jaskoh Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Since the LOZ trip isn't going to happen anymore I was just seeing if any boaters who needed a partner were interested. I am more than willing of splitting gas for the boat and the ride to the lake and back. Jason Quote
dink Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Okay guys, here's the latest. Jaskoh and possibly Illinoisbasser are going to need partners/boats to fish with/out of. So anyone with a boat and no partner who would like or need one, let us know on this thread. YET, there are rentals available at the lake. All that is needed in addition is a large cooler with a portable aerator (livewell). I will not allow stringers or baskets for the tourney. Maybe a couple nonboaters can get together on a rental and still fish. I will make sure any info on boaters without partners will be posted ASAP. As it stands now, cart7 and Valascus are definitely coming over from MO and CJ is possibly coming up from KY. The Illinois contingent is unknown since this is an open tourney. I got the word out to my old club at their meeting last night (50 - 60 members) and my favorite bait shop has posted a flyer for this tourney and has graciously donated some product making door prizes possible.

Valascus Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Oh...I'll be there alright....and the prediction for this battle...PAIN!! ;D Should be a fun day on the water. Can't wait for next weekend! Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 15, 2007 Super User Posted September 15, 2007 Is needemp going to this shootout? BTW, I'll be there tomorrow checking out the competition. ;D Quote
jaskoh Posted September 15, 2007 Author Posted September 15, 2007 I talked to needemp on weds and he said he doesn't think he is going to make it. How much is boat rental btw??? Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 15, 2007 Super User Posted September 15, 2007 Dunno, I forgot to check boat rental costs today. BTW, it was freezing this morning. Dink braved the cold wind, ran up lake and knocked em dead. I stayed down lake and caught nothing. Moved up the lake and finally caught some fish. Quote
Needemp Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Sorry guys, I am not going to make it to this one, but hopefully the Oct 6 tourney. It all depends if we pre-fish Shelbyville that weekend or not. Good luck guys. Quote
dink Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Fishing report: The fishies are eating at WashCo. Illinoisbasser and I ended up with 20 keepers with the six biggest a little over 20 lbs. Like cart7 said, we ran up north to the shallower water that was getting wind and threw spinnerbaits. Persistence paid off. The good news being the fish getting on a Fall feed for a day at least. The water temps around the lake ranged from 67 to 74 on the surface. Water was stained to murky with only 1-2 feet visibility. I-basser's biggie was just under 5 lbs. and mine was just under 6. Tourney update: For anyone interested in a rental boat and prices contact John @ 618.327.9311. My local bait store, Fairview Sports in Fairview Heights, has graciously donated some baits for this upcoming tourney. These will be given out as attendance prizes. Simonton's Bait Store there at the lake (John) wil also be providing some goodies for the tourney. I alsready stated in another thread that the weigh-in bags ARE provided and I have access to some small tubs for use as holding tanks if needed. As far as lake rules and other tourney rules, those will be covered before take-off Saturday morning. Quote
IllinoisBasser Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 As far as I know, Jaskoh and myself will be renting a boat. So count me in. CJ shot me a PM. He won't be making the trip. We should have a B.Resource members tourney on Kentucky Lake sometime. Early November? Quote
CJ Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 As far as I know, Jaskoh and myself will be renting a boat. So count me in. CJ shot me a PM. He won't be making the trip. We should have a B.Resource members tourney on Kentucky Lake sometime. Early November? I'm sure it could be arranged! 8-) Quote
IllinoisBasser Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Pick any weekend CJ, I'll drive down. It's less than a 3 hour trip for me. Quote
CJ Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 We'll put it in the works soon! Good Luck this weekend guys!Hope ya'll whack em'! Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 19, 2007 Super User Posted September 19, 2007 92 degrees this weekend. ugggh. Breakout the shorts and sandals again. I guess we'll see how this long hot trend effects the bass that were starting to get into a fall pattern. Quote
Valascus Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 I was thinking the same thing. I don't think the pattern that was in place on last Saturday is going to be the case this Saturday. The weather pattern has been pretty stable and on the warmer side for a full week by Saturday. Quote
jaskoh Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 I know this is a little off topic. Ive never been to Wash Co. Is there any fast food joints that will be open at around 5:30 or should I just count on eating protein bars all day. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 20, 2007 Super User Posted September 20, 2007 When you turn off I-64 there's a Micky D's. Pretty sure they're open at that time. There is also a hardees or Burger King in Nashville, also on the way to the lake. Not sure on their opening time. Quote
jaskoh Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 Thats perfect Cart, thank you. Nothing better than a fishing tournament to get you to eat unhealty Quote
IllinoisBasser Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Cart's right. There is a Mickey D's not too when you exit off of 64 and there is a Hardee's in the middle of Nashville. Quote
dink Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Simonton's Bait Store at the lake also has those delicious little Jimmy Dean sausage, egg and cheese biscuits as well as a selection of other sub-type sandwiches and burgers to choose from all of which are microwavable (yes, he's got a microwave too. Gatorades, sodas, chips, candy, snack cakes and jerky are some of the other things he sells there. He has good prices (lower than in town) and decent selection. He also started carrying bass fishing gear this year. A few of us "locals" got together to decide on the selection of baits for that lake. I am pushing his goods a bit, but he is co-sponsoring the tournies with Fairview Sports and myself. Oh yeah...he also has fishing licenses. dink Quote
dink Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 ******REMINDER******** For anyone who can't make this one, but was interested should mark October 6 on their calendar for the next one. I am also working on a rod giveaway for the Oct. 6 tourney. It will probably be a Wizard Dropshot or Vertical Jigging spinning rod ($140.00 value). Also there will be some more lures for attendance prizes as well. Quote
Needemp Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Man I wish I could be there this weekend. I would love to stick some of those Wash Co bass. I hope I can make the Oct 6 tourney. Good luck to all y'all (Whip 'em good Jaskoh ) Quote

Valascus Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 SO...who is ready for an administering of a good beating tomorrow? ANYONE?!? ANYONE!?! ;D Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 22, 2007 Super User Posted September 22, 2007 dink already sore lipped all those fish up the lake last week so they'll be in no mood to bite tomorrow. ;D Quote
