The date for this years Fun Fest has been set for August 14th. Stay tuned for more info, as we will be starting to accept participant applications in the next couple of weeks. This year there will be 60 boats in the tournament vs. 50 last year. Also, this year is lining up to be even better than last years and we hope to see a lot of you participate. The Fun Fest is truly a who's who of Lake Lanier fishing (and much of the surrounding states), but it is friendly to the weekend and casual angler as well. There will be a captains dinner the night before, and a cookout and awards ceremony afterwards. Plus all of the great raffle prizes that are as popular as the tournament itself.

I sent my application last fall - hope to be Team Number One again this year. We should have two to three team members from Maryland - the saltwater boys. We named our team using the first letter of our fathers' first name. Me and my saltwater guys grew up fishing together and our dads gave us a lot of support. It will be a special day for the team members as we give tribute to our fathers.

I can say Tom is number one spot first registered and no one deserves it more because of all the work he did last year setting it up. The planning Tom did last year alone makes putting things together this year much easier can also say Tom is one to watch to be on winning end every time.

DATE CHANGE!!!!

The Lanier Striper Club Fun Fest has been moved to September 11th. They are also looking at next years date, and may be moving it to an early-mid June date starting in 2011. I believe about 1/4 of the spots have already been filled for this year, so if your thinking about waiting until the last minute to enter, don't.

I was told today that there are only about 18 spots remaining for the tx. If you plan on participating, you need to sign up soon. I hope to see you there.
