jrsmith_80 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Just as the topic states, would anyone have any interest in getting a Wichita Area Get Together started?? Just testing the waters. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I think there is only a handful of us on here. Or atleast that are somewhat active. If I remember right there was 1 boat from Wichita at Melvern for the Spring meet. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 15, 2013 Global Moderator Posted July 15, 2013 Yep, we had one boat from Wichita at the spring get together.  jr-your info list Coffey Co as one of your favorite lakes. According to Google Maps it takes 6 more minutes and 1 more mile to get to Wabaunsee than it takes to get to Coffey. Why not join in on the KC get together? 1 Quote

I thought about joing the KC area guys, and still might, but was just kind of testing the waters to see if there was any interest in doing something a little closer to home lol. Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Id be more than glad to be a coangler with you sometime if you need. Or vice versa. Just dont think there are alot of active people from Wichita on here. Quote
tallydude Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I'd be down for this. Actually the best way to do it is to have everyone meet at a park and bank fish. I organized all of the South Florida get togethers when I lived in West Palm Beach. We got almost 20 guys each time. A little different here, obviously. Quote
ksboy Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Although I'm not in Wichita, I would love to do something like this. I live in Ark City and fish with the Winfield Bass Club. If you get something going please send me an email alk4024th@yahoo.com. I can see if I can get some of the guys from Winfield to attend if we get enough notice. Thanks, Al Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted July 19, 2013 Super User Posted July 19, 2013 I had a good time fishing with the guys at Melvern this spring. If you put something together in the Wichita area count me in, I am sure I could get another boat or two to participate as well. Quote
kanasbassfisher08 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 depends on the lake and fishing i wouldnt mind going so just get something together and see what happends give ample time for people to get off work if need be Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Only problem I see in this is location. If there are a good many boats, there isnt a bigger lake in the area that could provide the good fishing. Butler would probably be back down and so people would be limited to the main lake west of the jettie. Quote
ksboy Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Did this get dropped?? I'd like to see it happen in October sometime. Just for openers I'd say someplace like Polk Daniel (in Howard) or Winfield just to get together first time. Quote

That's always the hardest part about these things, finding someone willing to do the work just to get the wheels turning. Quote
ksboy Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 I suggest we try to get started at Butler on the 12th of Oct. If Butler is too low to fish (water not deep enough to fish the jetties), we go to Howard (Polk Daniel). If this date is bad for anyone, let me know and we'll try another. I'm sending this in a PM to everyone who posted interest in this thread. If I can get email addr from everyone, I will start an email thread so we can stay in touch about it. We will have to be willing to have non-boaters accompany, since I'm sure some of the respondents will be shore fisherman. I'm certainly willing to have someone go with me.. my email is alk4024th@yahoo.com Quote

TRYTOFISH Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I would be up for it! My only concern is you get more than 10 boats on Butler, its crowded. Quote
ksboy Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 That's true! So far we are up to five (counting you). My calendar is set. The only thing we have to worry about is the water level and the weather. Can I have your email address? Mine is posted above in this thread. Quote

ksboy Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Hey guys:  I haven't had any further responses here or by email. I will be at the Butler ramp around 630-7 on the 12th of Oct. Be happy to see whomever shows up. As previously stated, I have a Blue Champion 168 pulled by a silver Chevy Silverado. Quote

Mr_Scrogg Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Sounds lile we got tons of boats with single anglers. You can cookout there, but it dont have the amenities as bigger lakes have. Quote
ksboy Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 We may have 2 non-boaters other than Kansasbassfisher08. Rockchalk (from Edmond, Ok) and a friend of mine. Would one of you be willing to have a co-angler? It would help. Thanks, Al Quote
