Guest avid Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Went to the Bass Pro Shop in Orlando with my new friend and BassResource.com buddy, Stansdwarf8. We shopped around then had steak sandwiches. I'm bumping this thread because Stan expressed some interest in going to Fork, but doesnt' know much about our "road trip". So here is this years story Stan. Read at your own risk. But here is the real news!!! At the store we met a FAMOUS pro, who asked not to be named. This pro has fished Lake Fork many times and gave me the complete skinny on what lures to use, patterns to fish, and secret lunker hideouts. P.S. No one is allowed to PM Stan to see if this post is true or :-* Avid
Cigarlover 1 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Anyone planning on going down solo? I'm seriously considering but will be going it alone.
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 22, 2006 Super User Posted November 22, 2006 Here's the list so far: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1161268320
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 CIGAR---Nboucher, my self and maybe Dirk are flying out of Prov. Come down the night before and travel with us!
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Hey LBH, you should use the song "God Blessed Texas" for the lake fork video. I listened to it the other day and it would be PERFECT. Just a thought
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 Nope, no video, y'all will just have to go next time to find out what goes on down there when we roll into town. Sorry. J/K
Guest avid Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Nope, no video, y'all will just have to go next time to find out what goes on down there when we roll into town. Sorry. Nope. What happens in Lake Fork, stays in Lake Fork
Cigarlover 1 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 So I'm about 99% in. Anybody going that hasn't booked their room yet or is anyone that has booked interested in another roomate. Shoot me a pm if so and maybe we can save a little $$.
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 3, 2006 Author Posted December 3, 2006 Cigar and Long mike, you guys need to hook up.
Super User Gatorbassman Posted December 5, 2006 Super User Posted December 5, 2006 The Martin's Map CD of Lake Fork is on sale for the holidays. http://www.martinsmap.com/products/forkcd/forkcd.htm
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks Fluke. Just so everyones knows, a good, laminated map is a must. Don't bother trying to read it to find fish, every inch looks like it deserves a cast, no, the map is needed to get your butt around. The boat lanes, etc are all there and not having one would be like trying to get around Belgium without a map. For the record. "Tom Tom, where is the best cove" and "Tom Tom where are the big fish" or "Tom Tom, how do we get back" just won't work...................... unless you are on Mr. Redingtons boat! lol
nboucher Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 a good, laminated map is a must. Where do you get them, Russ?
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 I got THIS ONE. Glad I kept it!! I reiterate- make sure it's a waterproof map!
Super User Gatorbassman Posted December 9, 2006 Super User Posted December 9, 2006 I got my Martin's Map CD Rom today and all I can say is WOW This thing is awesome. It has detail all the way down to showing you where underwater fences are. It has aerial photos of the lake before they filled it and hundred of GPS waypoints. I am blown away. It is worth the money.
nboucher Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Fluke, how would you use it on the water? Bring printouts? You'd need a laptop, no?
Guest the_muddy_man Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 You guys are gonna love this I CANT READ A MAP Im forever lost Well I gusee this is something you guys are gonna have to teach me I DONT HAVE A CLUE
Guest avid Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 OK, first lesson. Make sure your not reading the map upside down. (see you in the gulf of mexico)
nboucher Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 You guys are gonna love this I CANT READ A MAP Im forever lost Well I gusee this is something you guys are gonna have to teach me I DONT HAVE A CLUE How are you at asking for directions? ;D
Super User Gatorbassman Posted December 10, 2006 Super User Posted December 10, 2006 You guys are gonna love this I CANT READ A MAP Im forever lost Well I gusee this is something you guys are gonna have to teach me I DONT HAVE A CLUE I'd love to be in the Bass Wagon when Muddy is giving Alpster directions. It might sound a little like this. "Take the blue road up a little ways and turn down." :-?
Super User Gatorbassman Posted December 10, 2006 Super User Posted December 10, 2006 Fluke, how would you use it on the water? Bring printouts? You'd need a laptop, no? I've got that covered with my laptop and a paper map to mark up.
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 10, 2006 Author Posted December 10, 2006 If I could make a map that I would use, it would just show boat lanes. Like I said, on the map, and in person, every inch looks perfect. Will take a little time in the area to learn a bite. Doesn't hurt to have super detailed maps but often it's a matter of temps in certain coves, depending on where they face (E,W,N,S) AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE INCOMING WATER IN THEM.
Guest avid Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I bought a waterproof fold up map of lake fork from FHS maps. It's not an advanced "pro" map but it has some depth contours, boat ramps, cove names, and prominant structure. Now for the good news. For some reason they sent me two. So I have a spare. I'll bring it to the Fork so we'll have an extra if one is needed. avid
Super User Alpster Posted December 11, 2006 Super User Posted December 11, 2006 You guys are gonna love this I CANT READ A MAP Im forever lost Well I gusee this is something you guys are gonna have to teach me I DONT HAVE A CLUE I'd love to be in the Bass Wagon when Muddy is giving Alpster directions. It might sound a little like this. "Take the blue road up a little ways and turn down." :-? Not to worry gents. The BassMobile has a Garmin 2820 on the dash. I am more worried about Muddy falling in love with that sexy voice that tells you where to turn. BTW when your looking at the contour maps of Lake fork, I make contour maps for a living. I am a Land Surveyor and although most of my work is residential construction I have done a couple of lakes here in NJ and some ocean & bay topography. I have a particular fondness for maps (good ones that is). Ronnie
