Did she embrace you lovingly?

Be careful Curt.  I heard she pinches butts.

 

 

Good thing ya'll are going to be able to fish today.... Cause tomorrow will be completely different.

 

 

Im almost done loading up.  I don't know why I'm prerigging baits on rods.  I'm going to be changing before we hit the water. 

 

I'm about to head to the store and get the burgers.  Ya'll gonna have to settle for store bought cookies this time guys.  The wife worked last night, and is in bed right now.  And if she gets up in time, her first priority is a pan of biscuits for breakfast in the morning

Just from looking over the list of food.... I can think of a few things that we will/might need.

 

 

Condiments for sure.  Cheese for the burgers. Maybe a bag of chips or 2. 

I'm hopping over to the dollar store to get some high quality condiments today. I hope I remember to bring them.

Lol, I got some ketchup for our camping trip. Ill share if neef be

We made it, the bleach lady bleached my shirt and it's ruined!!!!

I hope the cold doesn't shut the fish down because I've caught 3 today!

By the way we can BBQ at the b&b it's got 4 grills and tons of seating out of the wind and the owners said it was oK.

Did she embrace you lovingly?

NO!!! It was a prison search.

NO!!! It was a prison search.

Better than a cavity search.

About the same, the good side is she has small little boney fingers but a fairly large fist :0

Woke up this morning to the box of cookies opened, further investigation revealed chocolate around my 9 year olds mouth. Guess he wanted a midnight snack. sorry boys

Scrogg, I need live updates throughout the day.  Stuck at work...

He pretty much gave you the play by play right there! 

We should've flown kites.

It was funday you missed one heck of a good time.

Good ppl, good food. (Notice nothing said about fishing) lol

That cold front really shut things down. But you cant really plan around the weather that far out.

Sizzle and Chris got some nice Saugeyes, I got a couple fish flipping a jig, which is a weak point for me. Curt and Pete was dethroned.

The Bleach Queen was a trip. I understand and commend her passion. But come on, shes been drinking the conspiracy koolaid about zebra mussels. In her eyes, everyone is trying to sneak them in her lake. So she turns into "The Musselnator".

Ill post a little report of my and Caelebs Melvern experience in the other thread.

Maybe the BR Spring Classic can be planned on 2the weekends, then choose the favorable one for fishing.

Thanks to all the Sponsors that donated some goodies to the cause. EVERYONE got a little something.

Yep thanks to all of the sponsors that donated prizes that was cool and I hope they know how much we appreciate them donating! And also thanks to the Gem Resort for letting us all hangout. If anyone needs a nice place to stay that place was great!

As long as we are thanking pepole I'd also like to thank the bleach lady for giving me bleach belly!

And I'd like to thank this funny looking 4.7# smallmouth for giving me back my Meggabass 110!

Mmmmm mmmmm good eatin right there. Lol

At least you got rewarded for throwing a jerkbait..... I didn't pick mine up all day. Van and I threw a jig and texas rigged tube all day and had six pounds to show for it. Tough day, and the boat problems made it exponentially worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

had a great time, thanks to the organizers and everyone who made this a reality!

imagine that i was next to the food table in this pic haha!

I wish I could say it was one of the tougher days of fishing I've had in a long time but after Truman last week, well it was really tough. Chris and I started by missing every bite we got. I missed a fish under the same dock on 3 different jigs, probably 4 or 5 times before I gave up on it. I had one blow up on a chatterbait when I tried to pull it over a log I cast over, lost about a 3lb largemouth at the boat, then when I finally got a fish in the boat it was a saugeye   Seriously don't think I caught a fish for the first hour and Chris only boated one but it was the smallest we had on our card at the end of the day at 2.05. If we hadn't gone to the small cove by the ramp it may have turned out differently. I missed a fish on a Netbait salt lick, then caught our only smallmouth of the day that was also our biggest fish of the day at 3.02lbs, off the point on the north side of the cove. About halfway back Chris caught a largemouth that was 2.88 I believe, it ate a jig right under the boat. I caught another largemouth that was something like 2.35 off the one laydown on the south side of that cove about halfway back. We had a 1.03 largemouth on our card almost all day and after about 2 hours of not even having a bite I thought it would still be on there at weigh in. We hit the cove by the ramp one last time and fished north towards the dam and we were going to quit after we fished the one dock on that flat. I skipped a SK Ocho under the dock and the line slowly tightened and I stuck the last fish of the day for us that was something like 2.51lbs. We fished very little of the west side of the lake, and didn't even have to weigh either of the 2 bass we caught the short time we were there.  Jon had the big fish of the day with a 4lb 9oz largemouth that he caught on a home made football jig out in front of the docks in deeper water.
