It began with a PM to Curtis (litewirehooker) several weeks ago and followed up with a telephone call a couple of weeks ago. He contacted several folks that fish Talquin on a regular basis and I contacted several folks that fish Monroe regularly. We thought that it might be fun to set up a day to fish both lakes simultaneously. No limit on the number of fishermen and fisher-ladies and it would be a NO rules event. We were going to fish from daybreak until noon at which time everyone would meet back at the dock and weigh the 7 BIGGEST FISH collectively from the days fishing. Then we would make a telephone call to each other with the weight of the 7 Fish. Based on this I guess we establish temporary bragging rights for the Lake with the heaviest weight. This may or could be be to be repeated in the fall as well. It wasn't Florida vs Georgia because several Talquin folks are Florida fishermen. Also, we don't plan to exclude anyone who has a desire to fish either lake. Actually, the more the better. The intent is to get the best representation of big fish from each lake on that day. It’s been my experience Monroe produces BIG fish catches in November and December. They’re still there we just have to hook them and with as many lines in the water the better our chances. Curtis and I had planned February 18th as tentative date, but I sent him a pm and explained that we are possibly scheduling our February Slabfest on that date and maybe we could schedule a date in March. I hope this clears things up and if not launch me a PM and we’ll exchange phone numbers. But, as of now NO date has been decided.

Yes please NOT the 24th cause our Get Together is that date and has been for a long time.

The Florida board is throwing out a possible date of January 21 or January 28...Just something to think about for some input on these dates....I was kinda hoping for Late Feb-Early March when the bite is usually better but I am game for whenever.

[litewirehooker]

Looking like early March TBD

Could be fun. Maybe I can work it out to come down and try to add to the weight. Either way....good excuse to get together with some good folks.

Sounds like fun. Nothing wrong with a little bit of rivalry between friends.Thumbs Up
