  • Things I learned   1.       “We don’t get many of Y’all down here!” is how I was greeted at Bass Pro (Shreveport) when I bought my license.  That sentiment repeated itself over and over again down h

Ok folks, here is an updated list of confirmed attendees.  If you have not PM'd me with your information you are not on the list.

 

Road Warrior

Long Mike

Catt

Bighead and wife

Dinky

BassinChris

Bass_Fanatic

 

Most of us still have seats available in our boats, so if you are a non-boater, do not let that stop you.  Provided you are eighteen or over, or if under eighteen accompanied by a guardian, everyone is invited.

 

I remember this first Road Trip I attended.  It was the second road trip, and was held at Lake Fork, TX.  After a long hiatus, I had just gotten back into bass fishing, and was a newbie on these forums. With trepidation, I asked if I was allowed to attend.  I was welcomed with open arms, and I must say that I had a ball.  I haven't missed a trip since then, and that was eight years ago.  Come on down! Lassiez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

I should be there, unless my work schedule changes.  Look forward to meeting everyone.

Now I got some help guiding y'all but then again I owe Wesley a trip!

No problem Catt, we'll just follow Ya'll.  Maybe I'll catch something that way.

 

Just sent a message to confirm.  Will only be able to get there Friday-Sunday but let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

My concern is not with anyone's ability to locate & catch bass on this lake at that time of the year.

My concern is timing/weather!

Pre-spawn/Spawn fishing on this lake is either on or it aint!

Y'all better keep the trolling motor batteries hot & the tank full of gas. We might be running & gunning or staying in one place.

Wesley has every bit of experence that I have plus he lives on the lake. Together with others who fish the lake maybe we can help with "aint" days.

Man if I hadn't just started a new job and was still in my probationary period I would so be in on this trip!!! Hope you guys have fun!

Hey Wes who you fishing with? If you want another stick in the boat let me know. I think you have my number or at least have me on facebook, as long as I don't have any prior tournaments ill be glad to go out with you guys.

26 hour drive straight through, 1661 miles one way. Honestly, if I had more vacation time, I would do it. I drove to Kentucky Lake one year, that was about 20 hours straight through (obviously I didnt drive that alone), whats another 6 hours? LOL One day I will make it to one of these!

COCKED-LOCKED-READY TO ROCK ;)

Well I was planning on attending this event but one of my work projects got pushed back and our Go-Live for the system will be around the date of this event. I had not posted earlier because the pending date for the project was still up in the air.  :-/

 

This is a major bummer because I was really looking forward to going to Texas for the first time, doing some Bass Fishing and meeting some of the great and helpful people on this forum. I'll have to wait till the next one.
