Randall Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have always wanted to make one of these. This looks like my chance since it is close. I can't be there the whole time but think I will try to get over there for one day or something. Would be nice to meet many of you in person.

Simp Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hasn't Alabama had enough tornadoes? I feel sorry for the good southern folk of the area. For we are the sign of the coming apocalypse. Winds will howl snow will fall and floods will wash out the crops. Now if these things don't come to pass we must check our roster of attendees and ban who didn't make it this year for he is the responsable party. I'm looking at you long Mike!

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted December 1, 2011 Super User Share Posted December 1, 2011 What Long Mike said goes for me. I'll be there if at all possible. "bout time.

scrutch Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'll probably be there as long as the warden lets me out again this year. I've been good, so she should (I hope). I'll probably be looking for someone to jump in my truck and share the expenses too. (Lund Explorer, Otey, Uncle Leo, or anyone else interested that doesn't have a peanut sized bladder may apply). It's about 10 hours from my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Gatorbassman Posted December 1, 2011 Super User Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm going to be there if I don't have any guiding jobs. I can't afford to make reservations and then cancel them so I'll need to find a campground close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigMe Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I am going to try to make it to this event, how’s the fishing arragement made? For someone who doesn’t own a Bass boat, do we just pair up with someone or rent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Long Mike Posted December 1, 2011 Super User Share Posted December 1, 2011 I am going to try to make it to this event, how’s the fishing arragement made? For someone who doesn’t own a Bass boat, do we just pair up with someone or rent? Lee, historically we have always had more empty boat seats than butts to put in them. Don't worry about not having a boat. We try to move the non-boaters around so that they have a chance to fish with as many people as possible. Among other things, we use the Registration form to determine who has seats available and who needs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighed Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Wow, I could hit the Stroker rally at Nickajack and then an hour away be with the BR crew on Guntersville. Awesome!!! I'll make this one if at all possible!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Long Mike Posted December 2, 2011 Super User Share Posted December 2, 2011 12 hour drive, plus hotel, plus food... We shall see how my income fares. I'm retired. It's a twelve hour drive, plus round-trip fuel for my Suburban, plus fuel for the boat, plus hotel, plus food, plus the booze, plus the dancing girls. I will take out a second-mortgage on my house before I have to miss this trip. The annual BR trip Rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a few boxes of wine will make much of a dent in your savings but the heart medicine for when the dancing girls arrive will be the killer for you old friend.

Super User Lund Explorer Posted December 2, 2011 Super User Share Posted December 2, 2011 Got a few scheduling conflicts to work out, but I'm going to try. As far as cost goes, does anybody want to match what it would cost me to leave the War Dept home this year? The old girl doesn't have many vacation days left for her year(Sep - Aug) which is going to be issue #1. On top of that, you guys already know she outfished me last year hawg wise, so you can try to match the ration of **** I'll get for leaving her at home!

Global Moderator roadwarrior Posted December 2, 2011 Global Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2011 Try to bring a friend or hook up with another member in your area so you can split some costs. Overall, four or five days of fishing shouldn't be more than $600-$700 or so. Shared lodging $50/day X 5 = $250 Alabama fishing license $46 Food $20 X 5 $100 Gas (?) $100 Minimum cost ~$500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted December 2, 2011 Super User Share Posted December 2, 2011 Poor Long Mike, crying poverty. He's got an alarm system on his boat that makes Fort Knox green with ***. Heck, it probably cost more than it would to replace his "tin can". Alas, love has no price tag. Nothing is too good for his "baby". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
