I'm planning on driving down, leaving Rhinelander on the morning of the
19th. According to Mapquest, 25 hours and 27 minutes and1,592.98 miles
later, I should be pulling into Okeechobee. I'll bet I can cut a couple
hours off that time!

If you're planning to be at Okeechobee and your name isn't on the roster
(http://moebassguide.com/roster.html), then register so we'll have an idea
of how many boats will be needed.

[alwayfishking]

This is gonna be something else, for those of you who are not coming, you
will miss something special, You might want to reconsider coming down to
Florida.

I need some more line and a few more weights and hooks, but evrything else
seems to have been packed and shipped by Bass pro shops nicely, as well as
some donated plastics that I definetly will catch fish with. This is going
to be awesome, just need to throw the rod wraps around, would hate to make
the trip with Harry and have all my rods nice and neat. Wouldn't be the
same.

Doc I'll take you up on your offer just in case somebody doesn't want to
spend a day or two on the water with me but can't imagine that happening : )

I figure day one draw is a crap shoot but day two I'll be on the back of the
Nitro for sure. Need me to bring anything Charles?

They like California better. But we do feed them trout.

[Baitgal]

Trout?????
Sheeesh...that's like feeding bass minnows in this part of the country!
I heard tell once that LM's are starting to feast on deer due to the lack of
"minnow" trout in Texas:)

Husband of my wife's friend was fishing a local stocked lake. He hooked a
nice trout, probably 12-16" and as he was reeling in the fish, he said a big
bass, came up and chomped the trout and broke him off. I believe it. I
have seen 12-14# trout in this lake. Not able to get them to bite, but have
seen them. Last spawn, I was float tubing the main lake and only got 1
trout on a dropshot rig. No bass. Had 5 swimming one time about 4' from my
fins. Tried everything. And they ranged from probably 3# smallest to maybe
7# largest. Is an old gravel quarry, so always stays clear.

I read somewhere that the only bass program California has is the trout
trucks that come every tuesday and thursday. Oh yeah and the perfect
enviroment thing. Might be doing a trip to California this summer in the San
Diego area. Hope to get a few days out fishing
