papajoe222 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Just wondering why some of you are still undecided about attending the 2014 Road Trip. Yea, you've made your lists of pros and cons about attending, but I know one thing that isn't on either of those lists. The only way to find out is to attend, even if it's just for a couple of days. You've taken week-end fishing trips before and this isn't just any week-end trip. Besides, I still need someone to help defray my transportation costs. Unlike some of the attendees, I 'm on a fixed income. Yea, I'm a cranky old ex-military fart and I just may have to have you pump out a hundred or so push-ups if you don't get off the fence and make a decision. Check out the invitation for more information. 1 Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 I would love to, unfortunately May and June are impossible months for me to get away from work. The wife was all for it, but my boss was not. Too much going on in the Vegetation and Tree Management world in those months. Quote
papajoe222 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 ANYONE ELSE? If not, I'll have to ask for volunteers. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU DROP AND GIVE ME 20. SPEAK UP! 1 Quote
Cast_And_Blast Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'd love to go but can't drive and don't have a real job since I'm only 15. Plus my dad isn't real big into bass fishing so that's a no go. Quote
SnazzySenko Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'd love to go but can't drive and don't have a real job since I'm only 15. Plus my dad isn't real big into bass fishing so that's a no go. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 16 years old. I don't know why I love fishing so much. My dad hates boats and any kind of fish/fishing. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 You young folks in your teens are welcome to attend, but you MUST be accompanied by an adult. Quote
Cast_And_Blast Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 16 years old. I don't know why I love fishing so much. My dad hates boats and any kind of fish/fishing. i really got into it the past couple years. i just wish i had more opportunities to go instead of being confined to the 200 yards of bank that I fish all the time. I mean, I usually do pretty good and that's where i caught my PB, but it's nice to go somewhere different and have another view, you know? Maybe that'll change when i can drive! sorry that it's off topic! Quote
Cast_And_Blast Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 You young folks in your teens are welcome to attend, but you MUST be accompanied by an adult. I wish my dad would make the trip with me, but he doesn't really care for bass fishing. He's more of a catfish kind of guy. Quote
BassnChris Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Besides, I still need someone to help defray my transportation costs.This statement alone, reduces the cost of attending the Bass Resource Road Trip!Last year was my first Road Trip.......and I don't plan on missing another one! When I get to the end of my time here on earth.......I'm thinking about having myself taken to the taxidermist......then I could keep attending the Road Trips.....even after I'm gone. The only downside to that is........I guess I would have to let my wife drive the boat! Seriously.......it is a blast and I did not hear one complaint last year on the trip.......not even from me. C'mon and have some fun........make that decision today and send in the registration form and make some plans with us. Quote
BassnChris Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I wish my dad would make the trip with me, but he doesn't really care for bass fishing. He's more of a catfish kind of guy. He can catfish if he wants. Some of the attendees even catch drum! Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 I thought I was going to make this one but my wife graduates with her masters on that Saturday Thats a big deal and I'm proud of her! 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 22, 2014 Global Moderator Posted February 22, 2014 Once my son is old enough to go I plan on attending but he'll be just over 6 months old by then, probably still a little too young Quote
bmac31 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Im planing on going in 2015, need to save some money. Wouldve loved to go this year but financially its a bad time for a trip that far. Im in CT, if the trip was a.boarding state id definitely be there. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 Mid April trough mid June and mid Sept. through early November are the busy times on the farm, I can not get away,we often work 6 days a week, 10-14 hour days during these periods. Besides, during those months the fishng 10 minutes down the road on the local lakes is fantastic, I can go out for 2-3 hours after a 12 hour day, on a day we get rained out, or on sunday and catch them good so that keeps me sane and occupied.

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 25, 2014 Super User Posted February 25, 2014 It's time to rock! We will be staying at the The Doublehead Resort. Call 1-800-685-9267 to make reservations. You MUST mention you are with the Bass Resource group in order to get the group discount. You do not have to book it for the entire week, you can go longer or shorter. Just understand we cannot guarantee availability if you want to stay outside the event dates.You must make your reservation by Feb. 28th. Room availability cannot be guaranteed after March 1st. Note that a $120 deposit is required. If you need any help with your room reservation, send a PM to Alpster with a phone number where you can be reached. The cabins comfortably sleep 4-8 persons. Assuming 4 people share a cabin, the rate per person per day would be $46.98, tax and cleaning charge included. Quote
tbone1993 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 ANYONE ELSE? If not, I'll have to ask for volunteers. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU DROP AND GIVE ME 20. SPEAK UP! Someone needs to help this guy out. I have college tournaments around the same time so I cannot attend or else we would probably go together. Im going to try and meet up with him over summer to catch some pigs in Northern IL / Wisconsin. I Quote

papajoe222 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks..............I believe he has himself squared away since that post. Yes, I'm back on my meds and am the same jolly old fart, or at least that's what the Mrs. says. Quote
macmichael Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 that's great we should make quite the pair. 1 jolly 1 crabby. lol Quote
DILLY07 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I wish I could go but I'll be preparing, organizing and practicing for State for Iowa Bass Federation. I leave May 7th and come home on the 11th. Next year, I'll try! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 that's great we should make quite the pair. 1 jolly 1 crabby. lol We could make it a threesome. I'm crabby in the mornings and jolly (after a few beers) in the evenings. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to make reservations for the Road Trip before the cabins are released to the general public. Quote
Super User CWB Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 You young folks in your teens are welcome to attend, but you MUST be accompanied by an adult. If I recall, that rule applies to you too doesn't it Mike. My sons last year playing ball at College and most of my spring will be spent in the stands watching him. Then I have to start paying for it. Ughhh Quote
xxxblungblung Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Getting married this year and had to use up all my PTO on that. Quote
