Couple questions Mike.

$15k for all those lights, or is that per light?  If that's the total for the whole project I can't believe you couldn't get someone like BPS involved in helping in the funding.

2nd question,  as cool as it looks and as great as the potential fishing might be,  I wonder about the safety of it.  Those piers will be extremely popular places to fish, especially during the summer months at night.  I can think of a couple lakes here in Missouri that those lights would work great on but I'd never want to be fishing under them at night on the weekends due to the possibility of drunken, summertime, night cruisin pleasure boaters hitting me.  LOZ and Tablerock are the two lakes in specific I'm talking about.

Good luck on the project.

Cart,  The whole project costs like 15K.  You'd be surprised at the economical impact of a project like this can have.  Jim has the numbers covered as far as promoting the project and also the economical impact numbers as it pertains to return on investment.  He has also consulted with the other lake that has these lights setup.  

The area slated for this project is a bridge.  This bridge has a no wake zone on either side of it and it has been a no wake zone for as long as the lake has been in existance.  Nothing is 100% safe.  YOu'd have just an equal chance of a drunk running into you anywhere else on the lake as you would near the lights.  The lights will kinda be setup more for boaters than for shoreline anglers.  Atleast at the beginning.  Who knows they might build a pier after all is said and done.  

I apprecaite everyone's support on this project.  We still need many more names.  Either side here or on the www.lakeallatoonaguides.com website.

You can throw my name to this as well.  I read an article about lights like this here in Va back in the summer.  I can't remember which bridge or body of water they are on but they have gone over well.

Mr. David aka clipper,  I forgot to answer your reply.  Jim is going to try the chamber of commerce and see what they think.  I sent a note to my GON contact as well.  If you have a contact at GON network please do what you can.  THe county has the most to gain from this so that is where Jim is probably going to start.  If that doesn't work he'll probably try to piece it out ie $$ here and $$ there etc etc.  

THanks to all for the support.

Mike
