If you plan on coming to the Southern Classic, be sure to register on the site.
If you don't register, don't worry we will make room for you. Everybody is
welcome, but we would just like to have an idea on how many to expect. We will
be having a cookout Thursday night at the Pier 2 Motel which will include gator
for those of you that enjoy such things. If you plan on bringing anything for
the cookout, please let me know. We will draw for day 1 partners at this time
and go over the rules. Any gift packs will be given out then and we will have a
drawing for some great donations. The festivities will start at 5:30 PM.

Okeechobee does have a slot limit, all fish between 13 and 18 inches must be
released and you can only keep 1 fish over 22 inches. We do have exemption
cards for the tournament and we will hand these out at the ramp Friday morning.
You must carry this card with you in order to keep slot fish for the weigh in.
The card is good for both tournament days but not for practice. Wives,
girlfriends (please don't bring both) and children are welcome at all the
events planned and are more than welcome to fish with us.

If you need help with reservations or directions email Doc, He will be more
than glad to help you. I will be back in Okeechobee Monday or Tuesday and will
post both my cell number and home phone for you to contact me when you get in.
A lot of the contestants will be arriving Tuesday and should be at the Motel
that night. If you need a ride to prefish there should be plenty of boats
available -- both Steve and I can take at least 2 others with us. I do plan on
fishing every day prior to the tournament and we may convoy one day to the
famed Stick Marsh if anyone is interested. I looking forward to seeing old
friends and meeting some new ones.
