Got a couple of other PM's tonight. Seems like most people want to head out on Friday. April 15th, hope you have your taxes done. I know I'm ready to go vent my frustration for the IRS on a few fish.

Lox Road ramp work for everybody? I'm going to make the assumption that everybody wants to get out at first light to avoid some of the heat in the afternoon.

Tenative List:

Boaters:

Bassn Blvd (Doug)

South FLA (Robert)

Salmicropterus

Bocabasser (Bruce)

Piscicidal (Mike)

Capt. Shane (Shane)

GLADES (Kevin)

Non-Boaters:

SouthFlaBassAddict (Eric)

Catching (Dan) - Riding with Capt. Shane

Not Commited:

SoFL-native (Dale) - I'm unsure if he's going to ride with somebody or pass on the trip

shallow thinker (Jack) - Don't know if he's riding with somebody or bringing a boat

Shoot me a PM if I've completely screwed up your plans or if you're already riding with somebody else.

Eric, something came up. I can go Wednesday but Thursday / Friday are out for me. Have a surgery on Thursday. I dont want to upset the whole plan, but if Wednesday works for everybody then I can make it.

i believe i can get friday off. monday through thursday of next week is rough for me because it is fcat week. i am almost certain i can take friday off.

Dale, don't be a couch potato on the day of the get together. You know you've got a spot in my boat. You can even fish on the front deck.

Doug.

Appreciate that. No couch here. I will be at work. I am out on this trip. Have fun guys.

For the record and since everybody else's name is up, I'm a "Dave". I'd be happy to have a non-boater come along

I've never been to lox. what are the directions to ramp, coming from plantation

It is located north of Parkland, 7 miles west of 441/SR7 at the west end of the Hillsboro canal and Lox Rd.

Oh that sucks, Mike. I hope it's nothing serious.

Looks like the guys over at JD's Custom baits will be pouring some stuff to hand out to everybody Friday morning as well. Anybody interested in doing a big fish pot again this year?

Next Friday. The 15th.

cool im in.

I'll be there, headed to Lake Okeechobee this Saturday or Sunday. Dale if you are in shoot me a P.M.

Mike, hope all is fine with you and your family.

Dan from JD's Custom Baits sent me a picture of a 30" bass caught today at Lox on one of his baits. Estimated at 10#'s.

Wish I could join you guys but I'm leaving town next Friday. Make sure to post some pics and good luck

You guy's have fun! I'm headed to Lake O tomorrow to wear out the 11 year old on schoolies (So he has fun on something besides video games), then see if I can upgrade my personal best for something I can post on the "State vs State" thread. I've caught bass, had fun with dinks, but would love to catch a biggun.

We'll be up at the north end in a Red Stratos.

Then we'll catch some panfish for a fish fry, with sweetcorn bread,cheese grits, and turnip greens.

Post it up Shane, let's see that Frog Assassin!

Bud R.

i just got a couple of bags of those frogs at the 4th round qualifier of the kotg series. never tried them, but after those pics, i will certainly be giving them a go.

They're not bad, Bruce. They've got no salt in them so they're very durable. They don't really sink much. Once it hits the water and you start cranking, it's up on top kicking. It's also a little bigger than the normal frog like a horny toad or a cane toad.

I got a text a little while ago from Dan from JD's baits who brought up an interesting point. Lox could well be closed next week with some of the government shutdowns. They're closing national parks and whatnot. If that is true and does happen, anybody have an alternative place? Holiday Park, Ida, Osborne, etc etc?

I'll do a search to see if I can find a phone number of who to call to get some information.

Osborne is best in the evening, I don't know but it just is.

Lake Clarke is good whenever.

I don't fish Ida enough to know.

If we can't fish Lox, than I am most likely out.

I'am 20 miles deep in the Big Cypress national Park untill monday morning. I hope they don't lock me in.
