Any chance on putting a few more Florida's back in the lake one day? IF you need local man power to assist you in any projects please let me know and I will see what I can round up to help .

Just know that we have always cared a great deal for Greers Ferry and have always put in the effort to make it a better fishery. Sometimes mother nature deals you a card that overcomes all of your hard work. That is life. Also through time we have learned some valuable lessons of what works and what does not work. Management stratigies are changing on Greers Ferry as we speak. It is unlikely that we will put Florida Largemouths in Greers again. For starters, Greers is in on the far northern range of where these fish have been stocked and I have not seen any evidence (data) that suggests that they would do well. Also we could not stock enough Floridas to make a difference in an already established Northern Largemouth population. Even in lakes such as Atkins , which was completely renovated, the northern subspecies is becoming more and more of the population. Northern Largemouths just do better this far north.

Thanks for the offer to help out. We will be planning another large habitat project this winter. PM me your contact number and I will keep you in the loop. Thanks.

PM sent you way ,Thanks.

I've had the tempress high back navi style in 3 different boats now and my only complaint is that they are a few degrees too upright. People get in my sled and ask if the seat reclines any and im like no and who has a boat seat that reclines anyway.

Im trying to get the millenium seats and theyve been on backorder.

Hopefully my response didn't come off as being ungrateful or harsh. I would rather talk to someone in person or the phone than in typed words. Sometimes things don't come off how you intend. Thanks for your support!

Your response was not harsh at all. I also got the impression that he was implying that basically nothing has been done until now to improve the conditions at Greers. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it sounded to me.
