We've fished hard for 2 days in and near Carrice Creek.  Caught one 2.5 lb on a spinnerbait near the bank and one on a football jig.  That's all the news I have for you.  Crappie biting under docks in Carrice early and then they just shut off.  Looks like a tough week of weather ahead of us.  Wish I had more to report.  

As Bass_Fanatic said, everyone over the age of 18 is invited, with or without a boat, and with or without bass fishing experience.  Yes, the lake we fish changes from year-to-year.  Since the *** of the Road Trips, we have fished Lake Fork twice, Kentucky Lake twice, Pickwick Lake twice, Wilson Lake, and Guntersville Lake twice.  This is our first trip to Toledo Bend.

With great reluctance I must inform everyone that Road Warrior is going to have to miss his first Road Trip.  He has taken on a new job that begins March 1st.  Kent feels that his new employer would not be very understanding if he took a week of vacation 18 days after he was hired.  Go figure.  Regardless, I'm going to step into his shoes and host the annual hamburger cook-out.  The date and venue to be announced later.

Dog gone it Kent........we'll miss you!

Good luck in your new job buddy........save up that vacation time for next year!

If y'all scared...say ya scared!

LOL......I'm skeered of the stumps!

I ain't, if the lake is within 5' of full pool, but I keep my eyes wide open.

Well definitely hope I can be a part of it next year. Toledo bend just little far from indiana. Sounds like alot of fun and educational as well. Hope you guys and gals have a blast!!!

I will be with you all in spirit. Missing the RoadTrip is very disappointing,

but unavoidable this year. The Grand Opening is scheduled for May and

there is much work to be done getting ready for the event. I plan to see

you all next year..

Just remember -- not everyone will have the coin to drop on Stella's and Loomis

Well, I will actually have limited contact with customers, except friends of course.

My job is managing and motivating the staff, keeping the store in "showroom"

condition and dealing with problems. An immediate challenge is becoming more

familiar with in-store branded products.

Called F&F just now to make a res and they are booked up. Something about a couple tourneys that weekend. Drug my feet waiting for my schedule to firm up and shouldn't have. Looking for alternatives now.

Ok, was able to book a place for Sharon and I a mile or so away at Fox's lodge. Will arrive Thursday depart Sunday. See y'all soon!

Hey Bert, I love staying at Fox's.  David and Pam, the owners, are great folks.  If I hadn't of been planning on a large group function, I would have stayed there.  The accommodations are not exactly 4 star, but the sheets are clean, the roaches are kept at bay, and the HVAC works.  What more can a fisherman ask for?

Good to hear Mike!!

Hate to cancel, Long Mike, I was looking forward to fishing Toledo Bend--I never have fished it before.

I had major surgery a little over three weeks ago and although it went ok I am not able to make the 900+ mile drive so soon.

I will look forward to seeing the photos and hearing the "stories" about the big ones that got away at next year's road trip.

Mike, sorry to hear about the surgery, but it's good to hear that you are recovering well.  Hope to see you on the next Road Trip!

Glad your getting better Mike........see ya next time!

I hear water temps around 50 now with cool weather forecast the next 10 days. May not warm much before we get there.

When y'all get here the spawn should be in full swing!

Get well soon Mike.  RW ... sorry to hear you won't make it either ... 

15 Days! Gettin' closer every day!

Getting close!!!   I have a tournament down south this weekend, after that looks like I will be up there every weekend.  Trying to swing the long easter weekend too.
