Never been on Wedowee, hear it's real popular in summertime.

I think Marion is near Huntsville, on the Tennesee line.


EDIT Oops, I was incorrect, Marion is due west of Montgomery. My Bad. Learned something new today.....

I don't live in Alabama but I sure know my way there from Ontario. We have a plant in Gadsden that I have to go to 3 or 4 times a year. I usually have many meetings and reviews with Hyundai, Kia, Hwashin, Goo Yung, Mercedes and many other customers of ours. Usually there between 2 to 4 weeks when I go as I am reviewing new equipment installation. I keep threatening to haul our boat down there one trip to explore your waterways.
By the way if your outfit has not been run in 10 to 15 years please make sure you do the necessary maintenance before using the motor. See the "Top Secret Files" in the Johnson / Evinrude section.

Interesting. I used to work for a Tier II Hyundai supplier. We made the head/taillights for the cars built in Montgomery. Hyundai and Kia are frequently in the headlines here, Mercedes farther north.

Bring the boat, you won't regret it! You've got Neely Henry Lake just minutes south of Gadsden, supposed to to be the best crappie fishing in the state. Lake Guntersville is to the North, it's huge on the bass tournament circuits. Weiss Lake is to the east, another great lake. My stomping ground, Lake Martin, is about 2 hours away.

Do 'ya like flea markets? Maybe you heard of MountainTop Flea Market? It is a short drive from Gadsden, out Highway 278 from Attala. Open every Sunday, year-round. However, now is the time to go. The regulars with the good stuff start coming out of winter hiding, and before the real heat of summer. Trust me ;)

I'm not a paid spokesperson, just a regular Joe on a budget. :D

Give a holler the next time you're fixin' to come down! I live 30 minutes south of Gadsden off hwy. 77 and fish Neely Henry and Logan Martin regularly. It would be my pleasure to take a Canuck out for a day of fishing. My wifer is Canadian, so I speak a little of the language... poutine, back bacon...BEER!!!;)

Yep, I go to the flea market each time I am there. Pretty thin crowd in the winter though !!! always intersting to see the vast array of items available. I will be looking for a Bass guitar next time I am there. The company has an apartment in Rainbow City that I usually stay at but if it is being used by others I stay at the Holiday Inn Express.
Thanks for the input. :)

Re: Alabama Members

Went to Guntersville this weekend and didnt catch nuthin. We went to a lake near Oneonta called Inland Lake. It was deep and super clear. We caught some spots and redeyes. Has anyone else been there before?
