The water over here is clear and the lake is in great shape. If you have never been on this side of the state, you really should check it out. I hope many of you will make the trip over and fish on Saturday. If some of you want to come Friday and spend the night, the nearest hotel is in Marion which is about 25-30 minutes from the lake. Marion has several hotels/motels and I would most likely suggest the Hampton Inn. I've never stayed at any of them.

Bonds Grocery will be the registration site. They will have breakfast sandwiches, bisquits, drinks, ice, minnows ($1.89/dozen), gas, etc. They normally open at 6 am. There's plenty of time to get all your stuff and get in the water before time to start fishing.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!!!
