Got back this AM (Weds) at 0015 hrs and tired as heck but, it is a good tired as I had the opportunity to meet and fish with a great group of folks who share the same appreciation for the sport as me and will spend countless hours in persuit of those green and brown critters!! have hours of video and stills to download and organize....if anyone is trying to get ahold of me via the phone list do not use that number it is the Emergency contact number....just IM me here or email scudman93@aol.com . to jump on with Rhino...AYE!! and will be planning to attend nexts years event!!!

Great Job!! ours is in Sept.!! always look forward to it!!!

Great looking fish!!!

Let no Casym deter you!!! ROADTRIP!!!!! ROADTRIP!!!! ROADTRIP!!!!!

Yesterday while taking a friend and his two kids to American Lake in Lakewood Wa. we were dropshotting for Smallies and caught 2 Smallies...one was 3 pounds...a Yellow Perch, a Red Eye Rock Bass and 5 Rainbow Trout and 4 of the Trout dressed out a 7-1/2 pounds!! all other fish were released. Great day to see some kids get their outdoors on!!

Phase two of packing will be Sunday as I get three boxes from 22 for Pickwick......planning on a trip to Bass Pro while in Nashville also. Gonna fish tommorrow and then pack 5 rods in the Frabill rod carrier for the flight. Man this is gonna be so good to be seeing everyone and just immersing myself in fishing for a whole week!!! 4 Days and counting!!

Bass Pro Shops will be opening a 170.000 square foot Outdoor World Store in Tacoma in 2014!!! http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/04/25/2572577/bass-pro-shops-plans-to-open-first.html

At the 2009 Roadtrip I had only caught one fish in Washington State prior to the roadtrip for 2009 and all fish combined caught about 100 for Kentucky Lake with boat trips and shore fishing so this will be a real boost for my morale this Spring after having zero's for my first tournament last weekend where I have'nt zero'd in 10 years!!!

Safe Travels Rhino!!!

I'm a Teamster so the Hot Air thing helps to get me there quicker!

Great foul weather trip and report!!!

I'm flying in from Seattle!! and its my 2nd Roadtrip!!! pretty reasonable for 6 days of fishing!!!

She came in at 5-11 and was not the biggest seen on Lake Sawyer today...water up to 55 degrees!!!! http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t79/larfshmn/miuuu_zpsba141473.png

All I know is this.....I need to fish..........I look forward to that first fish and dread that last fish......look forward to that first gathering on Wednesday and dread the farewell dinner......the days get longer, the anticipation stronger and we are closer to the best event of the year! Lets get this thing goin!!!

Love them Brownies!!!

And the legacy continues!! Nicely Done!!!

I was one Mike. And I use BPS 100MPH gear very very dry!!

I have a Go Pro, a Camcorder and of course Cell Phone for pics. No shortage of Popparrazzi here!!!

Congrats Christiana with 51 lbs and a 4th place finish!!! Looked excited up there on stage and still kept busy getting everyone to remember their weigh slips!!

First....do you do a journal?...if not, time to start...log the date, time of day weather conditions I believe the site has a sheet to download for this. Next start taking just one set up per trip....100 acres should be easily approachable with this....say a Senko......fished wacky and fished from weedlines, near docks, etc and log your results, alot of guys only log fish caught...concentrate on where, when bites occured as these are giving you "Bites"of information to improve on the next time.....next trip same thing and you will see patterns emerge as to feeding times of day, barimetric pressure variance, fishing pressure times.

Watched the weigh-in today You go Girl!!! http://www.bassmaster.com/tournaments/2013-bass-pro-shops-southern-open-2/leaderboard

We had a tournament there several years ago and we saw Smallies in 25 ft scouring the bottom for crayfish and when you threw a bitsy bug down to them they looked up at the boat....Knowing it was yours!!! we had to back off and make long casts and hope the wind would blow!!

Chelan can be tough from shore....there are some access points across the bay from Campbells resort that are rocky and hold some fish and also some of the marinas allow access but with gin clear water comes very spooky smart fish!! shakey head rigs lightly weighted and wacky rigged 4-5 inch green pumpkin Senkos can get them in as there are alot of schooled up pikeminnow fry at that time also a green pumpkin bitsy bug 1/8th ounce jig with a Zoom green pumpkin mini lizard trailer can be hopped around the rip rap.
