Super User Jimzee Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 I guess we'll be there around noon on Saturday. Take a couple hours to stretch and setup camp, then it's go time. BTW...1 day to go!!! Did you say you wanted a wake-up call around 3AM Sunday? Absolutely, I would feel left out if you didn't. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 OK, so let's make it 1AM just to be sure. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 OK, so let's make it 1AM just to be sure. Remember what I told you about the .357 ? Quote
Super User burleytog Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 The range on that gun is only a mile or so. I'll be a good 200 miles away at 1AM. Quote
ProCrafter Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 My flight gets in at 9:30 am on Sunday or so in Nashville....will be an afternoon thing for me after the rental car drive!...maybe a Jet-Lag nap too!!! Also have a Fish-In at American Lake on Saturday so will still be fishin here in Washington till the last minute as my flight does not leave Seattle till 10:45 PM. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted April 3, 2009 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted April 3, 2009 Hey Larry, why don't you post some pictures of you guys fishing at our home lake when it was snowing! Quote
mattm Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Ok.....I'm picking up on the sarcasm. It's not the snow that is making me back out. I'm not going to fish in unsafe winds or lightning, and it appears that is what is forcasted for 2 of the 4 days I'm was planning on being there. If the forcast plays out as predicted I would not take my son out on the boat in those conditions. Therefore, I feel it is irresponsible to chance it with or without him. If that makes me a girly man or less of a fisherman so be it. Quote
ProCrafter Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Will try Glenn but I am still doing something wrong when I try to post pics.....guess im still computarded.... Quote
ProCrafter Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 My boat in February. Here is last years April draw tournament.... Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 I wouldn't worry too much about it Brent and Matt. They are just jerking your chains. I don't think none of these guys would drive that far to fish for two days. No sense in having a case of the drag-*** the whole time you're there. With that said...see you girls when we get back. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 Seriously guys, I can understand where Brent and Matt are coming from. They are probably going to be the furthest driving boat haulers coming and the forecast I'm seeing this morning on TWC indicates this will probably the weekend of the last freeze in the KY area, at least it's gonna get cold and I'm sure there will be some thunderstorms and definitely strong winds involved. Having been on KY lake one time but that one time seeing 1 day with very strong winds with a southerly component, it was scary bad. Really, this is a great time of the year to be on the waters fishing for our favorite fish, it's also the most volatile as far as potential weather and how quickly it can change. With the distances their driving I'd probably be considering the same plan of action as them. That said, matt has been in contact with me and has been more than apologetic. He and Brent have agreed to make things right with me if I don't find a roomie for the week. My biggest regret is not getting to meet these 2 guys and spend the week fishing and fellowshiping with them. Anyway. I'm sure someone who's a third man out in a room and sleeping on the floor would love to have a bed for the week. PM me ASAP! Quote
Uncle Leo Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 i'm pretty bummed about the trip, but even more disappointed in this forum......i've been fishing in ice conditions most of my life. I lived in Eufaula, Ok. and there aren't too many places that freeze up like that one can. (LongM can back me up here) I don't fish in lightning, and i don't waste money. That's just how I roll. I'm a grown man (maybe overgrown), and nobody is going to try to make me do anything I don't wanna do. Seriously? Driving 36 hours roundtrip to possibly fish for 24 hours (if i pull 2 , 12 hour days) is not what i consider a vacation. b PEACE! Oh, and I had special surprises made for the Head Chefs as well as Alpster And Longmike. Feel free to email me *@suddenlink.net with your shipping info (MattM offered to pay to ship them to you. Thanks MattM.) Brent sorry we will miss you. Do not let them get to you. Here in the upper Midwest we fish in terrible weather. Put us on a lake with high skys , 95 degree temperature and 90% humidity like you guys fish in and we will whine. Quote
1inStripes Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 We've been out of the business for around five years. Can't say that I never tried smoking it straight out of the barn. My neighbor raises some ol burley to chew on all year. :-/ Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 I think there's enough water on the west side to keep me and Coldwaterbassin safe. I talked to CJ and he said we could just hook a tow rope up to him and go where he goes. ;D ;D Quote

Thanks MattM.) I think everyone was just razzing you. By the way does Oklahoma get as nasty as Chicago in the winter. Had to get that in. I don't think I'd go that far if I thought the weather was going to s**k either. If the weather stinks, I'll just see the local sights. By the way, are there any? Being from up here, cold and rain are a fact of life. I can't stand heavy winds though. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 Well now, here's a little history: Back before weather forecasts and the internet, the Tennessee Volunteers WALKED down to Texas to save your sorry azzes. This is one of them you might have heard of: http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/treasures/republic/alamo/crockett-01.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Revolution We're going to miss you guys... Quote
IdahoLunkerHunter Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Brent and Matt, I was just being sarcastic in my previous post. It is going to be a bummer you two can't make it because I was really looking foward to meeting both of ya. Hope all is well and take care. There is always next year! Quote
Triton21 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 D@mn Brent, there went my tungsten. JK. Sorry I am not going to get to see you again. Kelley Quote

You preach it brother! Really, Brent and MattM are great members here. Brent goes above and beyond to serve his customers here on BR. We'll miss you guys. :'( Quote
1inStripes Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Thats alright, it just gives Brent time to ship my order and take my money........ that is if my paypal ever wants to cooperate with his site. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 I must have misread something. Sounds like he left Tennessee more than he went to save TX. b (and i'm not sure if you knew this......... but everyone died at the Alamo, so he might wanna practice 'saving azzes') b Ouch. Brent, you are a great advertiser here. You will be missed but EVERYONE understands if you and matt cant make it. Its not a big deal. Like Ronnie says, "Keep on keeping on" Quote
Btech Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Guys to add to the problems - My boat is not working right - Is there anyone going who knows how to adjust throttle and shift cables on a Electric start 20 HP mercury ??? I have checked all the marinas i could but they are all out by 2 weeks - Id be mor than willing to pay you. Please PM me if you can - As this is my deciding factor to bring hte boat or not. Quote
Uncle Leo Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 BTech, did you try the Marina at Kenlake? I have done this type of adjustment on a motorcycle and may be able to help you work through it. I talked to a co-worker who has an older 20HP Merc that syas it is pretty simple. Maybe we can work through it. Quote
