A Very BIG Thank You to Schief and friends

I went to the Alatoona event this past Friday and Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed myself thanks to Schief and his crew. I fished with Diehard and let me tell ya'll this is one great man. The fish did not co operate with anyone because of the rising water levels but Diehard was still able to put us on some. I met and made some more new friends like Clark Kent, Gajud, Alatoona Crappie King, Rwindis and a couple of them I forgot their name. There were no losers at this event just ALL winners! I am so sorry I didn't stay for the fish fry tonight but had a long drive home and wanted to try and get home before dark.
Schief, I say this from the heart, you and the crew put together one of the best events I have ever been to. That NAVY Rec location was great. Chief you are and always will be a dear friend of mine. One last note, Kim Maxwell, I owe you one buddy. You and your wife were so nice to me and I appreciate that. GOD Bless you all.

Glad you made it home safe and had a great time.. Those are some good folks up there.. Looks like a great place for an annual event, doesn't it.

im glad it went well i just wish i could have gotin off work so i could have been there too

Randy thanks so much for coming up. It was great to meet you again and I am glad you made it home safe and sound.
I wish that the fishing conditions could have been better the lake is up almost 9 ft in the last 4 days and still rising.

This was my first event and although I was unable to fish this weekend, I greatly enjoyed meeting everyone and hearing their stories and tips. I was especially proud to see all the families that attended. Shows it's not just an event for us guys. Thanks Chief for pulling us together to make this work.

just a quick note from my deer stand, I enjoyed myself thuroughly this past weekend and learned alot from the guys there. I'll be posting pics in the next day or so.

I want to thank SChief for all his hard work and efforts to put on a first class event at a first class place. The folks at the Navy rec. area are top notch and went out of their way to help with this event and I'm truly sorry that more out of town or out of state folks couldn't attend and experience first hand the hospitality shown by all that had a part in this. I would also like to thank Big Bite Baits for the free tackle they sent by a very knowledgeable professional Crappie fisherman and guide. Thanks to all of you for a Job well done.

I sure hate that I could not make it, but it was beyond my control, I am so glad everything went well. Would loved to have met the Crappie King, I already know 2 up there, he would make 3. Congrats Chief for a great job on the get together.

I really enjoyed being able to fish with my husband and meet so many great people this past weekend and I wanted to thank everyone that attended this past weekend's event and made it such a success. I learned so much and can't wait go out and try the dock shooting technique for real! :o

Chief and the Mrs..... thanks for getting the great location and coordinating everything!

Everyone... thanks for making me (as a girl) feel so welcome and for sharing so much information.

Thanks also to Big Bite Baits and Stewart and Kathy Wright for bringing us all so many goodies and not totally kicking our behinds this weekend. If he has a hard time catching them... they aren't going to be caught.

Also... I really enjoyed the dock shooting lessons and appreciate all the tips!

I can't wait to help organize the next one.
