Super User Lund Explorer Posted June 23, 2015 Super User Posted June 23, 2015 I'd be interested in the KY lake trip depending on when it is. If its mid to late month I will not be able to attend. If the choice of date came down to Mike making a choice between when you could go, or if I could attend, my choice would to make the effort for you to attend. I already have a trip booked in February to head north for Devils Lake perch, and making a trip to Kentucky Lake a week or so earlier was already in my plans. Who knows, I might sneak down for Jack's Classic! Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted June 23, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 23, 2015 The boss and I we're just recently talking about our own roadtrip for 2016. We decieded to run Rt 66 all the way to Pacific in our new motor home... (I just Love this retirement gig) Even tho we're both from Chicago which is where it starts, I really didn't want to drive that much out of the way being we live on the So West coast of Florida. So we thought of picking it up in Oklahoma, which with a little time planning on the boss end, who I elected as our official navigator, we probably could make both, maybe one coming and one going! Hmmm That may work out. We had such a great time at the last Official Road Trip in 2014 and met so many people who I can still call friend, that we may have to work both of these in. Anyway, as of now put me and Jeannie down for both. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Yates, but what better way to honor a members contributions than to have a permanent remembrance of a man that was obviously respected by the folks who knew him!

Mike There was an article in Bassmaster about a fishing roadtrip on route 66. That would be so cool! Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted June 23, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 23, 2015 There was an article in Bassmaster about a fishing roadtrip on route 66. That would be so cool! Really!! I may have to check that out! Thanks Jakob Mike Quote
jcdogfish Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I can't speak for everyone that was on the trip this year. I think that is a great idea to name it for someone that contrubuted so much to this site. It would be a small token of appreciation that would honor his memory for a long time to come. Might even be a good opportunity for those of us who did not have the pleasure of meeting him to get to know a little about him. Mike, we have plenty time to plan a nice event. I can't make a whole week but should be able to be there for weekends and maybe a couple of days during the week. Let me know if I can help with anything, I have a travel trailer a few miles from Fin and Feather and I'm up there 2 or 3 times a month. By the way, thanks for planning the last one. We all had a great time. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 23, 2015 Super User Posted June 23, 2015 Really!! I may have to check that out! Thanks Jakob Mike Yeah. I'll have to figure out what issue it was in. It was pretty recent. Quote
kingmotorboat Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I vote for Jack Yates classic catt filled me in on the story yesterday. Wish I would have had a chance to know him Quote
BassnChris Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I'm good with the name change.....I never met the man, but have read many a post by the man. 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 24, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 24, 2015 The last time the Classic was here.....we all met for dinner. We should do that a minimum......in addition to the two road trips. I know and I missed out on it because we were staying in Grove instead of Tulsa. I think Big O was the only person we ran into walking around the expo the little bit that we did. Would be nice to get to meet a few people in person that I post with on here. Quote
Super User gardnerjigman Posted June 30, 2015 Super User Posted June 30, 2015 I'll be at grand as well Quote
Shockwave Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I think I'm in for the Kentucky Lake event. I highly doubt I'd be able to make the Toledo Bend event. That's quite a hike coming from Wisconsin. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 2, 2015 Super User Posted July 2, 2015 While I won't be there, I think it's an admirable gesture to name the Toledo Bend event after Fishfordollars. Is it just me or is it really hard to believe that was over 4 years ago already? He was a solid dude on the forums. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 2, 2015 Super User Posted July 2, 2015 SPEEDBEAD, aint seen that name lately Quote
Dinky Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 They both sound great to me, Mike. I will plan on attending both if I can. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted July 6, 2015 Super User Posted July 6, 2015 They both sound great to me, Mike. I will plan on attending both if I can. Hey, look who appeared out of nowhere; my old buddy Bill Dinky. LOL. How you doin Mike? Want to share a room again at Kentucky? Quote
Dinky Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Sounds like a plan, assuming I am able to attend. I will still be in Florida and it's a long drive. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted July 7, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 7, 2015 Sounds like a plan, assuming I am able to attend. I will still be in Florida and it's a long drive. This coming from a man who probably drives 20,000 miles a year to attend various fishing events. Looking forward to seeing you again. Quote
bassarmy7 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I would love to attend toledo bend as i am about 20-30 min away at ft polk. Unfortunately i do not have a boat so hopefully someone could help out in that aspect. Until then hope everyone keeps their lines tight woth ol big mouth Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted July 9, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 9, 2015 You do not need a boat to attend our Road Trips. No one is left standing on the bank. All you need is the desire to make new friends ... and maybe a rod and reel or two. Quote
bassarmy7 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Then i am definitely down got the rods and reels covered and always up for meeting new people especially ones i have already learned alot from Quote
