SPOT. IF THEY DO COME I WILL ALSO ASK THERE DIRECTOR TO YIELD THE TAKE OFF AND ASK HIS BOATERS TO GIVE A FAIR DISTANCE BETWEEN BOATS. ALL PRE FISHING REPORTS HAVE BEEN GREAT WITH SOME GIANT FISH BEING CAUGHT AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR.... THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT. BLM

AS FAR AS ALL THE TRAILS AT HOLIDAY PARK , IT IS GOOD TO HAVE THEM IF THEY CAN HELP KEEP THE CANALS OPEN AND EVERYONE CAN AND SHOULD PLAY A PART IN THIS. EVERYONE CAN FISH WHAT THE TRAILS THAT BEST FIT THERE NEEDS.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
BLM

Your a honest and fair man blm and I all most want to ask you if you were a fellow Canuck ? Your team trail rocks and after I get the classic win , I will be as honest and fair with my year of fame even better than your past champions , As I hold the championship trophy high above my head , I want the second place team to hold a little Canadian flag above the trophies for my picture. Oh what joy it is going to be to be a champion like my favorite hockey team the Canucks.

Bottom line Mike, if I win the classic I will donate 1/3 of my winnings to the safer organization; because I have recently been reading about all your efforts. My name is Ron and I am on boat 14. And that's my promise to safer.

Good luck to us all! We are pre-fishing tomorrow, which is Saturday, and any information that I can forward I wall gladly do. I will be packing sun screen and a positive attitude.

BLM, The Canuk is right, you do a great and appreciated job. I know the time and effort put into this must be tremondous and i'm sure your wife is ready to kill you by now. This has become one of the great local events down here,(and i do mean "local".)I'm sure you have some type of sympathy for the directors of these bigger trails trying to move in down here because of the negative posts a few years back but the differance was in your case it was a few kids or one moron having what he thought was a good time. In these recent ones it is local fisherman attacking out of concern. Keep up the good work (as long as you can) and good luck at the open.

Thanks BLM for a trail the average addicted fisherman can compete in against some great bass fisherman!!And you dont have to have the fastest boat on the water to be competitive!!!I like the idea of the holey lands it levels the playing feild for all,it's any ones day... thanks Mike!!!

Thanks to all and see you sunday. If I ever couldn't do the series , I wouldn't be a sell out, I would put the series in very good hands.
It has been a great series for the past 3 years and I hope she will be around for years to come even if I had to pass her off someday...blm
