BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 10, 2014 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 10, 2014 I'm officially signed up to room with Dinky, Rhino and ProCrafter. Never let it be said that I will hang out with just any Tom, Dink and Larry. Note to Long Mike: my registration form is a work in progress. LMAO!!
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 10, 2014 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 10, 2014 Form just sent.... This will be my 2nd Trip.... last year's trip was the best week of fishing ever for me....looking forward to seeing everyone again. For those "on the fence" about going..... I was kinda nervous about going last year for a few reasons. 1) i didn't know anyone. and it was obvious from the posts that there were some pretty close friendships that had been made from previous trips, i didn't know if i would fit in or be "accepted". if it was kind of an "old boys" club or not. i can tell you...it is not. yes, there are some tight friendships (which is awesome)... but everyone...and i mean everyone....was really nice and made me feel "at home". i felt like i was "one of them" after the first night of the meet and greet..wine & cheese soiree.... and i hope to make the same type of friendships. 2) although i feel like i am a decent angler..i was intimidated by the knowledge of those going and wondered if my skills would "measure up". i can honestly say that was never an issue. every person i fished with was awesome... i felt like i fit in... and my skills weren't as lacking as i had been worried about. i learned alot..... so... i guess what i'm trying to say... if you have any doubts about going...whether you will fit in or whether you are a good enough angler..... leave those concerns at home and come on.... you will have a great time and never want to miss another trip... i know i won't. i can't wait!!! one more thing... i'm wanting to purchase a used BC rod... MH 7ft full cork handle.. i'm hoping one of the attendees might have one they can part with... i'll post in the flea market... but hoping one of those going will have one. that way i can see it, hold it, etc. before purchasing. For anyone on the fence about going, read the above, reread the above, and then read it again. See you there!

Super User Long Mike Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 Glenn, I have never let you see one of Ghoti's Registration Forms. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds comes to mind every time I see a new one.
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 10, 2014 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 10, 2014 Courtland. Got it. That's sad, however it opens the door for new opportunities. Mike - yes, I saw Gary's submission from last year. Definitely worthy of framing!
Jack Fate Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Greg and Chris, thanks for all of your detective work! It's like we have four Road Trip Coordinators working on this trip. You're welcome. Glad to help out!
BassnChris Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Any more folks sign up yet? Hope so......if last year is any indication.......and I understand it was.......it's a blast and great meeting folks from the forum in person. C'mon Y'all.......join us.
Jack Fate Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I hate the smell! But I hate what its gonna do to the local economy and the folks that work there and the folks that service. Those folks. Man I hate that! Yeah the smell could be bad at times. They offered some folks to re-locate to other plants. Also there is another plant of some kind supposed to be opening soon nearby there so hopefully some can find work there. But it will definitely be tough for a lot of folks.
Brian Needham Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 other than the first night I never really noticed the smell. of course I went to bed as early as possible too.SO I really just eat, fish, eat, sleep all week , in that order.
BassnChris Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 other than the first night I never really noticed the smell.Did shower after the first night? Cause that would explain it! Just kidding......I know you did. 1
Brian Needham Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 LOL, thats funny cause the first night I was standing on the balcony and asking myself what that smell was...... thinkning I had some serious BO kicking. Jon walks in and I ask him "do you smell that or am I that rank?" he then explained what a paper mill smelled like, LMAO. after that I really never noticed it though..... but then again I smell West Memphis everyday so I am immune to most smells.
bassin is addicting Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 all that talk about breakfast has me hungry... biscuits, gravey, grits... 1
BassnChris Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 all that talk about breakfast has me hungry... biscuits, gravey, grits... mmmmmmmmmmm.......breakfast. the whole trip was great and every aspect was very enjoyable.......but the breakfasts we had together were very nice.......Man I can't wait for it again this year!
papajoe222 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Okay, I pulled the trigger an will be attending, but I need help. I'd like to drive down and back, but I'd also like to share expenses. Does anyone need a fourth for a cabin rental, or a second to share a room? Anyone in IL or WI willing to share the ride and expense going down (I'll supply transportation)? More than one would keep transportation expense even lower for all.
Super User Long Mike Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 Has anyone heard from Kyakr lately?
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 I was wondering the same thing. I haven't see a post from her in a few weeks. Checked her profile and she was last on the forum, Feb 7.
Super User Alpster Posted February 11, 2014 Super User Posted February 11, 2014 If anyone is in contact with her (Kyakr), please let her know that I am trying to track her down. I have the information that she asked for.
BassnChris Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Anyone in IL or WI willing to share the ride and expense going down (I'll supply transportation)? More than one would keep transportation expense even lower for all. How 'bout it folks? Anyone in IL or WI looking to share a ride?
Boomer_bassin Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Just found out I will not be able to attend my first road trip this year. One great reason is I will be leading my worksite's team in what is called the Relay for Life, it is a great fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and helps us remember those we have lost to cancer and celebrate those who have beaten this awful disease. It is a 24 hour event from the evening of May 2nd thru the evening of the 3rd. The other reason which I am not happy about is that my wifes friend is getting married and I have to go to the wedding that weekend as well. I hope you all have a wonderfull time and hope to catch it next year.
