> After practicing with McMillan for 3 days, he was informed at the angler registration meeting Wednesday afternoon that FLW had no record of receiving a co-angler entry fee from him.

Tip of the Day
Hopefully you know this already but if not:
> …the ability to scroll through Google Earth images by date. Water fluctuation images reveal a whole lot about the potential of areas during different timeframes. In the past, those images could really only be viewed by physically driving around the lake when the water was low, high or somewhere in between.
> After you’ve zoomed in on the cove, creek, or flat you want to check out, click on the date indicator at the bottom left corner of the map. A drag bar will then appear on the top left corner of the map. As you drag along the timeline you'll notice there are several images of the same location from past dates.
> By utilizing this feature regularly, an angler could quite often see what the area looks like during different seasons, different water levels and even more finite features like aquatic vegetation cycles.
