rogueagent Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 We've fished hard for 2 days in and near Carrice Creek. Caught one 2.5 lb on a spinnerbait near the bank and one on a football jig. That's all the news I have for you. Crappie biting under docks in Carrice early and then they just shut off. Looks like a tough week of weather ahead of us. Wish I had more to report. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 As Bass_Fanatic said, everyone over the age of 18 is invited, with or without a boat, and with or without bass fishing experience. Yes, the lake we fish changes from year-to-year. Since the *** of the Road Trips, we have fished Lake Fork twice, Kentucky Lake twice, Pickwick Lake twice, Wilson Lake, and Guntersville Lake twice. This is our first trip to Toledo Bend. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 With great reluctance I must inform everyone that Road Warrior is going to have to miss his first Road Trip. He has taken on a new job that begins March 1st. Kent feels that his new employer would not be very understanding if he took a week of vacation 18 days after he was hired. Go figure. Regardless, I'm going to step into his shoes and host the annual hamburger cook-out. The date and venue to be announced later. Quote
BassnChris Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Dog gone it Kent........we'll miss you! Good luck in your new job buddy........save up that vacation time for next year! Quote

BassnChris Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 LOL......I'm skeered of the stumps! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 I ain't, if the lake is within 5' of full pool, but I keep my eyes wide open. Quote
Cameron211 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Well definitely hope I can be a part of it next year. Toledo bend just little far from indiana. Sounds like alot of fun and educational as well. Hope you guys and gals have a blast!!! Quote

Missing the RoadTrip is very disappointing, but unavoidable this year. The Grand Opening is scheduled for May and there is much work to be done getting ready for the event. I plan to see you all next year.. -Kent Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 2015 Just picking Kent I live 2 hours from the lake & have a hard time getting there. Tommy T Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 22, 2015 Super User Posted February 22, 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. 1 Quote
bighed Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Called F&F just now to make a res and they are booked up. Something about a couple tourneys that weekend. Drug my feet waiting for my schedule to firm up and shouldn't have. Looking for alternatives now. Quote
bighed Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Ok, was able to book a place for Sharon and I a mile or so away at Fox's lodge. Will arrive Thursday depart Sunday. See y'all soon! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 27, 2015 Super User Posted February 27, 2015 Hey Bert, I love staying at Fox's. David and Pam, the owners, are great folks. If I hadn't of been planning on a large group function, I would have stayed there. The accommodations are not exactly 4 star, but the sheets are clean, the roaches are kept at bay, and the HVAC works. What more can a fisherman ask for? Quote
Dinky Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 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. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Mike, sorry to hear about the surgery, but it's good to hear that you are recovering well. Hope to see you on the next Road Trip! Quote
BassnChris Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Glad your getting better Mike........see ya next time! Quote
bighed Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I hear water temps around 50 now with cool weather forecast the next 10 days. May not warm much before we get there. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 When y'all get here the spawn should be in full swing! 1 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 2, 2015 Super User Posted March 2, 2015 Get well soon Mike. RW ... sorry to hear you won't make it either ... Quote
