SLABFEST for March or April???

A request was made at the Slabfest at Lake Santa Fe that the next one be on the HARRIS CHAIN OF LAKES.
For those that fish the FULL MOON the full moon in March is the 19th Saturday, FULL MOON for April is 18th Monday,(day after PALM SUNDAY. Need a poll as what day the masses would want to have the event.

If the date of March 19th is selected it is only THREE weeks away.

The poll will allow only you to vote once, BUT you can vote for multiple days. If you vote for multiple days please post here you desires.
LOCATION IS NOT NEGOTIABLE for these dates.

Very good location choice if I do say so myself. The Howey Bridge at Little Lake Harris has ample parking and a few nice spots within reach to fish. I might sneak over after the fishing to see who catches the biggies.

We went with the March 26th or the late April date. On call duties usually fall on the 2nd and 3rd weekend of each month for us. It is still possible for us to find a replacement if given enought time in advance.

With Hickory being just a short ways down the road, more then likely either way im gonna take our chances. :)

I will be in Vero on 3/12 and Okeechobee on 3/26 so I vote sometime in April. Someone is going to have to teach me how to catch these critters that late in the year.

Something to think about. March is known as the windy month and so far that has shown to be true. Then again April showers. I would rather fish in the rain then to have to try and fish in 16 mph winds. Just a thought.

Looks like April 16th???????????????? I'm ready! Should be a good one! Are we going to do the heaviest 5 and big fish pool again? Are we ok to fish anywhere in the Harris chain and meet up at Hickory Point later? Will Phantom be there?

April 16th sounds good to me. I say the same fish pool. Maybe ALL launch from same ramp.

Day after tax day, sounds like a winner. I'll be there one way or another. I'm very interested in learning how to catch the fish post spawn/early summer. I hope to learn a lot from you guys.
