Super User Long Mike Posted June 24, 2012 Super User Posted June 24, 2012 Is this open to all? This sounds like fun. Broke bass, it is fun! On this last trip, if memory serves, we had six members who had never attended the Road Trip before. I don't think you will hear any complaints from them, and certainty none from our regulars. I attended the Second Annual trip as a newbie to the forums and as a newbie bass fisherman. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and have never missed another one. The ONE great thing about the Road Trip is that it is not a tournament. It's just a bunch of guys and gals who want to go fishing and meet new friends - and maybe drink a few suds and tell a few lies. 2 Quote

JamesD Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Are we talking about the lake/reservoir in Southern TN on the MS/AL state lines? Hmm... I might be able to make that? Quote

Super User Nitrofreak Posted June 27, 2012 Super User Posted June 27, 2012 Well, it looks good so far, I have made the inital plans to attend my first road trip, I already set aside a few bucks but there is a lot of work to do yet for getting the old truck out of the weeds and back in towing shape. I hope to be able to join all of you this year and make some new friends, enjoy some bud suds, and perhaps do a little fishing on the side with a few of ya. Quote
kylek Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Thinking about trying to swing this trip. It sounds like a heck of a good time. Do you just need to buy a TN fishing license? I see that it runs south into other states as well???? Any idea how much an out of state TN license cost? Can I come without a boat and tag along with someone? Thanks for any help. Would love to be put on some good smallmouth fishing!!!! KYle Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 17, 2012 Super User Posted August 17, 2012 Kyle, a Tennessee license will be fine. You can come without a boat, but if you have one that will handle a good-sized lake, it would be helpful. Regardless, boat or no boat, you will be welcome and I will guarantee a seat in a boat. That's my job on these trips. As for the cost of the license, I don't recall. I think it's in the $20 range. Google it. Looking forward to shaking your hand. Quote

I will have to work on the wife to see if she will let me get away!!! Quote

Even if she doesn't fish, there are many attractions that can keep her occupied during the day BTW, your profile doesn't say what City or State you live in. Where will you be coming from? Quote
riskkid 2 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Bring your wife with you! Even if she doesn't fish, there are many attractions that can keep her occupied during the day I know someone that will take her shopping to Wal Mart at least once during the trip!!! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 17, 2012 Super User Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, probably me, if I have the same battery problems I had on the last road trip. Quote

I would be coming from Kearney, MO. It is north of Kansas City about 20 miles or so. I will go update my profile to show that. Thanks again. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted August 18, 2012 Super User Posted August 18, 2012 TN 10 day fishing-without trout(which are not in Pickwick) is $25.50. MS only has a 3 day, so a yearly license would be required. It would cost $54.29 AL has an annual license for $46.40 The reason I tell you all of the prices is that all 3 are able to be purchased and fish Pickwick lake, but all 3 also have different boundaries. I will try to explain, but am not 100% on the boundaries. Here is what I know to the best of my ability. I believe the reciprocal agreement works like this: TN license: You can fish from the KY Lake Dam to the north bank at the mouth of Bear Creek. MS license: You can fish the Pickwick Dam to the south bank of bear creek. With TN or AL License, you cannot fish past the bridge in the back of yellow creek (up the Tenn-Tom). (hwy 25 bridge) With the AL license, you can fish Pickwick Dam to Wilson Dam. That's how I remember it anyway. Basically, get an AL license and you are covered for almost the entire lake(except if you want to get in the river for SM like what RW loves to do. THIS REQUIRES A TN LICENSE) If you run the Tombigbee Waterway to Bay Springs, then you need a Miss license. Good spotted bass fishing, and clear water. Obviously if you go above the Wilson Dam into Wilson lake, or lock down into Wheeler, you will need only Alabama. Jeff 1 Quote
kylek Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks for all that info Jeff. I would want to target smallmouth mostly since I dont have many places around here that have them. I am still working on figuring out how to make this work. Would love to meet a bunch of the people on here. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 19, 2012 Super User Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks for the info Jeff. As a point of clarification, our "home base" is Pickwick State Park, which is in TN. A TN license will allow one to launch from "home" and fish about nineteen miles of the main lake, plus all of its tributaries. That's a LOT of territory to cover in one week. And yes, there are plenty of smallies to be had. Quote
