jcdogfish Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Getting close!!! I have a tournament down south this weekend, after that looks like I will be up there every weekend. Trying to swing the long easter weekend too. 1 Quote
riskkid 2 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Well, I will actually have limited contact with customers, except friends of course. My job is managing and motivating the staff, keeping the store in "showroom" condition and dealing with problems. An immediate challenge is becoming more familiar with in-store branded products. Congrats Kent, should be a fun job!! Two thoughts: 1- Will we finally find out who really makes BPS reels? 2- Will roadwarrior join the Carbonlite Posse? Quote
riskkid 2 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hate to cancel, Long Mike, I was looking forward to fishing Toledo Bend--I never have fished it before. I had major surgery a little over three weeks ago and although it went ok I am not able to make the 900+ mile drive so soon. I will look forward to seeing the photos and hearing the "stories" about the big ones that got away at next year's road trip. Glad the surgery went OK Mike. Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back on the water soon. Quote
bighed Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 So who's in? Do we have an offical unofficial RT attendees list? Quote
BassnChris Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 So who's in? Do we have an offical unofficial RT attendees list? I think Mike is working on that.......I know I'm in Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted March 7, 2015 Super User Posted March 7, 2015 I'll update the list tomorrow. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted March 8, 2015 Super User Posted March 8, 2015 OK folks, here is the updated list of attendees. If you have not PM'd me with your contact information, you are not on the list. Catt Bighead & wife BassinChris Felix77 (all the way from New York) Wesley Long Mike Bass-Fanatic Jcdogfish It's a cryin shame that many of our regulars will not be able to make it this year, because The Bend is such an awesome fishery. However, I'm looking forward to seeing a few old friends and making new ones. Tomorrow I will post a schedule of who will be there when, but right now I'm watching a very good movie. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 8, 2015 Super User Posted March 8, 2015 can't explain how excited I am for this trip. Looking forward to making some new friends and memories to last me a lifetime! 1 Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted March 9, 2015 Super User Posted March 9, 2015 With the exception of BassinChris, Bighead, Felix77, and me, it appears that everyone will be arriving on Friday and leaving on Sunday. The rest of us will be arriving earlier and leaving later. It's very disappointing that everyone cannot stay for the duration of the event. For that reason, I am planning on holding the hamburger cook-out on Friday evening. It will be our first meet and greet as a group. I'll throw the burgers on the pit at 6:00. If anyone wants to help me slice and dice, please show up at 5:30. I'll supply Becky's famous baked beans, soft-drinks and beer, but if you want anything stronger, its BYOB. I'll pass the hat and ask for a $5.00 contribution to help offset my costs. Contributions are not mandatory. Bighead, with such a small group, are you still willing to do your fish-fry? If so, we can do it on Saturday evening, using the same approximate time frame. I'll firm up the location of the cook-out(s) tomorrow. With the exception of Felix77, is there anyone else who will be arriving without a boat? This is an occasion for us all to make new friends. It seems that we will have more boaters than non-boaters. Would you guys be receptive to a random draw that might leave your boat sitting on the trailer while you fished with someone new, and vice-versa the next day? Quote
jcdogfish Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I don't have a problem riding with someone or taking my boat. I would love to get in the boat with some of the guys that really know the place. You could even break the days in 2 parts and swap partners during lunch. (or we can follow Catt, Fanatic and Wesley ) Quote
bighed Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Mike, I'll be prepared to fry fish Sat at the same time. Catfish, fries, coleslaw, and beans sound ok? Quote
BassnChris Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Mike, I'll be prepared to fry fish Sat at the same time. Catfish, fries, coleslaw, and beans sound ok? Mmmmmmmm.......sounds real good Bert. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I'm really looking forward to it! Be glad to finally meet some guys that I talk with a lot over the forums and phone. Fishing should be at its peak and we should see some big fish caught!! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted March 10, 2015 Super User Posted March 10, 2015 I was mistaken when I said the Wesley was going to join us. He has started a new job and will be offshore. We'll miss you Wesley. Bert, I'm very much looking forward to your fish fry. Once again we'll pass the hat for donations. 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 10, 2015 Super User Posted March 10, 2015 I absolutely regret having to announce I'm out! A prior commitment that was canceled due to the passing of an old friend has been rescheduled for Saturday, the only day I could make it. Quote

A prior commitment that was canceled due to the passing of an old friend has been rescheduled for Saturday, the only day I could make it. You will be missed. Was looking forward to meeting you. Quote
jcdogfish Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yea, sorry to see a lot of folks can't make it. Its always hard to get schedules in line. Seems like there is always so much on the table in our life today. We may not get a bite but we sure as heck will slow it down for a few days and have a good time. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted March 10, 2015 Super User Posted March 10, 2015 Well crap, Tommy. Very sorry to hear that you can't make it. Maybe next year. It seems that we have potential attendees dropping like flies. We are now down to a cozy little group of seven; the perfect number for a penny-ante game of bourre'. Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 10, 2015 Super User Posted March 10, 2015 It's crazy! Aint been on the lake in 6-8 months, I'm usually there at least once a month. Aint been fishing in 3 weeks! The weather looks like it's break just right, it should explode! Quote
bighed Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Water temp still in the lower 50's. This will be prespawn for sure. Bigun's turned on last weekend in Texas, three over 13 were landed including a 15.17 on Ray Roberts and a 13 something in a Bass Champs tourney on Rayburn. Quote
scrutch Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I'm totally surprised to see that our resident spell-checker "Long Mike" hasn't done anything about the misspelled title of this thread. You're slipping Mike --or is that "sipping"? --------------- Fixed...-Kent 1 Quote
jcdogfish Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I will go up there tomorrow for a couple of days to look around Quote
