As for myself, I do love fishing with the Orlando based guys, and the Slabfest, and Slabtogether Tournaments, and get togethers.. Though it's a haul for me as most of the get togethers are 75 - 125 miles plus for me...

Best of it are they are free, or low cost...

I would fish more of the West Central Tournaments with you guys Harold.. But the $50 per boat for me, tends to be a factor most of the time.. Not saying there's anything wrong with it..

I just don't fish Crappie consistently enough, or can commit to fishing enough with a partner to spend the money on top of other expenses involved.

That's one thing that I do like about the Slab Tournaments, it's more of a good time, get together with a good group of guys, teasing and joking with each other.

Anyways, I do plan on fishing in a few of your get togethers, it just hasn't worked out for me as of yet..

And I definitely want to get together again with the Slab guys, but it looks as though those events are declining somewhat at the moment..
