It looks like Pickwick has been voted as the location for our November tournament. I still think we ought to plan on using McFarland Park in Florence as our launch site. As we discussed in the voting thread, there are several other pretty good sized tournaments going out of McFarland Park that day. It's a pretty big place, though, that can handle several hundred boats pretty easily so I really don't think it'll be that big of a deal.
I would suggest, though, that we use the smallest of the three ramps which is located on the east side of the harbor since it's the least used and a lot of people don't even know it's there. The easiest way to get there is to turn on Clayborn Liles Drive, which is the road just before the main entrance, right beside Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que. You'll see the ball field on the right and a ramp just past that. Continue straight ahead and turn into the parking lot at the open gate. Here's a MapQuest link if anyone's interested: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/m...c=Bay
"First light" ought to be right at 6:00 so I suggest that we start registration between 5:15 and 5:30. We normally weigh in at 3:00 but with that many boats vying for dock space, we might want to consider moving it up 30 minutes or so. Everybody ponder it and we'll discuss it further during registration.
