Congratulations to LGMOUTH Don Watts... 2011 Lake Drive Classic Champions!

[Waterfoul]

Don and his partner won the Lake Drive Classic tourney held on Burt/Mullet Friday and Saturday.  Don and his partner (who's name totally escapes me at the moment!!) weighed in over 44 lbs for the two day event.

I was also told that one team weighed in a 7 lb 3 oz smallie for big bass.  Now THAT is a pig!!!

Sounds like that lake produces alot of bass.I was gonna rent a cottage there this year but ended up going to a smaller lake in cadillac (family vacation). I thought it would be a hard lake to fish since it was so big.Any tips in case I go next year? Another thing I was'nt sure about is whether it was deep enough to dock the boat or if I would have to moor it? Any feed back on that?

Congrats Don! You are on fire. 1 on 1, lake drive, and dont forget the best guess at 2000 members on GLB.

He sounded more excited about winning the 2000th member contest to me!!

Thanks everyone, looks like I should go buy a lottery ticket.

I think I won a truck for the 2000th member contest. At least thats what I heard.

[djkimmel]

That could be arranged! You won't even need a license to drive it!

  I have only been on Burt. The first time last fall.  Did pretty well.  Fished with GLB member Tcook and we had about 24 pounds for our five best. Advice I can give to you, from what I've heard and read, is you need to go in the spring or fall.  I guess the smallies are hard to target in the summer months.  Look for rock/gravel areas and or weeds.
