Any updates on attendees? I'm working hard to secure the days off, I'll be bringing my son and my girlfriend along for the fun. Looks like we will most likely stay at the Hampton Inn in Dickson, TN about 30 miles away. I'd love to stay closer but when you can get the room for $29 a night I don't mind a bit more driving.

Folks , this years Rendezvous may be the biggest concentration of quality bluegill fishermen ever , people are coming from all over the country , and let me say also of the nicest people I have ever met,this is going to be so much fun, it not too late to get involved , good food , fun and fishing , what else can I say , if you can't make it this year make plans for next year because it keeps getting better. The menu has been penciled in , a fish fry on Friday night , french fries , cole slaw , hush puppies, sliced onion , iced tea. Saturday night it looks like I'm going to cook my Red Beans and Rice , which is really closer to a Red Beans and Rice Jambalaya , Garlic bread and we are going to cook some shrimp in a pot , Mike and I have to drive by a crawfish pond before we get there so we really dont know what is going in the pot , all I can say is that my cooking is 90% possum free.I wont even talk about the desserts , I hope yall are not diabetic , and there might even be some Apple Pie. Oh Yea , Carl and Tootie are going to tie flies. LOFR
