The East side boys are set with a reservation for a campsite at the Lake Fork marina for the week. Thanks for the heads-up Russ. The Alpster RV is FULL. NJBASS fisherman & two mooks in a boat (Muddyman & Ron) will be my traveling companions. I will be contacting you guys with a full itenerary and all the details that I have so we can firm up plans. SORRY to the guys who have contacted me about the ride share. I hope you all can find a way to make the trip anyway. See you in Texas.

Ronnie

Just spoke with Rick from Ricky's rentals.  

7 bass boats in stock.

3   16 ft   40 hp

4   17 ft   40 hp

same price, the 17's have larger fuel capacity and an added bow depth finder.

Do they have other boats if those 7 or gone by the time I get there?  Does anyone already have a boat reserved who needs a fishing partner?  I don't have the  means to reserve a boat, but will have the monies at the lake.

You just give a credit card number and that HOLDS it for you.  You don't pay for it until after you use it.

I haven't seen the official Spring schedule yet. If spring break happens at the right time, I'll be there. If not, I'd have to turn in a death certificate to get that many days off in the middle of a semester. Got my fingers crossed.

Cheers,

Rickeys is the only boat rental I have used.    He will allow you to get trailer if you have the ball or will launch it anywhere you want.

The other offer the same style of boats, but I can't say what they will do for you, you need to call.

matt.

Ronnie, you are a mile or so away by highway from LBH and Fisherman's Cove.

Thank you Matt,  I have to look into that.  

KU- I think he actually takes a deposit now but you don't have to pay the whole thing up front.

The Bass Bus rolls out of New Jersey and onward to the shores of FORK!!

This trip couldn't roll out any better and this is only day 2!!  There are members who havn't even seen this thread yet!!

Hey Muddy, I'll bring you a Yankee Fishin Cap to wear in Texas

This is gonna be one for the ages......great fishin and fellowship...can't ask for more

OK Deal Ill get you a Mets cap and we can both wear REDSOX BOXERS in hoinor of NORM nboucher ;D ;D Im glad you are going RiskKid itll be good to meet you Is the lake close to any ballparks maybe we can catch some spring training action while we are down there.

 I HOPE AVID COMES anyone contact him  I will PM him And what about Raul??

IM AMPED 2 mooks in a boat will be representing the Dink Master Squad!!!!!!!!

Sounds good Muddy, I always looked good in a Mets cap, lookin forward to meeting you. I can do without the Red Sox Boxers though.

No baseball this trip...... too many fish to catch and lies to tell ;D ;D ;D

While you guys are on Fork, your caps won't matter, you'll blend in nicely with the other 500 northerners that are here for the same reason.

To get away from the north weather, and perhaps set a new personal best with a sharelunker and free replica as a added bonus.

Matt

Hey Matt I more likely to take dink of the week prize

Is anyone bringing wife/girl friend?   I am retired and fish most anywhere I wish, but my wife loves fishing and she goes most anywhere I go  

Muddy, if the Mets with it all, I'll wear my Red Sox World Series hat and you can wear your Mets World Series hat. . . . Those Tigers are going to be hard to beat, man.

Okay, I'm trying to piece together a plan here, but I've got some rookie questions, mostly so I can budget for this:

1. Should I just book a room and get a plane ticket and show up with gear, or do we all need guides & boats? If we need guides and boats is there a rational way to share the load? My impression so far is that everyone is just scrambling. Am I missing an underlying plan/organization? I'm happy to help out with this, if you need me, Russ. My impression is that some guys are coming down together and will likely fish together, but for those of us who are coming down "unattached," should we organize some kind of teamwork?

2. My boat is a kayak, so when it comes to bass boats and engines I don't know squat. I'd like to hook up with a more experienced boater (and fisherman, for that matter). Should I just start begging?

3. Where do we fly into?

4. Any special permits/licenses needed?

Yes, there was at least one couple at last year's event. Plus, we have a couple of female members that might show up with their men in tow. Women are welcome and will be shown the highest level of respect, I can assure you.

C'mon over, you will not be disappointed.

Hey Norm Id PM LBH with all that this is my first time doing something like this When I lived in New Orleans gotr to fish Kissime and Rayburn but they were relatively close and fellow musicans had family at both places I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve Thank God the ex is outta the picture to quote Tom Waits

NEVER HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION TO GO FISHIN ;D

Guys

I just found this thread. I have always wanted to fish Lake Fork. I am going to call some buddies and see if we can make it. Would love to meet some BR members and have a chance at a 10 lb plus HAWG! If anyone has lodging info and wants to pm me I will try to call tomorrow and reserve a room if I can get some buddies to go along. Calling them right now.

Fishermans cove marina is the 1st place we will fill.  5 rooms left so far.  We are renting the whole place.

Ask for Linda, tell her you are from BassResource

They also have RV (and tent?) sites for those needing a site instead of a room.

where does it leave NJ from?

Nboucher

3. Where do we fly into?

4. Any special permits/licenses needed?

You should most likely fly into DFW. Love Field is another option. Both are in Dallas approx 80 or so miles from Lake Fork.

You will need a non resident fishing license. Other then that you will be good to go.
