As for Snakehead's I don't have a clue, but I hope to catch a monster one if I do, as for livewells, don't worry about that, this is not a real tournament, this is just for fun, if you wish to keep the fish you catch, then by all means, bring whatever you want to contain the fish, all we ask is that we all follow regulations if you choose to do so. Pictures will be a must or it shall be considered a lie....which is something we all do anyway or we would not be real fisherman now would we !! However, it will be part of the fun so please tell all the stories you wish, just remember, I will have a box of BS flags to pass out to all of us and we can throw them at any time we wish and on whom ever we wish.

Red Sox !!!! I was a Washington Senators fan......Way back when. Wanna talk about a dry spell, I had no one for quite some time until the Nats came to town LOL !!!

You have got the best advice from everyone that one could get. I have nothing to add to what has already been said other than, I think the most important part of everything here is for you to slow down. Patience is really the most important key in what you are trying to accomplish, the water is cold, everything in the water will be moving slow, you should be doing the same, down size your baits with bitsy jigs, when you have the jig on the bottom, let it sit for 20 seconds, bounce it 3 times with very small jerks on the rod tip, just enough to get the jig to hop up an inch or two, pause for about 2 seconds in between each hop and after the third hop, SLOWLY, drag it for about 3 feet, stop and let it rest for about 20 seconds then repete the process again. Remember also these bites will be very hard to feel, they just don't exert much energy this time of year and swim away with the bait, anything that feels different set the hook !!!

Don't get me wrong, the Pats may win but I don't see it being a smoking event for either of the teams the Pats will face.

If I get the chance to get there, would you mind if I call you that morning to meet up with you guys somewhere?

Great info !!! Thanx !!!!

Well, I would go out on a limb here and say your a Pats fan but you just did'nt quite make it clear enough lol !! I wish you the best of luck but it's just not going to happen the way you say it's gonna happen.

How much is the Admission anyway? Does it also cover parking etc...

I am looking so forward to this trip, we have not even begun to get ready and already we have some great tips from our members. Nice job mudkart and thanx !!!

Zoff, As per our conversation last night, I am going to attempt to make it there, I have never been to an expo before for fishing, it should be a lot of fun, I would love to meet some new faces and see some of the gang again. Don't know if the family is coming but I will shoot you a text and let you know for sure ASAP. Hope to see you all there !!!

Towing any vehicle, service is always the most important thing for both the towing vehicle and the vehicle being towed. Only you know the condition of both vehicles, if you are confident that both are in the safest and best condition possible then you can be more relaxed behind the wheel, the more relaxed you are the better the trip will go. One thing you need to keep in mind, and from being in the DC area you should already know, keep a great amount of distance between you and the other drivers around you, I don't think your boat trailer has any kind of breaking system on it so it will take you longer to stop with a vehicle pushing on your tow vehicle. Don't push your tow vehicle, let it climb the mountains at whatever pace it and you feel comfortable with, you don't need to be at wide open throttle trying to get up a steep grade, it's hard on a vehicle, so take your time. Good luck and be safe !!!

You had better make it there, you voted for the place lol !! Now you get to see what kind of weird people we really are and have some fun too boot !!!!

Nope. he must have put them somewhere else. Traveler, Would you mind putting the pics up from the past meet and greet when you get this please. Thank you sir !!

I do not have those pics, I think Traveler does in his gallery, I will attempt to go there and see if I can borrow those to post.

I hope to visit again soon, tell the wife and children I said hello would ya !!

ROFLMAO !!!! Cummmmooooonnn man !!! I will say this it started with the right letter B, but it's not Budweiser, lol !!! It was not the beer that counted though, I really enjoyed meeting you for the first time and the company we have shared since then.

I'm timmid and shy, thats all I have to say bout that !!

Your right it makes perfectly good sense he was in pain or something, but I could not imagine it was because of that, maybe some other issue, but too many resources to allow him to stay warm on the side lines IMO.

Oh and just to be fair here was the big fish of that day, yes thats Endless. I wonder if I would have held mine out a little, maybe it would have.......NA !!

Oh, you guy's are too funny !!! Go ahead and yuck it up, have your laughs at my expence lol !!! If you must know I caught 1 , yes, 1 stinking fish, and it was about a quarter the size of Endless's fish for goodness sake LMAO !!! THERE !! There it is in all her glory, for all the troubles I had that day, there it is, isn't she perrrrtty !!!

That can't be, there were options for him to keep warmed up on the side lines.

Ha Ha !!, yours would be just the opposite, talk about two extremes !!

Wow, thats sounds like they may be really interested or close to a deal. Good luck !!!

Really? As in Brian ? How cool would that be? I think you all would do very well !!!

Ha !!! The day of the meet and greet I had a plan to go fish some structure down by the Dam at Anna, It turned out to be so windy that I could not stay, I went through both TM batteries in a matter of an hour, then decided to head North, should have started there to begin with lol !!
