I wonder if we shouldn't have a few regional events...Someones always going to get left out.
Maybe someone from the northeast, and the southeast, etc.. start up a thread for their region.
Who knows, if it gets big enough we could get some "real" sponsors and have a major event like the Classic. Heck, even ESPN or the History channel might pick up on that! We'd have our own reality show! hahaha

Just an idea, if she can type with one finger. Swype for texting on a phone is dragging a finger around a keyboard to make words. It was originally developed to track eye movement. I don't know if it would be faster or not, but about any android phone can run it landscape. Just last year the texting record was set with it. I just tested it on my phone dragging really slowing and moving around letters a lot, it seemed to work good. If you wanted, I'm fairly certain I could build a small program to allow typing and then reads the typed words off (might need a wifi connection available). Let me know if you want me to build it - might take a night.
Prayers sent!

Had the day off today...and my car keys back! So I went up to Clinton Lake. It was 102 here today, too hot to fish, so I just took a few photos of the lake and boat ramp. You had to be a camper to have access to the camp ground, so I don't have any photos of the group site yet. Anyway, the small building near the docks sells food and live bait (no minnows--There is a bait shop in Clinton, about 15min away, that sells minnows and licenses). This ramp has no fees. On the other side of the building is a sand beach. There are several playgrounds in the area too. Clinton has the Wal-Mart, McDonald's, DQ, Jimmy Johns and several good local places to eat, like Ted's Garage ( https://www.teds-garage.com ). Clinton also has a large antique/craft mall, three thrift stores, nice little downtown area with bars, and a bowling alley.
On to the photos:
Let me know if you want any more information..

Someone pm me and let me know if your interested.

you all should consider Kentucky Lake.... That would seem to be kinda in the center of the area that is being talked about. A lot of the tinboaters could be there in 4-5 hrs.
Its been a while since I fished there but lots crappie, white bass and largemouth as well as some small mouth swimming around in that lake.
I can't remember who it is on our forum that live close to there but seems like someone does...Just a thought

Love fishing Banner Marsh (east point and bell's landing have produced some good catches this year). The points dropping off to the deep channels along with the stumps have been hot this year.

Soooooooooooo,
what Im seeing is the need for a Bass Tournament at Banner.
Unfortunately we are running out of time for this year. Waterfowl season begins in October.
Anybody want to take the lead on this Bass Tournament?

I'm working on a tourney for next year for the WI/IL group. I'm not certain I can make an Oct one this year as I used up most of my vacation time already (fishing) or I would get it going.
To get a tourney approved is pretty easy. Just call the campground/park office where you want to hold it. They will get you to a knowledgable guy about what dates are avaialbe, filling out the required paperwork for approval and give you the followup paperwork too. They make sure you know the general rules, lake rules, etc... no biggie. Then you post it up here and see who can come! Generally between WI and IL there is no fee for the paperwork, unless you have a lot of people or want to weight fish offsite (killing them they assume).
Look forward to the date to see if I can make it.
