2012 Roadtrip! Be There!

[roadwarrior]

I'm still open on Wednesday if anyone has room.

[Siebert Outdoors]

Hey folks -

Due to the VERY generous offers from WMD in Kentucky and Long Mike, Keri and I not only have a boat, but can now offer a "backseat" for Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. Anyone looking for a ride those days, let me know!

Oh and if you're concerned about fishing 3 in a boat, don't worry. Not only are these boats big enough to hold 3, but Keri is a former WBT and current LBAA pro. You'll be fishing with one of the best in the country!

Thats awesome!

I fished with Glenn and Keri last year. We had a great time on Lake Barkley!

[Glenn]

We still have an open seat available for Sunday and Monday. First come, first served!

[Long Mike]

Scorcher, I have a seat in my boat open on Monday. It's yours if you want it.

I'll take Sunday if it's still open

I'm still open on Wednesday if anyone has room.

Interested in a threesome with me and riskkid on Wednesday?

P.S.S.

Anybody have a map of gville showing the depths and contours and what not?

I have a set of Navionics for Lake G-ville, North, Central, & South. What part of the lake are you interested in?

I also have quite a few USGS e-maps of the south end, they're from 1936 showing the proposed lake; there are no contour lines, but they do show old roadbeds, rail lines, bridges, feeder streams, & original river channel. Then there are maps of the same areas showing more recent updates. The e-maps were free to download so I can pass them on for free too. I have 34 total of the e-maps, but I can boil that down to 14 useful sets, two each for seven sectors covering the south end; it would be faster to sneaker-net them at the hotel rather than emailing 14 maps if you can wait. With what I see on the USGS and Navionics maps, unless my co-anglers feel otherwise, I see no reason to leave the south end; so I could sell off the Navionics Central and North maps.

I have room for two on Wed. Let me know and I'll pencil it in.

Okay, you are penciled in. First come, first served.

Alright sounds good Mike!

Well i was just looking for one to look at before I got there, do a little research. Do you know if there are any contour maps I could get online for free or even pay for?

I'm still wide open on Tuesday, and Friday. Sunday may be open as well, but not sure yet.

Somehow that just don't sound right.....

[Fishing Rhino]

Okay, that fills me up for Wednesday. I nearly forgot Simp. Don't ask me how. He's not easy to forget. I'm about worn out getting everything together for a midnight blast off in about 29 hours.

Still have one seat for Tuesday. Nothing booked for Friday, so it's wide open for two, if need be.

Several have asked where the Saturday night wing-ding will be. I would prefer to have this inside. With an open food bar, I'd just as soon avoid the indigenous insect population, if possible. I will attempt to work out a deal with the Hampton. So far, sixteen people are on the list to attend.

If I can get an inside space for a reasonable cost, we will be inside. I'll make them an offer they can't refuse, and if they refuse it I will set up at the picnic area, weather permitting.

I plan to arrive late afternoon Saturday. If Long Mike gets me a phone list, I'll call everybody on my list to let you know where I will be.

See you all soon.

I'm sorry I didn't check with you first, riskkid 2, but RW is really old and he is depressed because miranda lambert hasn't called him. I figured a day on the lake with us would either cure or kill him.

If you need a horse's head, I can probably work something out. I'll bring it with me if need be. I'll have to get a much bigger cooler to keep it well iced and fresh. I'll tell the check in associates that I'm leaving the cooler, and its contents, for you, and ask them to take care of it for safe keeping.

No need to check with me about fishing with RW, I look forward to that......it's the threesome term that troubles me

You can try USGS @ http://www.usgs.gov/ and search on Guntersville Lake, AL, or just Guntersville, AL. I'd be more than happy to email you the historical maps I have.

I have searched for Topo Maps and Free Topo Maps using Bing; USGS is the best so far; beware of some of the sites - they're not what they advertise.

GOOD NEWS

Just got a call from Goose Bay Marina saying my boat is repaired and ready for pickup. Harolly Coombs and his technicians started on the boat within minutes of me parking it. I was shocked when I got the call

We (me, I) can relax, all the schedules are good.

[Long Mike]

Ghoti, I'll email you a list of attendees tomorrow. It will be an excel spreadsheet.

[Scorcher214]

Hey rhino, how about you and me tuesday? Outta fish at least one day with my roomie eh?

[00 mod]

Alright Eric! Glad to see you got everything worked out and hope it didn't cost you an arm AND a leg!

Jeff

[Glenn]

I'll take Sunday if it's still open

Ok - you're in!

[Long Mike]

I would like to welcome ick (what an ickey handle) as the latest member of the trip! He's arriving Saturday AND he is bringing his boat! It looks like everyone will be OK for boat seats for the duration. He's looking for a roomie from Wednesday until...
