How are we all gonna fit!  ;D

I'll stay out of this thread, since I'm out, but it's obvious you and Dan are going to have to share a seat and sit on each others lap.

I'm drooling thinking of topwater bass in January, but I'm back at VT now.  Have fun guys, post up some pics.  Don't rub it in too hard though, I might start crying

You're quite the dreamer aren't you? 

gonna end up catching each other and a treble hook to the lip with that many people 

4 people is a big crowd for one bassboat. Im sure one of you at least can fit in somewhere else . I would hate to hear about someone catchin a hook in the eye

With my luck that would be me...I've gotten other peoples lures wayyyyy too close to my face for comfort on many occasions..

I agree but I don't want to leave anyone out. Dan and Thai are good guys and I want to make sure they can both take part.

Can we start making a boater/non boater list so we can see who all is coming and who still needs a seat.

Copy Paste and and add your name or boat if Steve verifies you're eligible for our trip, no reason why not but it polite to run it by him first.

Aaron you can just add this as the update in the original post

Steve do you mind if Matt brings his boat too? he fished the first nova tourney with us. He's a good guy.

I got no problem with any good folks bringin their boats or coming as co-anglers. Just as long as you run it by me so I know. I wont turn anyone away unless its someone that doesnt know how to behave.

I have to decide how we are gonna meet up and at what time. The lake house involves several back roads and turns so it wouldnt the a bad idea to caravan.

Maybe we could all meet up somewhere like the shopping center right of the route 234 exit in dumfries. Theres a shoppers food warehouse, target, panera, etc..Its easy to find and maybe a mile from the highway. We could do it early in the morning that way we can fish the morning bite. Altho the fish should be biting thruout the day.

Or we could just go the night before. I have 6 beds down there and a sectional sofa that could sleep 2 people easy. Its probably a 3500 square foot log cabin, plenty of room. Me and tammy would sleep in the master bedroom which would leave room for 7 people to sleep there.  Knowing how obsessed with fishing Thai is, he would probably sleep on the deck of someones boat just to get that extra edge goin

It will take about an hour and 15 minutes to get there from that shopping center. Takes a lil less time when you arent towing a boat but lets be safe and go maybe 75mph tops. Its all 65mph speed limit most of the way down too. We would need to meet at like 6:30 am or so in order to have everyones boat in the water by 8 am. If we do it this way then naturally I will lead the way. The exit we take is the Thornburg exit.

any more boaters/ co anglers to add?

Aaron, do you think Matt and Ace would have enough room for me? I am hoping to be able to go on the trip.

as of right now next sunday is supposed to be 41 and sunny on lake anna

his boat is full. sorry man. thai may have an answer. text him.

I just texted you, thats a negatory on the boat..

we'll figure something out though, no Dan left behind!

we'll figure something out so no worries. I would hate for Dan , Marc and Cmatthews to all be left out. I would say even if Marc's trollin motor isnt ready he should come anyways and just use an anchor. I plan on using my anchor thruout the day no doubt. When I checked the weather I think it said mid 40's which would be great. Of course its way too soon to know what the weather will really be. Keepin my fingers crossed.

6 more days until our second NoVa tourney!!!

Are we going to keep the same rules as before?

6 fish limit

12 inch minimum

What time is everyone meeting?

Ready to show these amateurs how it's really done Aaron?  ;D

I expect to have my motor fixed in time, the parts shipped on Friday from Motorguide so hopefully they arrive at the shop by the middle of this week and can be installed soon. If not I will anchor around unless there is a ton of wind.

Since I have never set foot on the warm side of Anna and I don't have a contour map of that side will anyone be willing to share some spots with me?

x2 never fished there before!

I really dont want fish in ppl's livewells for this one. Lets just take pics of the fish on the ruler, biggest fish wins, simple as that. Or if everyone has a scale on the boat we can do it that way. No need to stress these fish out . Anyone catches a decent striper I say we grill it that night. Somehow my ford expedition fixed itself today and is runnin fine. Im gonna drive it alot these next few days to make sure its all good. I should be good to go. Hopefully my shimano core will get here in time so I can test it out.

no one here has a contour map?
