  • 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!

Can I get the beer that they don't want? :)

Nobody gets my free beer. Nobody. I've got a knife and I will cut ya. :cut:

I'm pretty sure there will be open seats for every day! At least I hope. Wasn't planning on bringing my little tinny!

I'll have an open seat(s) for the duration. Check with Long Mike. He usually coordinates these things.

bflow_6, there are almost always open seats. We make every effort to ensure that the non-boaters can fish with as many boaters as possible.

What is the typical water clarity/visibility on Guntersville?

Almost gin clear but a lot of rain lately so it been well stained you can always find as clear water as you want to fish in there is several coves without feeder creeks you find them you've found clear water

I'm trying to put together the last few details...

For those of you committed so far, are you arriving on Saturday and fishing Sunday? Or are you arriving only Sun and fishing for the first time on Monday? I won't be able to stay all week so I'm looking to maximize my time.

I am arriving saturady morning, hopefully can find a seat to fish, and leaving friday afternoon, or when we get back to the ramp!

I am arriving Saturday and leaving the following Friday.

Seats have never been an issue, but any non-boater planning

to fish Saturday or Sunday should make arrangements with a

boater before they arrive.

I am looking for a seat Saturday.

My eta will be approx 2pm on saturday. I'm hoping earlier but I'm being realistic.

Thanks for the update. I'll ask again before we leave.

OK! Well then I need a seat for that Satuday as well.....any offers?

I'm arriving on Friday, right around daybreak. and will have room for two other fishermen, as long as you are willing to pay attention and be careful. Two on the bow and one at the stern. I've got more than enough PFDs.

Had an incident last year fishing three on the boat at Kentucky Lake.

The fellow on the stern was stripping some line off the real to clear a backlash. The wind grabbed it a billowed it into the air just as the other fisherman was casting. His bait grabbed the billowing line and it pulled the other fellows hook right into the bone of his thumb. Went to a clinic and they took an xray and sent us to the ER at a nearby hospital. They didn't want to mess with a hook that was so deep. There was no blame. The caster made no mistake. But for the billowing line, nothing would have happened.

The guy who made the cast was a wreck. The fellow with the hook in his thumb is a trooper who took it all in stride and was back to fishing the next day. It was memorable, but a memory I do not want to see reenacted.

Sorry folks, can't help. It's a twelve hour drive for me and I can't leave home until Saturday AM. Sunday is reserved for Ghoti and Mary, because they can stay only a short few days. For the rest of the duration of the trip I can fish with two non-boaters. One day is reserved for Glenn and Keri. They will let me know what day. I had such a blast with those two last year that I insist on doing it again this year. I laughed so hard I thought my face was going to crack.

RW, PM sent.

Hey rhino, how about Kent and I fish with you that first Saturday? It will solve both of our problems and the only worry we will have is being in the same boat with RW!!! :laugh5:

Jeff

I'll know what days I have a seat available closer to the trip may have room depends on if dad fishes that weekend or not every since I got deviorced he's been going at least one weekend day

My plans are to arrive Saturday and leave Saturday. Like Fishing Rhino, my 18 footer gets a little crowded with three, but I am more than willing to accept another fisherman.

I'll do my best to keep you dry. :)

Last year Steezy took a roller over the side and soaked his left shoulder. It was cold that day but he never complained.

Long Mike, I hope to get you some commitments within a week.

It's obvious that you guys don't know that RW has a major problem with flatulence.

That's fine by me. We'll take turns at the controls. That'll take the pressure off me having to "guide".

  • Super User

OK well it looks like we will have no problems with seats for the first day.......other than RW's flatulence! :unsure: :unsure:

It will have to be just you two on Saturday, I'm babysitting Long Mike.

  • Super User

OK guys, I have a room reserved arriving on the 20th and departing on the 27th. Anyone wanting or needing to share a room for that period or any portion thereof, send me a p.m.

I know this is kinda late but, I think im coming the first w leeekend and I maybe coming as boater but not sure yet. Let me get things planned out but I may be able to drive someone down if needed im just leaving on Sunday. Also if there's a chance that someones got extra space in their room and doesn't mind another I don't mind spliting a room.
