Super User Alpster Posted January 29, 2007 Super User Posted January 29, 2007 I'm going to Fork after all!! I'll be traveling and rooming with flukemaster! Cant wait! EXCELLENT!!! 8-) This is awesome news, I was really dissapointed when it looked like you couldn't make it. Ronnie
Guest the_muddy_man Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Now all the Mods will be there ABSOLUTELY GREAT FBL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Super User Long Mike Posted January 29, 2007 Super User Posted January 29, 2007 After reading your post I went back to my map and located many more potential places than what I initially came up with. However, I'm going to lets this sleeping dog lie until I get to the lake in March. If I don't, I can see myself bugging everyone to death with "what if" questions. From this point on, I will simply concentrate on the equipment and clothing I will/may need for the trip. Since I will be fishing amoung Glenn and you mods I feel I must dress appropriately - and of course, carry the proper equipment. First, I'll need to order a Neiman Marcus catalog so that I may select the proper outdoor clothing. Secondly, I need to find out if Gucci offers a tackle bag. Third, I need to trash all my rods and replace them with Loomis GLX's. Forth, I need to replace all my spinning reels with Pfleugers Fifth, I need to buy four or five cases of Dom Perignon so as not to disappoint the delicate palates of Glenn and the mods. Sixth, I need to cancel my reservation for a rental boat and purchase No less than a $50,000 100 mph speed demon fully equpped with GPS/Depth finders on all four corners. Seventh I need to purchase a large trampoline and hire a dozen or so Hooters girls to jump on it. If I do all of the above, will I be accepted as an equal? On the other hand, if I show up looking like a pig with my Wal-Mart rods and reels, yet still provide the trampoline and the Hooters girls, will I still be accepted?
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 29, 2007 Super User Posted January 29, 2007 I'm glad your kidding Mike. I will be there with a borrowed boat and truck. Four or Five Rods. (Two that I made.) My confidence tackle in zip-loc bags. New line on my Diawa Advantage Reels and a good map. You will probably see me in my 3 dollar plastic sandals and wearing a gray tee shirt with no print on it and a pair of long shorts most of the time. Oh and I don't drink.
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 EXCELLENT 5BASS!!!!! First, I'll need to order a Neiman Marcus catalog so that I may select the proper outdoor clothing. NORTH FACE!!! Secondly, I need to find out if Gucci offers a tackle bag. PM Raul Fifth, I need to buy four or five cases of Dom Perignon so as not to disappoint the delicate palates of Glenn and the mods. We won't be mad if it's Crystal
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 In all seriousness Long Mike, Look at my screenname. I fish in a tin boat. I use spidershaft ($39) rods. The last rod I threw a cast with to date was a CAST for kids rod, zebco 33, M Zebco rod. I only use knock off plastics I do not drink. Maybe a 12 pack/ year and I've already had 4 this year I do not own a tackle box My pliers and scale are not X-Tools I wear flip flops when fishing freshwater, 90% of the time. They were $18 Fun,.....now that's free (provided bail is not required) and somthing I am truly addicted to!!
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 I got a call yesterday from someone down in Lake Fork. I honestly don't know who it was but think it may have been someone from the lodge. We had a major accent barrier between us, especially over the phone. If you are reading, I apologize. Anyway, he had said that someone had called from Canada, asking about the Lake Fork BassResource tournament. I explained that this is NOT a tournament, but a friendly gathering, a social event at a lake with great fishing, nothing more. I explained how to find this thread but I am left wondering who these 2 folks are?? I apologize once again, I was in the middle of a pick up at work (UPS driver) and the conversation was a bit confusing as I couldn't give my full attention. If either of you are reading, could you clarify this and let me know if I answered your questions? I don't want to leave anyone hanging or leave anyone with the wrong impression of what to expect. There is NO tournament of any sorts. There may be a few side wagers between friends tbut those are all completely independant of this site as well as any liability incurred during this trip. This is not a "BassResouce.com sanctioned event", it is a bunch of people taking independant vacations to the same place and are pooling their knowledge of the experience. That last part needed to be said for clarification reasons.

Super User Long Mike Posted February 2, 2007 Super User Posted February 2, 2007 LBH, in response to your claims of poverty, I have a phrase that I learned down in Cajun country. This version is rated PG instead of the usual R. "Your eyes may shine and your teeth may glitter, but don't try to bullshoot an old bullshooter."

Super User Long Mike Posted February 2, 2007 Super User Posted February 2, 2007 One of the many things that gave you away were the $18 flip-flops. They cost about $3 at WallyWorld, but I suppose they would cost $18 if you bought them from North Face. I hear North Face flip-flops are much more comfortable for Alpine climbing. After a short time you can't even tell you are wearing them ;D ;D ;D
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 hey guys, last night I had a dream I went to the fork trip. Me, muddyman and alpster where in a jon boat, but we didnt catch any fish. Right when I was thinking how cool it was to be fishing lake fork, I woke up and the clock said it was 9:56am.... To bad I aint going this year.... maybe next. :-[
Guest avid Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I looked up your dream and the number 956 in my golden book of voodoo spells and knitting for dummies. It translates to; "If you go to Lake Fork you will catch a share lunker" Don't mess with the mojo dude..............

Oh, catching a share lunker isn't the hard part for me, its getting there. ;D I've considered hitch hiking, hi-jacking a plane, riding underneath trains and biking, but it would be difficult to do these things will all my tackle... And besides, my mom wouldn't let me go at all....
Guest avid Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOps Allow me to amend my previous statement. "Don't mess with the mom" Better luck next year.
