Hound_dog Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Might just see if I can swing some time off the rig for this. Oil field changes too much to be able to plan this far in advance though. Got it on my calendar though. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted December 31, 2011 Super User Posted December 31, 2011 I may go just to watch you man 172 dutch ovens at once Dutch oven? Isn't that a fart under a blanket? Headed down to "G" in March and I can't afford 2 trips. Maybe next year. 1 Quote
BassinSoldier Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hoping I can make it, depending on the work schedule. I missed not bein there last year, its always a blast! Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 2, 2012 Super User Posted January 2, 2012 How 'bout the sarge? Quote
scrutch Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Just got final approval from my wife. I'm in! Filling out the registration form right now! Today is a great day. Quote
BassinSoldier Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Hey Tom, not too sure bout Bryan. He's stationed up in Washington state now so I doubt he'll be makin the trip. I really hope my work schedule will allow me to make it up there. I'd really like to fish guntersville with all of ya'll. Quote
FishinTN Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Is their any planned events or just fishing everyday? I haven't made one yet, but hope to make this one. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 8, 2012 Super User Posted January 8, 2012 FishinTN the only "planned" events will be in the evenings. At this point, the only planned event is a Wednesday evening group dinner. Most of us will get together in the early evenings to sip a few suds, brag, and tell lies. During the day we will all go our separate, merry ways. This is NOT a tournament. It's just a bunch of guys getting together from all over the U.S. at one of the best bass lakes in the country. I can say from experience that a good time is always had by all. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 15, 2012 Super User Posted January 15, 2012 One of these years I plan to make it out and join you boys for this trip. Can't make any promises this far in advance but this may be the year. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 15, 2012 Super User Posted January 15, 2012 Great! Guntersville in late April can be THE BOMB! Quote

KevO Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Well since I just bought a boat and its only about a 2.5 hr drive I think I might just make the trip! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 17, 2012 Super User Posted January 17, 2012 Great to hear that you guys are planning on making the trip! I'm very much looking forward to putting names with faces. Don't forget guys, I need your Registration forms. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 18, 2012 Super User Posted January 18, 2012 Props for Guntersville: http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/where/reservoirs/quality/ Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 How many people are signed up at this time? Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 18, 2012 Super User Posted January 18, 2012 According to the report RW posted, if we all fish 10 hours a day for 7 days. Every other person should catch a 5+ lber!!!!! Jeff Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 How many people are signed up at this time? That's the problem. We have been getting a lot of promises, but no real action. To date, we have only nine confirmed attendees. I REALLY need those Registration forms folks. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 That's the problem. We have been getting a lot of promises, but no real action. To date, we have only nine confirmed attendees. I REALLY need those Registration forms folks. I'm afraid you can take me off the list of possible attendees. While you good people will be fishing in AL, I will be getting ready for the openning weekend of trout/walleye season. By the time the road trip announced, I had already needed to make reservations for that trip. The very best I could do now would be to leave on a Saturday only to head back home on Wednesday morning. I just can't see driving for 27 hours so that I could fish for 24. Perhaps next year's trip will fit into my schedule. An earlier announcement would help. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 Has anybody made reservations yet? I've been trying to call the number in Glenn's first post, and all I get is a fast busy signal, and their website is still down. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 I have made reservations. They are remodeling the place now! Jeff Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 Does that mean they aren't taking reservations until the remodel is complete? Maybe I'm gunshy but here's an experience from last summer. My wife and I had reservations booked at either an Econo Lodge or Days Inn in Kentucky. We were going to the NASCAR races at the speedway. The motel was at the next westbound exit about 14 miles from the speedway. We had confirmed reservations, and confirmation e mails. When we got there, we could not find the motel. We started asking around and finally found out the place had been closed for a couple of months. Apparently the owner had some tax problems and the place had been shut down. This was a national chain, and we had booked it on the chain's website. No notification. No nothing. Even calls to the chain produced no info. Our next thought was that someone had scammed us via our credit card. A call to the credit card company showed nothing amiss. I don't know what is going on at Val Monte, but the non-answering of a phone, even by a recorded message has me wondering. I reported their website had been disabled in a post on Dec. 8. Glenn called and they told him they were revising their website and had taken it down temporarily. That was six weeks ago, and it's still down. Glenn said their facebook page was still active. I don't do facebook. One way or another, I'm still going to be there. This is one weird way of doing business on their part. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 I called to make reservations some time earlier this month. I reached a person on the first call, whom took all of my info, including the bass rescource code for locked in rates, and took my cc for a hold. She said they would not charge anything to my card until the week before and would call to tell me how much the hold would be then. Does seem like something could be going on, but the lady was very nice and very helpful. She was the one who told me they are completely remodeling the place and assured me it would be up and ready by our trip! Jeff Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 I've sent an e mail to them. Got the contact info from here. http://guntersvilleresort.com/index.htm Apparently they have two websites. The odd thing is the one above tells you to contact their other website for more information. I also tried the two toll free phone numbers above and got the same fast busy signal. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 hmmmmm....maybe we can get Glenn or Long Mike to check in on them for us! Jeff Quote
