Fisher_C Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 This sounds like a blast for sure. I should be able to go for either date depending on what the Army decides to throw at me around that time. I like a few others im sure would like to be able to tag along on someones boat if possible. I dont know much about any of these lakes ill have to look them up and cast my vote. Quote
sizzlefry Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 jk on Hillsdale im in for melvern or ft scott Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Global Moderator Posted March 1, 2013 Blue I am to blame for Hillsdale jokes!!! Wouldn't have guessed! My main thought is several guys have smaller boats that would be fine on most any lake but may be a little too small for Melvern or other big lakes. Obviously not an issue if enough guys with bigger boats sign up but just something to consider. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I'm ok with fishing Melvern from the yak, done it many times. Wind will be the determining factor for me. Smaller lakes are usually more sheltered from the wind. Never seen any of the other lakes on the list. Friend of mine that fishes from a kayak has fished Critzer quite a few times though. He loves that little lake. Quote
Busy Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I can probably be a boater this time around so I will vote for Ft. Scott. I will have to make sure of this. If I do boat I will be dropping anchor a lot and fishing areas very thoroughly. I simply don't have the trolling motor to power around lakes, especially larger lakes in wind. I have an old wondertroll 606 lol. Quote
KS-Dawg Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I am voting for Melvern, with the April 27th date. Will be building a deck with my Dad the first week of May. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted March 1, 2013 Super User Posted March 1, 2013 Melvren I'm checking on the date, I may have a pinewood derby Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted March 2, 2013 Super User Posted March 2, 2013 Wish I could go, but I don't see a weekend free until August, for me. While scheduling things far out, think about the Leavenworth Bass Clubs Fishing for Freedom event, October 12 & 13 - 2013. Last year, I made a long weekend out of it, got down to Truman early Thursday morning, 3 full days of fishing by myself and took a veteran fishing on Sunday. I had fun and met people I still correspond with from time to time. Several good free meals are involved, my major expenses were lodging & gas. Many motels in the area are familiar with the event and I got a room discount at the Hidden Lake Motel without even asking - they asked me if I was there for the Wounded Warrior project. If you've got a boat that you feel is safe enough for Truman Lake, I'd encourage everyone to participate in this event. Quote

Ask Sizzle about the ride in the 4 foot rollers as we ran like mad back to the ramp at Hillsdale 3 weeks ago? First outing last year Melvern was a little choppy Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted March 2, 2013 Super User Posted March 2, 2013 I'll check with my fishing partner, but I am feeling like this is one that we could make on either date. My vote would be for Melvern. Quote

My vote would be for Melvern. Good deal, I'll put your vote down for Melvern. Quote
KS-Dawg Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Does it have to be forum members? Have a buddy with a Nitro that would be intrested in coming. Could help out someone that does not have a boat big enough for Melvern. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted March 4, 2013 Super User Posted March 4, 2013 It looks like I have a Pinewood Derby on the 27th so the 4th will work best for me but I can skip it and go fishing if we end up having the Razor Clam Classic on the 27th. Quote

Mr_Scrogg Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Depending on wind, I might need to hitch up with a boater. Hi Salenity, got a free seat bud? Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted March 4, 2013 Super User Posted March 4, 2013 I don't for the tournament but we could probably get together and fish someplace before it if you want. Quote

Could help out someone that does not have a boat big enough for Melvern. this tourneys really just and excuse to fish and me bass resource members and like blue said at the last get together bring anyone you want and my question its free site why isnt he on here lol but i assume that it would be alright and is he willing to be the boater of some one that doesnt have a boat that might be helpful Quote

Just as long as he's willing to contribute food if he's going to eat and knows that it's just for fun, no money or prizes. Quote
Wachati Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I'm in. I will bring fish cookies again. Looks like Melvern. I will be fishing with Curt. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Well Im looking to find a boater incase the wind is too much for my kayak. Anyone looking for a 2nd? Quote
KS-Dawg Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Well Im looking to find a boater incase the wind is too much for my kayak. Anyone looking for a 2nd? I will talk to my buddy with the Nitro today. If he is not bringing anyone, I will ask him to help you out. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 4, 2013 Super User Posted March 4, 2013 Strap on your Big Boy pants and come over to Pickwick for the RoadTrip. This lake is on fire! 11.8 lb fish weighed in tournament two weeks ago and lots of double digits being reported. Saturday under very challenging conditions, 35lb sack for 1st Place, 29 for 2nd! Guaranteed to have a grand time! -Kent Quote
