Siebert Outdoors Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 It will be here before you know it. I've been sitting on the front porch for a week waiting to be picked up to go.
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 31, 2014 Global Moderator Posted March 31, 2014 I cant wait untik i get a bass boat and go to these fishing trips! I,dont think ill,have enough in 29 days tho [quote name="ProCrafter" post="1492920" timestamp="1396277274"Hey Grizz, come anyway I dont have a boat either. We can always go swinging on the hammock!! The next 29 days are going to be crazy getting geared up for this trip..... Sunday.... thought I had a Stroke but thank goodness it was just Bells Palsy.. a Virus related to Chicken Pox and makes your face look like.. well... you had a Stroke! So I might be looking like Popeye The Sailor for the next few weeks until the symptoms resolve but will be there to rope some giant Smallies!!!! THE ADVENTURE HAS ALREADY STARTED!!!!
bassin is addicting Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 i've been working on my "things to take list" for a couple months... and already done some preliminary packing....
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 If i didnt have college and baseball id ve there. Hopefully this road trip will be going on still. They got hammocks i might tell my coach i nee to clear my head for a few days haha
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 31, 2014 Global Moderator Posted March 31, 2014 Fellas I was wondering, to those of you who are bringing your wives or significant others, will they be fishing?? I ask because Mrs Mike would like too, just not all day everyday ( if that is what is planned) She'd be just as happy hanging around the lodge and taking advantage of what it has to offer, or seeing any local sites ( if there are any) for the 4 days we're there. But being the kind, thoughfull, considerate, understanding guy that I am, I thought I'd ask if anyone else has other plans. Thanks Mike
BeckieC Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I plan to fish all day every day, we are even getting there 2 days early

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 I'm coming prepared this year with a more than adequate supply of Rage Tail Menaces. What color? Pumpkin with gold and purple flakes. They will be rigged on the Gamakatsu 1/8 ounce wacky jig hook. Button the nose tight to the weight. Add a drop of super glue to hold it there and you're good to go for several fish. It's a great weedless presentation. This is a Rage Tail Grub, but it's rigged the same way. I rig the flippers in the horizontal position. Big O suggested trying them in a vertical arrangement. This is a Jackall wacky jig hook. Cannot use the Gamakatsu in MASS because the weight is lead. Wish I could because the vertical shank to the eye catches a lot of grass. The photo is just to show the way I rig the bait. 1
macmichael Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 My wife isn't going to fish all day or every day. She enjoys seeing the sites, historical places, horsback riding etc.
BassnChris Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 How about a list of those arriving early? Maybe we can have a pre-soiree, soiree to compare notes. Beckie and I are planning on being there Monday night. Not as early as you.

She enjoys fishing but probably could be enticed by the other ladies to do some alternate activities. By the way (Long) Mike, she's my fiance, she likes that status as opposed to just the friend designation. The ladies seem to be particular about these things. Just sayin... This is pretty funny....took her crappie fishing last year, she had a great time but decided the Zebco 33 is the greatest reel ever (for her). Soooo...I bought her a couple pink ladies models and have one of them paired with a 6' St Croix Legend Elite Rod (I bought it years ago and seldom use it). Would like to hear Roadwarrior's commentary on the best uses for this combo....

It seems one of the best uses for this combo has nothing to do with fishing....just sayin 1

Thanks Tom As I've never fished for smallies I really had no idea what to bring. Everything I've learned about them is from here on this site. I'll be going shopping soon! Mike

Anywho I have corrected my mistake. Apologies to Susan. 1

Apologies to Susan. No problem....no apology necessary, I Kind of like "HIS LATEST SQUEEZE" but suspect that would have put us both in trouble. Actually she's a really good sport. I told her about all this and she had a good laugh.
