Hello local Alabama members and surrounding state members,

We are having our annual late Summer Meet n' Greet on beautiful Lake Martin located in Dadeville, AL (near Auburn) and we would like invite anyone who would like to come meet up and hang out with us for a day or the weekend. We have booked a cabin for the weekend for our group and there are many nice cabins, condos and homes available to rent on this large lake if you would like to join in on the fun. There are many coves to explore and claim as our own as well as many restaurants and cafes along the shoreline. There is famous Chimney Rock for those who like rock diving, Chuck's Pizza (w/ store marina) for a killer pizza and cold beer on the water and music at night, beaches to find, coves to claim, sloughs to ski, you name it. The water is very clean and clear at this lake often turning hues of aqua blue/green to emerald greens. Water is plenty deep to enjoy surfing too! We will be cruising, anchoring in coves, wakeboarding, tubing, surfing, grilling or BBQ'ing some food and just having a good time relaxing in the south for a weekend. We would love to meet some more folks so if you're in the area or want something to do with your boat on a beautiful lake during the September 15th-17th please let us know!

This video narrated by Morgan Freeman showcases the lake and some of the things to see and do on...

The are condos for rent with slips at Stillwaters Resort which also has a golf course, swimming pools, beaches, tennis, etc.

Here is a video from last year's meetup. We have grown a bit in size since then and hope to see many faces on the lake.

Here is the lake house where we will be staying at. Bonus points it has its own private launch ramp. :winkingthumbsup"

Do it! You can even leave the wet and dry suits at home since the water temps are nice here in June. :)

You guys think a 10' TV will be big enough to watch the Bama game?

@Bill D can we mount it to your tower so we can watch the 2:30 Florida / Tenn game on the water? :D

So is it too soon to talk about an early spring gathering? When does the water warm up down there?

Love this lake. I'll be there 10/13 weekend if anyone else wants to party.

100% right @blacksapphirez about Chucks Pizza! Niffers too...

I forgot to update this thread with the pics and video from the gathering. Check it out here if you haven't seen how beautiful this lake is https://jetboaters.net/threads/pics-and-video-from-our-end-of-summer-gathering-2017-on-lake-martin-al.15427/

I'm not sure who in our group is going to lead or coordinate that event. @DBamaC was going to contact a few businesses on the lake and see what we can get put together for a nice event. We haven't really discussed dates too much but I would like it to be kind of a kickoff to summer so maybe June/early July but not entirely nailed down.

I think the wife and I would be looking to come down, late May to early June...... Would the water be warm enough by then? @haknslash @Bill D ?

@jcyamaharider Early June will be still a little nippy but able to swim as we did a trip to Smith Lake (further north in the state) on June 10th and it was fine. Starts to heat up nice around mid-to-late June. May would be too chilly for this southerner to get in lol. Hope y'all can make it down!
