I would be in, suggest a central location to be fair to as many as possible. Cali alone is 10 hour drive from north to south.California border to Seattle Wa. is another 11-12 hours. If we are to do a MLF type fishing I suggest Shasta. However if not very many people from oregon and Washington come shift the lake further south.I am in Sacramento myself. I know of about 10-15 basscats around here I am sure there are more.
