I feel sure that they are not over, but maybe a little more space in between the events and some other volunteers to step up and head take over an event or 2 might spark more participation. I'll be glad to volunteer to help out in any way I can for a Slabtogether at Crescent next January. The FL group I have met over the past 3-4 years are some of the best people I have been associated with and I'd love to see it continue. We have been having very successful events at Talquin for the past 4-5 years, but we just usually do 1 event a year so we really put our all into it. To do one every month would be way too much for me. I know Talquin is a pretty good trip for most of yall, but October 30 will be our annual Get Together there and I hope to see some of yall there.

Tim, I think that you have a good idea for Crescent lake next Jan. I hope to be there and I will volunteer my time to help you run an event. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here, just trying to help. That is if I'm even in Florida at that time. I have had some stents put in both legs because of blockage and I hope they work.

I am willing to participate. Being somewhat new to this and reading all the posts, it sounds like a lot of fun. Some other things to think about: select a location where multiple lakes can be fished. i.e. have the fest/ at Newnans Lake which has a nice park but Lochloosa, Orange and even Sante Fe can be fished (same for Leesburg area). Find a local hotel willing to offer discounts for the event. I am willing to help with the leg work.
