I Found the BEST SPOT on the Lake - MLF Stage 2 Douglas Lake - Qualifying Round

It is time to right the ship. Stage one at Kissimmee didn't go like I wanted but I had a great week at Redcrest. So, it is back to the regular season and we are at Douglas Lake in east Tennessee. We have 2 days of qualifying to advance to Cherokee Lake for the knockout round. Practice was tough and old man winter decided to show back up so we will just have to see what happens.
