I have been to Vantage once and barely went anywhere and caught good fish. The issue of low fish numbers to me, isn't an issue. It hardley gets pressure and has tons of fish. the temps stay cooler even inJuly and should be good fishing. My vote would be to stay with it and give it a chance.

I don't know if the issue is the number of fish at Vantage. I have fished it. I blanked, but I would try it again.

I am picturing camping at Vantage with 500+ parrot heads or Lala Palousees or, god forbid, 50 cent and his hand full of pocket change. I am thinking that the accomidations may be tough on some of the people. Way over east we have a nice campground that has little to no "non fishing parties". People are fairly comfortable with the waters and facilities.

I see Rob's point about not changing it. Some people may want to hit new water so they can experience something new. I think that would be great for a points deal. For this tourney, it should be set aside to show the ladies a good time and catch lots of fish. It's the only tourney that most of the wives participate in.

Well that sort of stuff would convince me to go somewhere else. I'm just saying the fishing should be good. If the accomodations will suck (especially for the ladies) then I can agree with a change. I just remember Stu saying he wasn't comfortable with running the boat and the numbers of fish and I don't think that will be an issue. If there are reasons then I have open ears. I love Potholes, but wouldn't mind seeing some new water. Are Banks, Rosy and Potholes the only alternatives?

My FINAL thought,
  Thank you Chuck, for not allowing this conversation to be opened up at the meeting.  Nearing it's 4th page now, I think we leave it up to the TD to decide, isn't that why we pay him!  Ha Ha.  Staying up half the night listening to a campground yell about a concert doesn't sound like much fun to me.  Jimmy, GETRDUN!!!!!!!
