Annual BR Fishing Trip

[Guest avid]

Don't sweat it guys. We have learned what we needed to. The list is not final. We were just trying to see how many of our great members were willing to share a boat seat and so on. Thanks alot for your willingness to help out.

Well know, just whooooooooooooom  might I be sharing that seat with eh?

two big butts make for one crowded seat.

I hadn't thought of it that way....   I wonder if Marcia Rubin can make it?

you might wanna rephrase that

You wouldn't mind sharing a seat with Reelady??  

[stansdwarf8]

Just how big a seat will you require Mr Avid?  We will see if I have one in your size.

[midnight_madness]

Bet Avid would not mind sharing a seat with Angelina Jolie ;D

No offense intended dude.  but in my experience women don't respond well to this line  8-)

My Man Stan - back from wherever.

You know I ain't particular,   give me a 5 gallon bucket to set on and I'm good to go.

How you doin' ole buddy.

I got a  little shoulder issue at the moment.

[frogtog]

Well guys I hate to break the news to you, but the trip has already started

without us. It seems that a few of the backstabbers packed up and went to

California for the BR trip. I got this from the highest authority. Man you can't trust anybody these days. ;D

[Guest avid]

The good news is that these little side trips an ad hoc get together's is just one more thing that makes BassResource.com THE BEST BASS SITE bar none.

I'm an E-4 Infantryman (11B1O) in the Army. Primary job is rifleman, but I also work as a Bradley Gunner, M240B Machine Gunner, Breachman (aka door kicker), and occasionally a driver...though I REALLY hate driving. I'm behind on my promotions because of an injury last tour. My lungs are burnt up from a chemical fire in the bradley while I was driving. That's the main reason I hate driving. Nothing like being in the middle of an inferno. Because of that injury, I have a rough time running now...thus making it hard for me to get promoted. The Army loves their runners > Doesn't matter much though. I've got 3 great kids, a beautiful wife, and one heck of a tacklebox. What more could a man want? Oh yeah...I'm getting a dog too.

well texan i for one am dang proud of you and how you served with the best you were able to give that in itself you can keep with pride and dignity. I'd say you certianly deserve a fishing trip if your ever in alabama let me know i'll see what i can do to put you on the bass just so i can say i fished with a bona fide hero which in my eyes would be down right awsome. so if your ever up to it lets go

Have you been in a Bass Pro Shop lately? The place is full of young guys with their girlfriends. It looks like a pretty hot date place to me.

Most of the ladies, though, seem to have the same look on their face as I do when SWMBO drags me to Bed, Bath and Beyond.

REMEMBER.........there are a few rare females around that would much rather go to BPS than to BBY! Now, we have our priorities in line

[Glenn]

My wife is one of them!  She spends more at BPS and I do!  

[RoLo]

My wife is one of them! She spends more at BPS and I do!

That describes my wife as well.

Whenever I place a tackle order, I always order the same amount for my wife.

Then a few days later, the UPS truck honks and I'm signing for something else that Lois ordered from BPS.

Hey, but how can you beat that, on the one hand I've got a genuinely enthused fishing partner,

and on the other hand, I can continue my extravagant spending habits without feelings of guilt

The smartest thing Johnny Morris ever did was add an entire floor of womans clothing to the World headquarters store in Springfield.

Sheer genius.

Thanx Mattm

I haven't been on the forum for a while, so I'm not in tune with the goings on.

From all appearances, the lake for the Annual BR Trip has not yet been decided. If that isn't true, please disregard this message.

On the other hand, if you're still in the market for a lake, I have a couple suggestions, for better or for worse.

Assuming that it's still in the decision phase, it might be a good idea to begin by voting on the region of the country.

For example, it would probably be most democratic for members to choose a lake at the hub of membership density.

That can quickly be divulged by an open poll that casts a vote as to "region", e.g. Northeast, Pacific Coast, etc.

For numbers of trophy-bass, the best season of the year is typically the late pre-spawn, which varies of course

depending on geographic latitude (but not that much). The late pre-spawn is a very brief period, but fortunately

all bass don't spawn at once, so the overlap in spawning stages usually buys us a pre-spawn period that lasts about a month.

On the downside, if you nail the pre-spawn period it generally means water temperature in the high 50s, maybe low 60s.

The prespawn is characterized by a little slower fishing, a little snottier wind and yes, a few cold fronts (argghh).

I believe that all those things should be common knowledge in advance of any outing. Anyway, listed below according to region

is a rough draft of America's top bass waters and the month that tends to center on the respective pre-spawn season:

NORTHEAST REGION

Lake Champlain, VT or NY MAY      587 miles of shoreline large & smallmouth bass

St Lawrence River (1,000 Islands)       MAY      Bass season opens late in month, mandatory C&R till then

SOUTHEAST REGION

Santee Cooper Lake Marion, SC       APRIL      Held former 4-day BASS stringer record (lasted only one year)

Guntersville Lake, AL                              APRIL      Lying twixt Huntsville & Birmingham, G lake is highly-pressured

Lake Varner GA                               MARCH      Electric motors only

FLORIDA

Lake Tohopekaliga, FL                   MARCH      Activity better in April

Lake Istokpoga, FL                               MARCH      Water level should be up (had lots of rain)

Stick Marsh, FL                                     No accommodations on lake To & fro podunk

PACIFIC COAST

California Delta                                     MARCH      S of Sacramento, twixt Stockton & Antioch

Clear Lake, CA                                     L MAR/E APR Holds current B.A.S.S. 4-day record

We were at a restaurant one evening and a lady at the next table was telling about how her husband had taken her quail hunting on their first date.  SWMBO told her about the time I took her to beagle hound field trial.  She married me anyway.

Yep Roger, you have definitely been off the forums for a while.

#1 - Wherever we go it's happening in March.

#2 - The "demcoratic debate was settled very early on.------ The debate is that there is no debate.

#3 - the mods will let us know when they finish "hashing"

#4- - I don't think it will be much longer.

[Guest the_muddy_man]

All I know, no matter where the trip any fella getting to fish and talk with LONG MIKE is in for a good trip

[Long Mike]

Muddy, are you trying to ruin my reputation? I'm supposed to be a grizzled old fart. You keep talking like that and you will have people thinking I'm a nice guy.

Bah! Humbug!
