Jack Fate Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Just a heads up, we did not get to make the trip to check out the cabins. But will ASAP, but going by Google Earth it will take every bit of 100 ft to reach most docks if not 150 ft. As for someone to share a cabin with. Looks like my wife will be there part of the time also. So will just drop off our camper the Sunday before. Then head on home and take the boat back on Wed am. Found a camp site a few miles from there toward the dam. Fisherman's Resort Campgrounds 300 County Rd. 411 Lot Suite 40, Town Creek, AL 35672 its about 4 miles away. Just an FYI,. Unless they have fixed it I would not recommend using the boat ramp at Fisherman's resort. There is also a Wise Alloys campground with boat ramp about 4 or 5 miles away going back towards Muscle Shoals just off River Road. http://www.colbertcountytourism.org/index.php/2012-11-08-15-09-04/rv-parks-campgrounds Colbert County Alloys Park/Campground 180 Alloys Park Lane, Muscle Shoals, Al 35661Located on Wilson Lake, this new RV park/campground has RV, tent & primitive camping, electricity/water/sewage, dump station, bathhouse, boat ramp. Open year round. (256) 383-0783 1

Open year round. (256) 383-0783 Jack thanks for the info. But figure it will be filled the week we will be there. Being they allow people to stay there 50 weeks at one spot. I bet its filled with people that park there camper there early and stay the whole year. But will sure check it out. Only bad thing, we will drop ours off on Sunday on the way back to Harrison Bay state park. As we always camp and fish there the week before this one. So would be leaving it where ever we stay until we get back on Wed. As I have to go home and get the boat. Can wash clothes in the camper. But still have to get the boat. May have a hitch on the back of the camper by then. Would only be around 80ft with it behind the 5th wheel. LOL Pete
BassnChris Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Why do the hands of time tick so slowly when it is cold? 1
BG RTR Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Joe wheeler campground is also close by but u would have to trailer the boat to Wilson unless u locked through wheeler dam. 1
Pete-K Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Joe wheeler campground is also close by but u would have to trailer the boat to Wilson unless u locked through wheeler dam. Thanks for the info, and I have been there before. But would rather stay closer. Even though for one day or half of a day, I hope to fish around the park there. Last time I fished there, between both of us in the boat. We had 2 limits of 5 fish each and averaged weight of 5 lbs per fish. Best fish was 9 lbs 15 oz, next was 8 lbs 11 oz and a pair of 7's. This same time of year . And within site of the dam. That was throwing 20+ crank baits That was I think in 1990. We were fishing a Club Tournament. Would have loved it to have been a money game 1
Pete-K Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 It it was unreal, all of them on deep diving crank baits. Sad part was, I broke off and my buddy in the back of the boat had the three biggest fish in the boat while I was tieing a new one on. Then stupid Yachts got to running over where we were catching them. And that was the end. For some reason that spot has never produced like that again. He has tired it a dozen times and never found them. But I know where its at, But will have to borrow that boat to find it. Put a Big X to mark it by.

You may be getting it confused with the campground at Riverton/Rose Trail down on Pickwick. Year round "squatters" used to be a problem there but TVA put a stop to that.

That was what is listed on there website. you can only use a site for 50 weeks out of the year? And that was on the new site. It may be that people don't know it yet. Plus at 15.00 per night with full hookup. Man that is cheap. Pete

bighed Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 It's with mixed emotions that I have to withdraw from this years Roadtrip. My eldest and his wife who live out of the country will be welcoming my first grandchild into the world in May. Ill be making the trip to visit them but that will not leave enough vacation balance to also come to the road trip. I will be at the Classic if anyone would like to meet up there. Best wishes to all the attendees! Bert 1
