Kansas anglers fishing meet

[w4svc]

Any Kansas anglers want to have a Kansas tournament?

This would be a for fun event.

This could be on any lake and any Saturday next year.

Also open to all fishermen bank or boat.

No entry fees no prizes just Bragging rights.

Looks like we have a lake, Bone Creek and a date March 8th.

I'm up 4 it!

[TruflShufl]

I could make an appearance depending on the time and the place.

[w4svc]

Well looks like we have three interested kansas fishermen.

I thought we would have more interest in this but oh well.

Lets put our heads together and pick a lake and a weekend.

well i guess since nuclear penguin said he would do it, that means i will too... plus we can use my boat or hopefully he gets something a lil better than mine by that time

[Painter Dude]

Heres a lake that is centrally located in KS. Very user friendly for boaters or bank fishing. Lots of cover and lots of catchable bass

I'd be up for it.  Bone Creek, Big Hill, Hillsdale, Lone Star, Coffee Co. or La Cygne would be my choices but wherever I would try to make it.

supposedly bone creek has gone down hill from what i have heard, i fished there for the youth qualifier their a couple years back and loved it...  I like bulter county lake but i don't know if that is too far for some of you guys or not

I fished Bone Creek 8 - 10 times this summer and trust me, it has NOT gone downhill much.  No, you can't go out and catch 30 or 40 twelve to fourteen inch bass, but you can get quite a few 16 to 18 inchers fairly regularly with an occasional 20+ incher.  Butler Co. would be fine too, as well as Winfield Lake.

[fatmanslim247]

Bone creek sounds good then, i fish butler all the time.  I need to expand my lakes, so i can get better at finding the spots and locating bass since butler is just an easy read.  i've never fished winfield but that would be a far drive for the people up north.  I'm game for anything to the east of wichita, and since nuclear penguin is in pittsburg i can pick him up if he doesn't have his boat by then.  

[Painter Dude]

OHHH!!!! the weather outside is frightful!!!

I can't get this song out of my head, for some reason.

[skunked_again]

id be up for a meet. i would rather the meet be on a bigger lake that didnt have HP restrictions or be a no-wake lake.

melvern would be a good place to chase both large and smallies.

[fatmanslim247]

I don't have a very big boat, and melvern is pretty freakin big.  i go to a no wake lake and still run full throttle, it needs to be be like bone creek, alot of good fishing but accessible without a 30 minute jog with atleast my boat

[KU_Bassmaster.]

I would be up for it .... depending on what what schedule will be like.  I think Bone Creek would be ideal.  No HP restrictions, big enough with those with big boats and very fishable for those of us with small boats.

[pittbassfishing]

I was out on bone creek today.  from bout 830 till 1200 and caught 3 14" bass. All on a lil craw soft plastic, in the creek. if it is raining that lake is relly good.

[codogs]

I'm interested.  Any thoughts on when this might happen?  I sold my truck about two months ago and probably won't buy a replacement until spring to tow my boat.

Never fished bone creek, but it looks like a great lake for a for-fun tournament.

[Painter Dude]

Early Spring? As soon as the ice melts

Pshhhhh .... I was thinking maybe this weekend  ;D ;D ;D

[Painter Dude]

I hear Ya KU!  We can all meet up with George Welcome at the Stick Marsh in Florida

[Painter Dude]

I would like to keep this post active. it's very possible lots of guys are without power and unable to post or read mail  >:(so if anyone is still interested vote for/ or suggest a location. After the first of the year we can zoom in on dates.

[skunked_again]

is this lake a fishing only lake? is it no wake?

[pittbassfishing]

It is a fishing lake only and it is 550 or so acres.  you can run it only takes like 3 mins end to end with a 200 hp. I dont slow down throught the trees I just shut my eyes and go hard.

[Painter Dude]

ABA division 128 runs at Bone Creek and I have read some good reports from there this past year. I have never been there myself. If we meet there does it have a shelter house or an area that we can do a cook-out?

[ring fry]

No shelter houses at either ramp but fairly large parking lots.  It doesn't matter a bit to me, but those driving Hummers and pulling new Tritons, you have to travel either 3 or 7 miles on gravel roads to get to a ramp  

[fatmanslim247]

Several years ago when i fished the you state qualifier there it was a very good lake.  We ended up just bringing grills etc for the food, i think me and my dad slept in the back of the minivan so i don't remember what the camping was like out there.  It was well worth the drive to find that boat ramp, I just remember how clear it was, atleast it was the clearest lake i had fished a tournament which isn't much considering we fish all mud bottom lakes.  But i was throwing a spinnerbait across some weed beds and watching the bass come chasing my lure was amazing.
