Is that where the launch is

Is that where the launch is

Yes that's where we are launching from on this trip.  If you are referring to the Road Trip, I suggest you start with the first post on this thread for more information.

Forgot to mention that we will be staying at Fox's lodge on Housen Bay on the Texas side.  If you will be in the neighborhood let me know via PM.  Cell phones don't work very well in that area, but at least we can try.

 

 

I'll PM you when I'm out there but for this weekend and the Road Trip, when it comes to fishing licenses are you good with a Texas or do you need a LA license? For the guys travelling from neither state what do they need by way of licensing?

Texas or Louisiana license is acceptable but what ever side you launch on you follow that states laws.

Thank you Catt

How's the fishing Mike?

Bert, my trip was a disaster.  First day out I spun the hub on my prop.  Second day out my trolling motor went south.  Because there was no chance I could get the TM repaired on a week-end, I folded my tent and came home.  My cajun cronies are catch and eat guys.  Before I hit the road, the three of them had put nine keepers in the  boat.  I got a text today, telling me that as of lunch time they had put seven more in the boat, not counting a 7 1/2 pounder that was released.  Our rule is that any bass that is five pounds or greater gets released.  The lake is unusual this year because it stayed at such a high level for so long that it killed a LOT of grass.  Most bass are being caught in the remaining grass in 3 to 6 feet of water.

d**n the luck Mike! Glad you have time to fix the boat before the road trip . Hopefully that grass is staging a comeback as we speak.

Bert, FYI, my buddies have returned from the trip.  In five days with three of them fishing from one boat,  they put 37 bass over 14" into the boat.  At least 20 of them were over 3 pounds.  They released two over 5 pounds and the 7+ I mentioned above.  I wish I could have been there, but instead I spent $240 having my TM repaired and $100 having my prop re-hubbed.  I think they had a little more fun than I did.

For you folks planning on making the Kentucky Lake trip, I received an email today from Moors stating that room deposits are required no later than November 1.  It was my understanding that the cabin/rooms I blocked would remain so until 30 days prior to our arrival.  I have asked for clarification, but I just wanted to give you folks a heads-up.

 

EDIT:  I received an email from Moors today stating that deposits MUST be made by November 1, or the rooms I have blocked will be released.  I know this is short notice, but Moors is such a popular place that they dictate there own terms.  They are already taking reservations for 2019.  When making your reservation, be sure to mention that you are with the Bass Resource group.

What's the deal with boaters?  My friends been wanting to go on a trip to KY but I dont know if I can get the boat down there. He's a rookie but I've fished it a ton. Wouldn't even have to leave moors to catch fish.

tbone, I'm not sure what your questions is, but BassinChris and I are towing our boats from Tulsa.  It's a nine-hour drive for us.  Moors has great launch facilities and covered slips for rent plus there is plenty of truck/boat parking available.  As for non-boaters, there should be plenty of empty seats available.

Pretty much answered my question. Don't know if I will have the boat if someone is using it for a tournament. 

Don't forget y'all........gotta pay the deposit by November 1st to ensure your reservation is held for Kentucky Lake.

Who all IS gonna make the trip(s)?

I'm in for Kentucky and trying to arrange for Toledo Bend.

That's a very timely post Chris, especially for the Kentucky Lake trip.  Ghoti will once again be hosting his Wine and Cheese Soiree. It's a great meet and greet occasion.  Ghoti needs a fairly accurate head count in order to plan his menu and to know how much to spend at the liquor store.  As for Toledo Bend, I need a head count also.

My wife and I are gonna try and make the Toledo trip so out me down for two.

Put*

I have 2 beds available at the Kentucky Lake road trip......anyone interested in sharing a cabin?

Let me know.

ONLY 1 bed left.

Let me know.

I wonder who took that other one. 

 

Pretty likely I'll make both. Sharon is a maybe for TB.

I heard that the greater Fin and Feather area are stockpiling taters!

Just a friendly reminder.....reservations for Kentucky lake have to be paid by November 1st.

C'mon y' all.....it'll be a great time!

Just got off the phone....reservation deposit paid for cottage and boat slip.

 

WooHoo!

Heads up guys.  Moors Resort told me this evening that no reservations have been made by Bass Resource members.  Be sure to mention that you are with the Bass Resource group when you make your reservations.  You have only a few days to do it or the rooms/cabins I have blocked will be released.  The same thing applies to Toledo Bend.  Tell them you are with Bass Resource.
