TruflShufl Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 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. We don't get that very often in KS, do we? Quote
hammer84 Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 I'm a Missouri guy but I maybe interested, if you will have me. I'm looking to get my first bass boat this winter and I'll be looking to expand my horizons after being shore bound for my entire life Quote
w4svc Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 It looks like we have a lake. Bone Creek. Now we can start on the weekend that works for everyone. Quote

Hammer Bone Creek is just over the horizon so come on over we wont hold being from Mo against you. But watch out for those KU fans You would be more than welcome. Quote
ring fry Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 I went to the Mo. get to gether last year and had a ball even though it was close to Columbia. : I've got no problem with someone coming from Mo., Ok., or wherever. The entry fee over there was a couple of lures, with the winner taking all. If we get enough, maybe we could pay two or three places. Just a suggestion because it's just for fun, anyway. One question though, we might have to check with KDWP about a permit. Don't want to get anyone in trouble. Quote
w4svc Posted December 22, 2007 Author Posted December 22, 2007 I will contact KDWP next week to check but if I read the regs. right we should not need a bass pass. http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/fishing/tournaments Quote

hammer84 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I'll have my MU gear on when I show up so you all will know who I am ;D BTW, got snowed out today trying to go see the boat I want. Its not much, '78 procraft that has been rebuilt from the 'ground' up with a 50 hp merc. Fits my boating experience, I have never had a boat that didn't have sails Quote

I went last weekend in the snow 16 hours round trip for a 78 Ranger with a 50 merc. Did find that My Tacoma had no problem pulling it in the worst weather. 78 Procraft sounds like a good boat and already rebuilt too. Quote
Painter Dude Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Hope Y'all had a Merry Christmas. Quote
Painter Dude Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 To the Top! And a Happy New Year! Bone Creek it is! Date-- any suggestions? Quote
Painter Dude Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Here it is! Saturday March 8 at Bone Creek ! PM me or post on here if interested and we can get this ball rollin!!! Quote
ring fry Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 If I'm not fishing Fork that weekend, I'll be there wearing my Orange Bowl Champions hat and tee. Quote
ring fry Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 All right, here's the best I can do: 1. Get to 69 Hwy. You're on your own here. 2. From the north; go about 13 miles south of Ft. Scott to 680th Ave., go west on 680th 2 miles to 200th St., turn north on 200. 200St. IS the boat ramp a little over a mile from 680th Av. 2b. From the south; go about 4 miles north of Arma to 680th Ave. then do the same. Warning, the last three miles is on gravel roads but the boat ramp is double, concrete, and has a small dock. Bone Creek is a lot like Lake Fork with it's cover, so DO NOT run on plane outside the boat lanes and main lake. Your closest motels will be in Ft. Scott, about 20 minutes north of the ramp or Pittsburg, about 20 minutes south of the ramp. The better food and adult beverages are located in Pittsburg. There is another ramp at the west end of the lake, but that means five more miles of gravel roads and it is more difficult to find. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Quote
Painter Dude Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks also Ring Fry -Found it on Google Earth! Looks nice! Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted January 11, 2008 Super User Posted January 11, 2008 have we decided on entry fees? also i read on the KDPW web page that 13"-18" fish can be kept....i think. we might also make sure theres no other tournaments that weekend or the weekend before, a lake that small wont take all the pressure. i know my clubs first tourny is the same weekend.

IneedAnewScreenName9886691 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm looking pretty good but I have to maintain bubble status until we get closer :-[ I am hoping things fall into place for me, I would love to put some names with faces, etc. Plus I have never fished Bone Creek and have heard a lot of good things about it!

w4svc Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Looks like we have are a go at Bone Creek. Today I talked to Gary Smith the contact person at Bone Creek. Nothing else on that date so we are a go. They are even looking forward to having us. Quote
