Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 19, 2008 Super User Posted March 19, 2008 OH YES, YOU ARE CORRECT IN THAT....
RiskKid. Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Glenn, I just called Patti to make sure they had my reservation. They did. She was able to look it up by my confirmation number. When I made it I didn't tie it in to Bass Resource so that is why I was not on her list. I asked her if I was missing out on a discount and she assured me the price was the same.

I've been trying to stay away from this thread; it's driving me crazy. No fishing for me this year. Except for my trip to Florida in January, it's been a long dry spell. Cabin fever has really gotten me down this year. The anticipation of this trip has, I believe, made it that much worse. And now, it's almost here. Got the rod tube packed. Got the reel case loaded. Got the tackle sorted, and packed in the bags. Got most of the kitchen supplies packed. Just have to buy some food, pack some clothes, load up the jeep, and hit the road first thing Sunday morning. I'm looking forward to meeting all you folks; whoever decides to show up. It's more than a little disapointing that so many signed on and then dropped off the radar. It's also a bummer that so many had to drop out, for whatever reasons. Looking forward to wetting a line with some of you too. The only down side I see is I'm only there until Thursday morning, and I won't be able to fish with everybody. There's always next year. Now, let's go catch some fish.
Super User Gatorbassman Posted March 20, 2008 Super User Posted March 20, 2008 Don't wait till you get there to start taking pictures. Keep a camera with you and take pictures to document your trip. That way we can put a sweet video together when it's over. Take picture of your stuff laid out and ready to go. Take pictures while you travel. Take video if you can. Use your imagination.
Super User Alpster Posted March 20, 2008 Super User Posted March 20, 2008 Way ahead of you, fluke. Me & Wayne will have some Road Trip video for you. Some Pics along the way also. Ronnie
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 20, 2008 Super User Posted March 20, 2008 LOL, are we there yet? I am sitting here looking at those new Shadalicious and they look like they need to get wet!!!
Guest muddy Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Wayne: Don't let Ronnie near the camera unles you want all heads or all feet
Super User Jimzee Posted March 21, 2008 Super User Posted March 21, 2008 1 Day To Go!! I can't hardly contain myself.
Super User Long Mike Posted March 21, 2008 Super User Posted March 21, 2008 Please guys, only one day to go. If someone would be kind enough to PM with the cell phone numbers of the attendees I would be very grateful. If nothing else, could I, at the very least, have the numbers of the mods and for Ghotti?
Super User Alpster Posted March 21, 2008 Super User Posted March 21, 2008 Mike, If I had the list I would send it to you, but I don't know what happened to it. Sorry! Ronnie
Super User Gatorbassman Posted March 21, 2008 Super User Posted March 21, 2008 Mike I will PM you mine.
RiskKid. Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Hey Fluke, Going up to KY to get my boat tomorrow.....they are putting on some new brake pads and rotors for me.
Super User Gatorbassman Posted March 21, 2008 Super User Posted March 21, 2008 How about a parachute in the rear like on a drag car.
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Poor Carl. You watch, after all this guff, he's probably been practicing with his new rig all year. He's gonna sweep in at 40, throw it sideways and gently drift into his slip, touching in like a feather... ;D SHOW 'EM CARL!!

Shadcranker Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Guys- one bit of safety advice on Big G: When running your boats, stay in the channel when on plane. The river channel is well marked, as are most of the major creeks like N Sauty, South Sauty, Big Spring, Siebold, etc. The old river channel comes up quickly, and most of the flats right off the channel edge come up to within 4 ft of the surface, and many of those flats are littered with scattered stumps, and shallow shell beds. Most of the map chips like navionics and fishing hot spots show the channels well too. Where people get in trouble is coming off the main river channel, and trying to head straight ito the mouth of the creeks or onto the main lake grass flats. In most cases the creek channels snake their way in. Good example is Mink Creek. Look on your map, and you'll see what I'm talking about. You have to enter the creek about one mile South of the Creek mouth on the West side of the river. If you try to run straight in to the creek mouth, you're going to have a hard time staying in deep enough water. Also, many of the main lake grass flats and bays on the East side of the river are way off of the river channel, so you need to find that 8-15ft ditch to run in, or better yet, just idle over. Just stay b/w the green and red bouys when running wide open, and you should be fine. If you venture on to the flats, just trim the motor up, and idle slowly, watching the depth finder. Good luck, and be safe.
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 21, 2008 Super User Posted March 21, 2008 Sounds like shorts weather!!!!!!!! JUST A REMINDER TO THOSE WHO MAY NEED IT.... Bring some type of waterproof clothing. I am sure, as Murphy's Law would dictate, that at some point you are going to need it!!! Wayne
Guest muddy Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 HEY WAYNE: Bring HEADPHONES !!!!!!!!!! Hint; once Ronnie starts singing in the Bass Bus; Put Head Phones on
