Toledo is the easiest place Ive ever fished for bass but the bigger bass are harder to find...I predict 20+lbs is gonna be needed to win this thing...I hope I can make it but wont know til the week before

wooooohooooooo

Yak'em yu still up?

:funny:


That's just wrong there YAK'em... You gotta tell everyone the hot holes, not just Bob. lolol :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Bob, If you need more distance, I have a solar panal I can bring ya ... j/k... Hope ya got everything running right.

From reading the threads, it sounds like there are several camps right in the area. Who would have thought there were that many S/C members right there.

I'm on gangplank trail. At the corner at the top of the hill

are we going to make this life partnership official and fish this tournament together?

there is a good chance of that.

BOTB has first dibs with me if my dad fishes,

if either of them doesnt then your in

I'm off that weekend, I may be able to make it. I would need a partner and a place to crash. Never been bass fishing or to Toleo Bend so it'll be full of 1st's for me!

yak'em and I realized that is regionals for baseball so neither of us are going to make it

Man I wanted to go, but the family vacation is scheduled for the 5th-13th:(

bass fishing isn't the same as trout fishing
 

I fish tournaments all the time and most of the time there is always someone who doesn't catch any bass. Some days you can can cull 5x others you be lucky to catch 1 or 2. You might catch 20 bass and 5 of them might be legal size and then again that is unlikely! It's unpredictable!

I won't be making it. It is super regional weekend for NCAA baseball. Sorry guys.

Me and fool are staying in a mobile home with one of my buddies, may have some openings for 3 more if anyone is interested in splitting the cost, but we can cook there friday night unless someone has a better place or bigger place, may not be possible if the weather is bad also i dont know what kind of outdoor setup they have

Trailer
 

What trailer # is it?

My camper is way too small

dont exactly know the number didnt ask but I'll call back and post

jude you back in town yet? i started to call you for an afternoon fishing trip yesterday but ended up finishing up some dirt work at mother in laws while I had my grandpas tractor

Yes. I am home sick. Did not get to go on trip. Back to work tomorrow if nothing happens.

Tuner installed?

Nah but he has a poodle installed

Who needs a partner for the Toledo bend dogfight? I have the bass boat.

Me and Shawn going to win. Just warning yall

\
:funny::shaking:

Son i will come up there and rip some lunkers

hope shawn is the name of a big bass catching bait in your tackle box because all i catch on toledo is a buzz and some cats on my trot lines:smokin:

I can fish with you,dont have a partner yet.

put me on a spot, ill make it my #$@$# by pulling my 5 fish limit out of it

Right
 

Dude, this ain't river fishing. Best thing is it will probably be an April/May spawn, so carolina and crank bait bite should still be good. Hope the jig bite is on by then.

As of right now, I plan on going up on Thurdsay afternoon and maybe Wednesday.

if you make a friday afternoon trip through the weekend one day and need some drunken company give me a holler. I'm hoping this is the last weekend of house work then the rest is hired out...floor and paint

Absolutely, I'm in!

If not its gonna be...... Cause CatDaddy gonna turn dat on like dat.

Somebody already hit me up man.....

If they back out, you will be the first to know.... Sorry about that..

No problem, im sure my dad will fish. We are headed to the bend friday to do a lil fishin'

Bump. just so everybody books there rooms.

Does everyone have to blast off at big bass,or can we go elsewhere?

Good question, I would also like to know.

I will be staying at Pirates Cove that weekend.

I think we'll have a captains meeting/drink fest friday night just to pay up and sign in.

So we can launch anywhere saturday?
