| Thanks again for coming and keeping everything honest. You know how us bass
fishermen are! We're thinking Lake Barkley next year. That's not quite as far for everyone.
Hope you can make it! |

| I'm still open for Okee myself! We're not going to make any plans right now, but when we do... we'll take a
vote on a choice of a few lakes. Okee has my vote now! |

| I would be willing to bet you don't have to take a vote. I'm in for Okee |

| It's an awful long ways for the Northern boys to drag a boat, and there's
none to be rented. Maybe every 4th year or something wouldn't be too bad.
Barclay sounds like a winner. |

| Better read up on the problems there before making a choice. An article
in the local paper is predicting huge toxic algae blooms that may kill
most of the fish this summer. Seems all the hurricanes stirred up what
they are calling poisions, but is probably fertilizer, and there might
be a real problem. And who locally will set it up? Better wait and see. |

| Charles, Hey, I'm a lurker mostly...figure I can learn more with my mouth shut,
or fingers in a fist! Anyway, if you are considering moving the MTC
next year, you might consider a trip down to Guntersville in Alabama.
Technically, its the Tennesee River so it could still be called the
MTC...Seriously, there are several places on the lake that would be
appropriate to fish out of, including the Lake Guntersville State Park
or Goose Pond Colony. Both the State Park and Goose Pond have websites
that you can check out the facilities. The State Park is located down
near the city of Guntersville and Goose Pond is located near Scottsboro,
Al. If you watched the Bassmaster tourney there in Feb. (they fished the
first two days out of the State Park), there are lots of big fish in the
lake and usually are catchable! I say that, I was over there in March
and only was able to make one bite, but it was a 5lber! I grew up on the lake but live in the Atlanta area now so I would love
to have an excuse to go back! BD |

| UH - it is further for some. Remember, Tenn is north and KY is further
north. I will be there whereever it is! |

| Actually, about the same, 10 hours to Okeechobee, 8 to Barkley. I have
great memories of KY Lake/Barkley - that is where I placed second in the
Southern Divisional way back in 1983. Missed going to the Classic by
about two pounds. |

| That is awesome Ronnie. That is definitely something I would remember
fondly. I only hope I ever get the chance to get that close to the classic. Chris |

| Exactly how far down in Georgia are you Ron? Until the other day, I though
you were in/near Atlanta. Do you have any lakes you'd like to put up for consideration? I wouldn't
mind fishing Georgia or Alabama. |
