You have a rain suit right?

Jeff

I have two.

I'll guarantee it won't be anything near like we fished in at Pickwick two years ago. Steezy and I fished in the monsoon that shut down Nashville, and parts of I-40. Big O had two bilge pumps running in his boat and the water in the cockpit was above his ankles.

  • Dutch oven? Isn't that a fart under a blanket? Headed down to "G" in March and I can't afford 2 trips. Maybe next year.

    Hi, I just wanted to share with you an update regarding the Val Monte Resort, which you have targeted for your 2012 Roadtrip to Lake Guntersville. I drove around the resort and marina yesterday afte

  • Good thing you weren't there for the first year. A few guys thought it was the "Sore, eh?", which had a completely different outcome!

Chris at Tech, if you still haven't got a ride for Monday, you can fish with Scorcher214 and me.

Thanks -- I'll keep this in mind. Fishing Rhino let me know I can probably fish with he and RW on Mon, so I'm planning to call tomorrow to see if that still works.

Got a rain suit or two. Don't have a lightning suit.

Yeah, but you will have 7' a lightning rod in your hand!

Big-O had fish swimming around in his boat that day. Some of us, deciding that excretion being the bitter part of valor, remained ashore.

We got "soaked" as well.

Pickwick, now that was an event. Torrential rain. Lightening all around. One of us, who has an aluminum boat, categorically refused to take his boat off the trailer, much to the dismay of his fishing partner. Kent will never forgive me for that. ;)

Well everyone make sure to bring your rain suits, and extra beverages in case some want to stay on land! :P

Tom is on the road, but that works for me.

He confirmed with me last night via PM before he hit the road. It's the 3 of us on Monday!

Surfing the net for lure recommendations that are working RIGHT NOW:

Spinnerbaits seem to be the talk.

The Rig, of course.

Soft plastics shallow, especially shakey heads.

Square biils and lipless cranks.

LOL Kent. I'm doing the same thing.

Most locations seem to be new grass too or shad spawn locations. Usually grass also in that lake from what I'm learning.

Just fished a tourny there, water was very clear 3-4 feet visibility in some areas, key in on new growth

I've seeing spinnerbaits, swimjigs, swimbaits, shallow cranks, jigs and plastics in 4-8 FOW as the hot patterns.

Hey RoadTripees!

I'm pleased to announce that reigning Bassmaster Classic Champion Chris Lane will be joining us at the Lake Guntersville RoadTrip!

Chris is known on the B.A.S.S. tour for his topwater style. He's been fishing professionally since 2000, and travels all over the United States competing in B.A.S.S. Elite Series events and B.A.S.S. opens as well as various other tournaments. In 2011 alone, Chris had three top 12 finishes in the BASSMaster Elite Series and finished 12th overall for the season, earning a ticket to the BassMaster Classic in Shreveport, LA in 2012. He also ranked 6th in the BASSMaster Southern Open.

Chris won the Bassmaster Classic earlier this year, and just placed 2nd in the Power Pole Slam Elite Series event on Lake Okeechobee.

Chris will be joining us for a meet-n-greet and giving a presentation during Wednesday night's banquet.

If you haven't signed up for the RoadTrip, you still have a few days left! Please see the RoadTrip thread for details. I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

PS> RW didn't you get the memo....."The RIG" has been banned from all Bass Resource events! :laugh5:

I hope not i was going to show you how to use it Thursday

  • Super User

Just me and you! No one else is allowed to use it! By the way, I still have not caught a thing on it, but I don't give it much of a shot either.

Jeff

We'll fix that i promise to show you two top secret tactics

PS> RW didn't you get the memo....."The RIG" has been banned from all Bass Resource events! :laugh5:

Agreed! :laugh5:

I'm bringing the one I have. Someone will have to show me how to fish it or rig it.

It's like throwing a chandeleir out in the water, watch the big splash and tow it in....keep doing it til your arm eventually falls off :roflmao1:

Sounds like fun.

On a serious note I will have a couple rods for sale if anyone is interested. On is a Browning rod and one is a GLX MBR 843. If your interested hit me up down on the lake.

I would love to come down one day and fish. I can not afford to take off work more than one day. I only live about 2.5 hrs away and I have never fished guntersville. Any seat openings still available? Would only be able to stay and fish one day.

Hope the weather and the bass are cooperative for you all next week on Guntersville!! Fish well!
