Mark, I have had as many as 29 and as few as 5 boats. This is only the start of my 3rd year with the ABA. I have 49 members in my district. I'm hoping that most will fish this year. Plapp's is helping in the promotion of the ABA, and for that I thank them. The district in central Ky, draws 25-35 and the Ky lake district draws 30-40. This district goes out of Paris Landing most of the time, I think of it as more of a Tenn District.

The nationals location is known but on hold. The powers to be are waiting on another major sponsor to come on board. If this all gets put together we may just see a regional format. If it becomes too late things will stay the same as the past and the site will be announced. One of the things I like about the ABA is their dedication towards the weekend, working hard for their money angler. Morris will NOT do anything that would put additional burden on us, and for that I thank him. The ABA is working hard and is on the verge of BIG things. The day is coming soon when there is going to be some REAl money at the nationals. Rumor has it 1st place might be worth 50-100m in lue of a boat. Low entry fee's, no guides, no pro's..
Hope too see you soon..
