Super User Gatorbassman Posted February 18, 2008 Super User Posted February 18, 2008 How do you guys feel about having a "Show N Tell" during and after dinner each night? We could have an open floor so anyone could get up and show what they learned that day or give instruction on what is working. It could be a question and answer time as well. I would be glad to kick it off each night but I don't want to be the only one doing it.

Super User Long Mike Posted February 18, 2008 Super User Posted February 18, 2008 Terrific idea! I'm for it 100%! But if I have to show it, everyone has to promise not to tell. :-[
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 18, 2008 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 18, 2008 I'm up for a show-n-tell. 'Course, if we get skunked, there won't be much to tell! ------ How many people are coming in Sunday after 5pm? I need to know asap because you can purchase fishing licenses at their store, but it closes at 5pm. However, they will open it in the evening for a short designated period if we all come in at the same time to get licenses. Please let me know asap if this works for you.
Super User Alpster Posted February 18, 2008 Super User Posted February 18, 2008 I'm up for a show-n-tell. 'Course, if we get skunked, there won't be much to tell! Are you kidding?? The closer to skunked these guys get, the better the stories will be! Besides, I will have some cool pictures of SPEEDBEAD after I lose my temper and toss him in the water if we get SKUNKED. There is a link on the Roadtrip website to order licenses 'on line' also. Ronnie
Super User Long Mike Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 Although I couldn't find license info on the Roadtrip site, I simply Googled "Alabama Fishing License." Fifteen minutes later my new license was printed out and in my hands. Piece of cake.

Super User .ghoti. Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 Hey Speedbead, when you jump in, give us some warning. I want a pic too. ;D ;D ;D Got my beer ordered for the trip. One of my kids is in the Air Force, staioned at the St Louis base, and will pick some up for me at the base exchange. I'm ready to fish. And I'm ready for the beer swap.
Super User Long Mike Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 What beer swap? Is this a private thing?
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 What beer swap? Is this a private thing? It has just kind of picked up Mike. I promised Jimzee some Yuengling, RW some dark beer from the local brewery and GHOTI is getting whatever I feel like Care to partake, Mike? Like I said, I am not getting loaded, just providing some beverages...
RiskKid. Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Some fun and informational reading for the upcoming trip.... www.anglingalabama.com/seasonal.htm
Super User Alpster Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 Speedbead and I need some help if anyone can.... I have my heart set on pulling my boat behind the BassBus to Guntersville for Steve & I to fish in for the week. It's a 16' aluminum V-hull. I do not own an outboard because you can't put an outboard in fresh water where I live, all the lakes are electric only. I have rented several motors in different places on my trips to Canada. However, I have called every place I can think of in my area and in Alabama and have drawn a blank. It seems no one rents an outboard alone. I am hoping that someone in NJ, Eastern PA or anywhere along our route to Guntersville (I-81 SW to I-40 to I-75 to I-59) has a small outboard we could use for the week. We don't need much. A 9.9 or 15 hp kicker with a tiller will do. The boat is rated for up to 40hp so anything up to that with a tiller, would be great. I am happy to pay rent, make a deposit and I will be fully responsible for the motor. I will treat it like a baby and return it better than I got it. If you have one or know of someone or a commercial rental along our route, Wayne & I would greatly appreciate if you can help us get hooked up. If I have to, I will even look at buying a used motor on ebay or whatever, but consider this a last resort as I would promptly sell it as soon as I return. I can't justify owning, storing and maintaining a motor for use once a year. If you can help a brutha out send me a PM and I will be in touch. TIA Ronnie PS- I had no Idea this would be so difficult.
Super User Jimzee Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 I'll do everything in my power to help you out Ronnie by asking everyone I know if they have a motor to use. 8-)
Super User Alpster Posted February 19, 2008 Super User Posted February 19, 2008 I'll do everything in my power to help you out Ronnie by asking everyone I know if they have a motor to use. 8-) Thanks Jimzee! I really appreciate it. Ronnie
Super User Long Mike Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 Ronnie, I've checked with all my resources and came up with nothing. Sorry I couldn't help.
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks everyone for looking, we really appreciate it. Ronnie, my name is Wayne LOL
Super User Alpster Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks everyone for looking, we really appreciate it. Ronnie, my name is Wayne LOL I am sorry Wayne, I had just got off the phone with a guy named Steve when I made that post and it's just the way my mind works. I do that all the time. My close friends have given up hearing their correct name from me. I always call my daughters by the other ones name first. Sucks to get old. Ronnie
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 I don't care what you call me, just don't call me "Late For Dinner!" :
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 . Its cool Ronnie, just bustin your chops a little RW, that is something I will never be late for (except maybe if the fish are biting) Muddy....right back at ya LOL
Super User Alpster Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 I am compelled to share this one with you guys. This is one for the Bass Resource record books. As you know Speedbead & I are trying to rent a little outboard motor to clamp on the transom of my boat to use on the Guntesville trip. After searching and calling for days and drawing a blank, Speedbead suggested we post on the Roadtrip thread and let the fellas know what we need to see if anyone can point us to a place where we can score little motor. As you can see, many guys are already beating the bushes to help us find what we need. No surprise there because you guys are awesome. I must tell you I wasn't prepared for the PM I received from "frogtog" while I was having my coffee this morning. Basically the message was "my 20' Skeeter is here for you to use if you can come by to pick it up". I about choked on my coffee. We are completely blown away by his amazing offer. Wayne and I talked about it and we are VERY RESPECTFULLY declining the offer. We would be so worried about something happening to that boat that we might not enjoy the fishing, if that's possible. But I have to tell you, in that one gesture, I learned a lot about frogtog. His offer to trust us with his fancy boat shows me his priorities are in order. He owns his toys, they don't own him. I am continuously amazed at how this community operates the way it does and Wayne & I are feeling pretty privileged to be a part of it right now. Absolutely unbelievable!!! THANKS frogtog!!! Ronnie
Super User Jimzee Posted February 20, 2008 Super User Posted February 20, 2008 That was a hell of a gesture but honestly, I'm not really surprised by his offer. He was a stand up guy in my book before, even more so now.
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 21, 2008 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 21, 2008 That just sent chills up my spine! Good ones! All I can say is WOW!!
Pond Hopper Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 That was a hell of a gesture but honestly, I'm not really surprised by his offer. He was a stand up guy in my book before, even more so now. Me either, the gift Jimmy got me on the Xmas exchange was way more than any guy could expect or ask for! Frogtog is a hell of a guy!
