Here's what I propose as triton and my team name: PoleTheHoneyHole

My wife makes pretty good potato salad. Put me down for that and I will bring some brats to.

Perfect, I'll put you down and now have officially heard from everyone that I have down and it sounds like everyone is still in for this Saturday!

This was probably decided long ago - where are we meeting again? The marina?

The east ramp in Eisenhower State Park. It's pretty protected from the wind and some of the guys have the year pass for the state parks so at least all of us won't have to pay to launch. Plus there's some pretty good fishing close to the ramp for anyone that doesn't want to make the cold run in the morning.

MMM. The cold.

Man... Saturday can't get here fast enough!!!!!

I checked the weather again today... mostly sunny high of 73* with a SSW wind at 11mph.

Sounds good, thanks! It'll be fairly easy to figure out who's who since I don't think many folks will be piling up on that ramp at that hour of the morning. Looks like the weather will behave with just SSW 11 mph winds. This will be fun no matter what the end result is.

Where are the best areas to concentrate on? We have never been to Melvern before and would like to actually catch some fish.

Anyone staying at melvern saturday night and going out sunday too? I'm considering it..

If you just wanna make sure you catch some saturday fish the dam and you shouldn't be let down. They'll likely hit traps, cranks, buzzbaits in the morning and pick plastics up off of 8-10ft all day. There is a good amount of rock out there everywhere, but seems to me i remember some pebble/sand in the coves too

Thank you! I just found out that my father in law isn't going to be able to make it so I will be a one man show.

I will have an empty back seat in the Ranger if there are any last minute non-boaters or if there are any no shows. As long as they don't mind fishing a lake that I have never seen before!!

I may need help loading and unloading the boat if someone is willing to help. I am NOT good at this part at all. Once it is in the water I know what to do. :-)

I'll help if you need it.

I'll help if you need it.

Thanks!! I normally just back the trailer in and have only tried to load it back up a few times. I get it on there but it takes me a few times and is a little embarassing!!!

I'm sure we can find someone to help. Shouldn't be too hard to unload and load it.

Where is the self pay box located? Close to the boat ramp? I dont want to miss it in the dark

as u turn off the main road there is like a pay booth stand but u pay to the right of it u wont miss it promise but it is before the boat ramp

Thanks!! 2 more days.... Looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great day of fishing

And so the forecast finally begins to solidify.

8mph winds out of the south.

Clear skies.

70 degree high. Low 40's around launch.

Looks like it could be a tough bite. I smell ned rigs.

I got some Ned rigs ready to go. Really hoping they want to chase down a crankbait or a spinnerbait though!!!

I'm sure the whites will

Just a heads up. I do not think I will be able to stay for dinner. I would love to hang out, but I have a puppy at home that will be in her kennel all day and I think my wife (and maybe my dog) will kill me if I stay any longer than I have to.

I'm sure the whites will

I am good with that.. I would love to stay busy all day.

Do you think they would bit a 3" or 5" grub? I have some Kalin grubs that I thought I would try along with the Ned rig.

The whites wouldn't leave my silver grub with metallic flake alone last weekend.

Alright, I'll put you down and you'll be paired up with CCC Drew. He'll have some good spots he can point you guys towards after fishing with me last week, including one of my "secret" up the lake spots if he can remember exactly where it's at, maybe I should have blindfolded him

Yeah, you guys were one of my main concerns about starting that early but I'm banking on the fish making it worth you guys getting up that early. I'll put you down for some bags of chips.
