Yes, I do tow with a 4 wheel drive pickup but it sounds like I need to expect to make a drive each day. I look forward to meeting Jack in person. You are the one who directed me to him and he was always extremely prompt in replying to my questions once I contacted him the first time. I also know how extreme the weather can be that time of year and how that can churn up the main lake. That is the reason I am looking at staying in the creeks as much as possible and off the main stem of the lake. I sure hope your back problem improves. Hopefully you can get some good fishing in this year for yourself.
