• Links from previous tournaments:  2003 Wheeler Results / 2003 Wheeler Pics / 2004 Wheeler Results  / 2004 Wheeler Pics

• I (Bo) am planning on spending Sunday night at the cabin so that I don't have to kill myself trying to get home.

• This time of year, a good variety of spots, largemouth, and smallmouth should be caught.

• Click here for some additional info on how to fish for smallies on Wilson and Pickwick in the spring.  (Thanks again Mike!)

• Lake Wilson is known for rough water when the wind is pushing into the current.  Click here to read a story about a young man who braved 6 foot waves in his 16 foot jon boat to rescue a drowning bass fisherman.  This happened right below the dam.
