macmichael Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I'm not sure I understand your question, but the actual meeting, visiting and meal places will take place at the Doublehead Resort. Why do you ask? Please be specific. I was just wondering where to check in with all the members. Where all the events were to be held. Where to launch my boat. Etc. What's the town the resort is in ?
BassnChris Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I was just wondering where to check in with all the members. Where all the events were to be held. Where to launch my boat. Etc. What's the town the resort is in ?We meet the first 3 nights in one of the cabins or a place that is designated after we get there. There is a lot of communication while we are there. There is a boat launch very near the cabins. The nearest town is Town Creek.......kind of small.Everybody gets together each night. Google doublehead lodge and you can look at map or go to googlemaps and look at satellite view. Just holler if you have anymore questions........send in your registration form yet?

OK thanks for the info. I have not registered yet. Trying to talk wife into coming with me. No luck so far. Know of anyone from Missouri wanting to share the trip and a room? I know I'm new here and no one really knows me but what better way to meet. I think I have until the 28 th to register?
BassnChris Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 You have until the 28th to reserve a cabin......after that they are released to general population. While I think you can register for the road trip anytime.......I think they prefer as soon as you can so the folks providing meals on three nights know how many to plan for. Just post here what your looking for travel and lodging wise and someone will respond or send that info to Long Mike or Alpster and they will try to coordinate if they can. Papajoe222 is traveling down from north of you......not sure of his route....and was looking for some travel companion. Holler if you have any more questions. You can PM if you like.
Brian Needham Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 it seems kinda of daunting the first time out but its not if you get there early on wends just fish where ever you want to.... when you come in, you will see everyone milling around the cabins, just introduce youself to the first person you see and they will help get you squared away. Last year, I had talked to my roommate prior and we meet at the hotel that morning.....fished all day and when we came in we said "we better go find the group" . also once you get you form in I am sure you can Long Mikes or someones cell number to call once you get checked in your cabin. its really not a big deal, when you show up it all magically falls into place.
BassnChris Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Magically falls into place is a great way to say it. It's really like that..........everybody is very friendly. even this Brian Needham guy.
Brian Needham Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 hard to believe but rumors say its true.
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 There is no shortage of ramps. You pick what's best for you, whether to launch at the resort and run your boat to where you plan to fish, or to find a ramp convenient to where you plan to fish. If you want to fish below the dam in the southern section of Pickwick you'd best launch below the dam. Unless, you want the experience of using the lock to get from Wilson to Pickwick below the dam, and then again to return to Wilson. Everything else will pretty much fall into place at the Wednesday night soiree. Dinky and I will be getting there on Saturday, prior to the "official" start of the road trip. If it will help, I'll send you my cell number in a private message in early April. Once at the road trip, there is usually a hand out that has all those who are registered for the road trip and a contact phone number for each attendee.
macmichael Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 OK. Great. Do I email my registration or snail mail it?
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 23, 2014 Super User Posted February 23, 2014 I sent mine as an attachment on an email. I've done it via snail mail in the past. Since it has to be signed, you'll need to print it out and sign it. Then you can scan it into your computer and send it to Long Mike.
BassnChris Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Glad to hear it. You'll have a great time!
macmichael Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 It certainly sounds like it. Looking forward to meet ya'll. Thank you for all the help. Mac 1
Super User Long Mike Posted February 24, 2014 Super User Posted February 24, 2014 Macmichael, Registration Form received with thanks. Looking forward to meeting a fellow Old Fart. Just a reminder, for those of you looking to share accommodations, be very vocal about it on these forums. It is up to you to arrange travel and sleeping arrangements. If, at the very last moment, someone does not have a bed, then bring me into the picture. I'll see what I can do, but no guarantees. Be prepared to bring your air mattress. 1
macmichael Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Just want to thank everyone for their help in getting me started on this road trip. Looking forward to meet ya'll. Macmichael.
BassnChris Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 One Open twin sized bed available for the road trip. Give me a shout (PM) if you are interested.
macmichael Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Long Mike. " Looking forward to meeting a fellow Old Fart." Hey, I resemble that remark!!!
ProCrafter Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Mac and anyone else coming for the first time or even, riding the fence.... I fly from Seattle, for the third time and even with the logistical task of arranging tackle, flights, connections and rental cars this has been a very pleasant set of events for me and a great way to test the waters on visiting our great fisheries.... Every year I seem to widdle down the price... so far I have airfare at $410. rental car at $200 and cabin shared rate at around $180 and some expenses, fuel, meals collectibles and I cannot find a fishing vacation for 6 days anywhere even near 2-3 times my costs!!! and I get to meet new/old friends, share techniques and learn new patterns!! Last year and a camcorder and a GoPro... Adding another GoPro type action cam for even more action video!!! So.... Look at what this trip offers... compare to guided trip prices and that should be all you need to decide!!! (Not a guided trip but folks here are pretty dang knowledgeable about these fisheries!!!) YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT!!! COME ON AND GET IT!!!
macmichael Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I completely agree with you Procrafter. That's a grteat way to put it in perspective. We are trying to find a place to sleep. I have relatives in Huntsville. We might stay there if all else fails.
BassnChris Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone have any room in their cabins at doublehead?
riskkid 2 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I'm going to see about this year. Had to cancel last year due to an unexpected and unpleasant divorce and all that goes with that. This year much better but will be moving my elderly Mom in the next month or so. Also, will be buying a new house and moving myself again.....Oh Yeah, also met a new lady very unexpectedly after aforementioned divorce. Anyway after saying I'd never do that again guess who's getting married...not sure of date yet. So anyway I'm going to discuss this with her tonight and hopefully she'll come with me. If so I'll get you the forms tomorrow Mike. It's been too long, really would like to see y'all again. Saw Glenn at the classic Sunday and had fun catching up. Hope I can get it all worked out.

Dinky Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Plus, you get to stay with me and Rhino!!! It don't get much better than that, does it? Oh, and ghoti too! You gotta be the luckiest Oregon Duck ever.
BassnChris Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Anyone have any room in their cabins at doublehead for macmichael and his wife?
riskkid 2 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I'm in along with Susan, my bride to be! I'll email the forms tomorrow Mike. Looking forward to it! 1
