I am open to anything - plenty of good ones here - Eufaula, West Point, Clark's
Hill, Lanier, Hartwell, Russell, Oconee (We could stay at the Ritz Carlton
between the golf course and the edge of lake - I think rooms start at about
$300 a night) - Sinclair, Jackson, Seminole, and a few others. Or I will
travel!

I know we hashed this around before -- but I'd suggest to the group we
expand the offerings to 3 events a year. I know, not *everyone* could
make all three, but it might open the doors for some of our lurkers --
or geographically challenged anglers --- to attend one of these fun
tourneys.

Big O is farther than I care to travel but I think it's an awesome place
for a tourney -- especially with Moe and Doc in charge.

Georgia / SC/ Texas all have outstanding fisheries.

And if Tennessee is great, Barkely sounds awesome -- maybe fishing from
either the KY or Tn side.

And while we're on a mini - rant: how about if Warren, Rich Z and those
two from NY/NJ: ThunderKing and AlwaysFishboy get together and put on a
North East get together.

Heck, we could do a spring, summer, fall and winter tourney!!!!!



(PS: Yes, we could do an Iowa tourney -- but the only hawgs here have
four legs and are standing in light at the slaughter house. Now deer
hunting, hmmmm, that's a different news group)

I would be there for the Big-O next year had trailer issues this year (new
axel on the way) or I would have been there this year.

Lake Toho would be nice! with a few fish camps on the lake and a multitude
of motels that cater to anglers real close. add to that you have Disney
world, Universal Orlando, sea world, Kennedy space center. gatorland and
Arabian nights right there to help convince the family to go.

There are just too many good places to fish between Kentucky and Florida,
that it's getting hard to decide which ones to fish. Here are some good ones
(not based on personal experience) in the Tennessee Area.

1: Kentucky/Barkley Lakes (I've fished Barkley)
2: Douglas Lake
3: Old Hickory Lake (Fished this one too)
4: Watts Bar
5: Pickwick
6: Reelfoot (Think very shallow)
7: Nickajack Lake
8: Center Hill Lake
9: Dale Hollow Lake
10: Tellico Lake
11: Tims Ford Lake

Of the above lakes, numbers 1, 2, 8, and 9 would be my choices for another
Tennessee location. Kentucky/Barkley lakes would be a more centralize
location for almost everyone and maybe we can even get some of the
Westerners to think about joining.

April is always a pretty good month, as is May. I'm free for anything next
year.

I really like Center Hill and Hurricane Dock - Fritz and I had a great time -
no fish like the big ones in Fla but good numbers and those spots fight hard!
I am open to anything. I figured everyone would be wanting to return to
Okeechobee after this year's results.

Yea - Eufaula was pretty good for me while yall were in Fla. Sat tournament
took 18 pounds to win there, and I could have weitghed in 15 to 18 every day
before the weekend. So the time of year can be good , and the facilities at
Lakepoint are great - but they are remodeling and may be closed next year.
They have cabins, rooms, resturant, a marina and camping all in one spot.

The draw down is in 4 year cycles and shouldn't be a problem next spring and
if you plan it in early March you will see weigh in bags busting out with
possible 30+ pounds.Add to that you have the Kissimmee chain to play on.
This lake is just the right size for an event like this not to big not to
small with big hawgs and keepers all over the place and if you want to you
can make a major run to another lake or two. I for one would love to get
away from all the snow here in Michigan during March with weather in the mid
70's to low 80's during that time you wont get fried either.

Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind Kentucky/Barkley either I got a
tournament there in April next year so I wouldn't complain.

So how about it? Champlain in Summer if not this year, put the wheels

And as a note, while prizes are cool and all, I think just as a many
people would come without goodie bags and door prizes -- and if you
wanted, you could make the dinner a "bring something to share" pot luck
like of deal....

Any of your NE cohorts want to scout out a lodge/campground/ neighbor's

This is something that TC and Randy were considering for last year. I know
that TC fell in love with Champlain. I'd like to see it happen there this

I disagree. Doing it out of the southern end of the lake would open it up
for more boats. Just a whole lot more accessible, protected water down
there. The big boats could still run as far north as they cared to.

I still want to return to Okee, I would be more than happy to have a NE
Classic up at Champlain and would gladly donate my time setting things up,
at the same time I wouldn't want to take away from the NWC, after all this
was the place of my first ROFB tourney and the beggining of many friendships
here. So I wouldn't want to take away from that. I couldn't possibly do all
three in 1 year. and strangely enough the thought of missing one is not
something I want to think about.

Now if Mr. Huber wanted to take a break next year from the wonderful job
he has done in the past, then that would definetly open up the possibility
for a good NE classic. And while me and Harry have a list of about 24 lakes
we want to fish together, boom lake is the lake I want to pull a limit
from,(in 1 day) and besides no one throws an after hours party better than
Steve. IMO : )

Hey Randy: Think summer! If not 2004, how about next summer.

Like I said, everyone may not make all three -- but I know there have to
be a bunch of NE ROFB'ers who could get away for a 3 day weekend.

I've already looked at Mapquest (20 hours) Dang I might even drag the boat!

Water's too skinny down there in my opinion. Too long a run to those bustin
smallies up North too. What better place to start than half way up the
lake? The VT scenery & surroundings blows away that South end too. Gotta
go for the whole experience on Champlain. Heck, Mallett's Bay is like a
giant lake itself, perfect for those smaller boats.

Mid to Late September seems like the optimal time to fish Champlain from
what I've seen.

Well I will be in mid season of the BFL and NBBAA during the summer so I
don't think I could make it. April in FL is a great time for me with snow
still on the ground I can go fish in warm weather and not get in the way of
my tournaments

Did any one see Shaw G. on TOHO today on the OLN channel? All I can say is
big fish!

"Fritz Nordengren" wrote in message

So how about it? Champlain in Summer if not this year, put the wheels
in motion for next year?

And as a note, while prizes are cool and all, I think just as a many
people would come without goodie bags and door prizes -- and if you
wanted, you could make the dinner a "bring something to share" pot luck
like of deal....

Any of your NE cohorts want to scout out a lodge/campground/ neighbor's
front yard for us to call home?

I know we hashed this around before -- but I'd suggest to the group we
expand the offerings to 3 events a year. I know, not *everyone* could
make all three, but it might open the doors for some of our lurkers --
or geographically challenged anglers --- to attend one of these fun
tourneys.

Big O is farther than I care to travel but I think it's an awesome place
for a tourney -- especially with Moe and Doc in charge.

Georgia / SC/ Texas all have outstanding fisheries.

And if Tennessee is great, Barkely sounds awesome -- maybe fishing from
either the KY or Tn side.

And while we're on a mini - rant: how about if Warren, Rich Z and those
two from NY/NJ: ThunderKing and AlwaysFishboy get together and put on a
North East get together.

Heck, we could do a spring, summer, fall and winter tourney!!!!!



(PS: Yes, we could do an Iowa tourney -- but the only hawgs here have
four legs and are standing in light at the slaughter house. Now deer
hunting, hmmmm, that's a different news group)

If it is at The Big O next year, I will be there. No questions asked.
I would LOVE to go back there if at all possible. However, you know
that Eufala is on "The List" and would be a no brainer too. Santee

Interestingly enough, I was looking at the May Field and Stream and one of top
5 places to go for bass in the Where To Go article on Bass Heaven (p132) is
West Point Lake and Highland Marina. (I wonder how much they had to pay?) The
Georgia Top Six will be on West Point in early April next year (out of Southern
Harbor Marina.)

There are just too many good places to fish between Kentucky and Florida,
that it's getting hard to decide which ones to fish. Here are some good ones
(not based on personal experience) in the Tennessee Area.

1: Kentucky/Barkley Lakes (I've fished Barkley)
2: Douglas Lake
3: Old Hickory Lake (Fished this one too)
4: Watts Bar
5: Pickwick
6: Reelfoot (Think very shallow)
7: Nickajack Lake
8: Center Hill Lake
9: Dale Hollow Lake
10: Tellico Lake
11: Tims Ford Lake

Of the above lakes, numbers 1, 2, 8, and 9 would be my choices for another
Tennessee location. Kentucky/Barkley lakes would be a more centralize
location for almost everyone and maybe we can even get some of the
Westerners to think about joining.

April is always a pretty good month, as is May. I'm free for anything next
year.
