I 've made my reservations for the Fishing for Freedom project that the Leavenworth Bass Club and Long Shoal Marina sponsor every year.   I've done this event for 5 years now and every year I've had an interesting time - meeting and hanging out with folks that otherwise I probably wouldn't.   It is the weekend prior to Columbus Day.   4 out of the past 5 years weather has been ok to GREAT and the one year it was a little chilly it was still ok as long as you were geared up for it.   I know it is at Truman and some guys would rather fish other lakes than Truman, but hey - the owner of Long Shoal Marina on Truman is a co-sponsor of the event.   Truman can be a challenge to navigate, but it can be done, just don't be dumb.   The more boaters they sign up earlier the more soldiers they can commit to sponsoring.    Plus it is a great time of the year to take a weeks vacation.  Our forum was severely under- represented.   I'm thinking four months notice might help.  If you have the time available, it is an interesting/fun weekend.

To find out more - go to the Leavenworth Bass Club web site and then click on the appropriate stuff.

Sounds like a great time. I'd like to get in on it some time, despite how much I hate Truman. I'll be at Table Rock with my dad most of the week following that weekend so it wouldn't work for me but maybe the advanced notice will get a couple other guys down there for a worthy even.

 

Good to see the LBC is still doing well also. I fished with those guys for a couple season when I was still a teenager, had a lot of fun and learned a lot too.
