I got an extra one Speedbead. I'll make sure I bring it.

CJ

Awesome, thanks CJ.

Dang, that didnt take long  LOL

i'm right there with speedbead, i don't have a pfd of my own, so if someone could loan me one that'd be great.

Don't worry about it, all boaters have extras and I'll bring one for you anyhow.

I already had Speedbead covered, so if CJ don't mind your using his, it's all good. I have extras still, if needed.

ALSO... 14 guys have already paid up for the Wednesday night dinner. Good Job! Keep those cards and letters comming!

excellent, thanks guys!

I regretfully announce that I will not be attending the Guntersville trip; I wanted to attend this trip even more than Fork for many reasons. First was to meet everyone listed at Ronnie's web site, second I have a nephew in Birmingham whom I've never fished with, & thirdly I have a friend who like all of y'all I have known only through the internet and really wanted to meet him for a day on the lake. I take this as a huge disappointment in my fishing career but I would like for y'all to send a PM to a member Logan the friend I mentioned asking him to attend.

Dang Catt. I hope everything work's out all right for you. It must be something serious to keep you away. Whatever it is, we know you can handle it.

You're one of the guys I hoped to wet a line with. See you somewhere down the road. Just don't take too long. We ain't gettin' any younger, ya know?

Cheers,

GK

I was looking forward to meeting you, Catt.

I hope to see you next time.

This stinks. People are droping like flies. Catt I was looking forward to chewing the fat with you. I guess I will have to find a way to get to T-Bend.

Was very much looking forward to meeting you.  Dangit!

Ok y'all trying to make a grown man cry  :'(

BIG disappointment for me too! I hope all goes well for you Catt.

Ronnie

Ok y'all trying to make a grown man cry :'(

If we make you cry, will you show up?  j/k

Take care of whatever it is needs taken care of.  There is always time to fish.

BTW, 17 days!!!!!!

Next Sunday the 16th I will go to Harrisburg to hand off the meatballs to Speedbead. This way he and Ronnie do not have to go out of their way to pick them up on the way to Bama. I am making the meatballs and I will supply the cans of tomatoes and paste with my recipie to make the sauce. Ronnie is more than capable as a cook and he gets the recipie. If I can't be there at least I can still cook for you ENJOY!!!!!!!

You da MAN!

Thank you.   ;D ;D

Notice how I deftly swindled Muddy out of that recipe.   You are 'DA MAN' Dominick!

I got the bassbuss out of the shop today and she's tuned up and purring like a kitten. Almost had 3 wrecks coming home, the bassbuss kept trying to head for the interstate, had to wrestle her back to the house, just 16 more days.

ANOTHER REMINDER TO GET PAID UP FOR THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT DINNER.  8-)

If you are signed up for the trip and did not get a PM from me, let me know and I will send you instructions on how to send a check or use PAYPAL.  ARE WE THERE YET???

Ronnie

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Dom for the meatballs. I am crazy about Italian food, thanks a lot buddy!!

Reality hit me today about the trip. I made an appointment for next Thursday to get a new impellar installed at my local marina. There is nothing wrong with the one in there, it's just been in there going on five years and I don't want anything ruining this trip. The week after that, it's go time. I can't believe how fast it snuck up on me. I don't think I've ever been this excited to go on a fishing trip.

WOO HOO!!! Two weeks to go. I am leaving Saturday the 22nd at 6 am. 517 miles and 9.5 hours of driving. I can't wait!!!

i can't remember the last time i've been this excited about ANYTHING. maybe when i was a little hellion waiting for christmas morning. i've been counting the days for a couple weeks now. i think me and flukemaster might be some of the first ones there, my flight lands in atlanta around 9:30 on the 23rd and gene said we should be in guntersville around noon or a little after. SWEEEEET....

And on the water by 1:30.  

Went to Big G today-TOUGH!

Only caugh one fish in 6 hrs- solid 3 lb fish on a deep CB in 8 ft on a grass edge. Had two other bites. One tap on a tube and another swipe at the CB.

Water was 46 when we launched and 51 when we left.

Calm blue bird skies and extremely high pressure. We had 5" of snow in our area Friday night and Sat, so I'm sure the front hurt em, but it was brutal for me today.

Good news- weather calling for lows in 40's- low 50's and high around 70 much of the week. The water should be up to 60 by next weekend, and if it holds we should have big waves of fish moving up for our trip.

I doubt many fish are going to spawn on the March full moon around the 21st. Maybe some will be on bed upriver. I think we'll be on a pre-spawn pattern for sure, with lots of fish up shallow looking.

Found lots of good green grass and fish all over the graph. Fish just had lock-jaw today.

Still a nice day to be out on the water.

SC

Well, I am glad you didnt hook all of them!!!!  Look at it this way, thats more for us to catch in two weeks  LOL

I am just looking forward to water that isnt white....

and solid!!!!!!

Message for Senko77..............

It seems that Speedbead is afraid that you might catch a bass bigger than you are. So, in the interest of fattening you up a little bit, he has covered the cost of your Wednesday night dinner. Way to go Wayne!

I am right proud to be riding with this posse!! 8-)

Ronnie

Well I waited as long as possible and I am sorry to say that I will not be able to attend the road trip this year. I tried my best to get it to work out but it just wouldn't happen. :-[ Yall be sure to take lots of pictures and send me some of Muddy's meatballs.
