Guys, I really hate to do this...I've been dreading saying this, and putting it off and putting it off...
I'm not going to be able to go on this trip. We've got several trips to see family and friends this year, so my vacation days are running a little short. We're also hoping to move maybe this fall, so there's a lot that needs doing around here to get ready for that.
I really wish I could swing this trip, I've been looking forward to it ever since we got home from Kentucky Lake last year. I especially feel bad for you, Mark. You've put in a lot of work to make sure this is a great trip for everybody, including getting Stephen Headrick to come do a seminar. This is going to be great for all of you that can attend. I'm just sorry I can't

Adam, Bryce, Ron and Friends..

Well, after seeing the way things are working out, I'm going to call Star Point Resort and ask for a refund of my deposit. Deposit are refundable if made within 30 days of rental.

So at this point....is it just Ron, Adam, and myself? I'm bringing a friend, but sheesh....I just can't believe this thing has dwindled away to 4 people.

Do we have an updated headcount, or is it really 4 people?

Its just a real shame. I thought I should say Woody, man you have done an incredible job. We just all knew that the economy has been rough, and with some of the other aspects of life, family, newborns, ect, it seems to just be a bad time. Perhaps yall should just postpone it until right before school starts back, or something?

Billy, thanks for the compliment, I really do appreciate it.



Sorry it didn't work out for everybody this time. I agree it was a case of bad timing. I also gonna have to step down as the 2010 Get-Together Host.

I hated I had to drop out. But I am hoping some of y'all might come up with a fall get together. I would offer up some suggestions, but I doubt many would want to travel to south MS.

That's really too bad, guys. Sounds like a lot of work went into setting it up, but looked like it was coming together beautifully.
Certainly looks like a great spot for a future get together

It's okay....I am sort of torn on this one.

I can't decide what to do when I catch that 8lb Smallie.

Mum's the word, so as not to make anyone sick?

Or post extra big pictures of it, so as to make people who cancelled sick?

hmmm......



Just playing, guys. I'm mostly going to miss the company. I just already booked the room and set up the vacation time, so it would be a problem for me to not go at this point.

I'd start by actually catching that 8lb smallie at the Bryce and Ron and Adam 2010 get together.

Next year is a must.

To Ron and Adam...

If you guys should be able to somehow see this before you leave Dale Hollow totally beaten, sorry Mark and I were unable (unwilling) to hang around long enough to see you.

To say Dale was a bust would be a bit of an understatement.

As many of you know, Tennessee just experienced some of the worst rain on record. The western part of the state is a complete wreck, and while the eastern portion did not suffer as much damage to roads and what not, the lake was a complete JUNKPILE.

When we arrived on Monday morning, the lake was 8 feet above summer pool, and covered in logs, leaves, plastic soda bottles, and pretty much every other type of debris you can imagine. The "gin clear" water was muddy and green. As a result, fishing was pretty much a futile effort on our part. I had pretty much memorized all of the things to look for; i.e., look for weeds near red clay of black shale banks...yada, yada, yada, but it was all for naught.

Problem was...there were no banks...the whole lake is nothing but submerged timber, so to a guy who has no experience with the lake, it all looks just about the same. I even made a run down the lake to the dam, and it was all even worse the farther down we went. So even trolling was out of the question. You couldn't keep a lure in the water longer than a minute or two before you'd see a mass of sticks and leaves creep down your downrigger line on the sonar, and then invariably a couple minutes later, the lure would snap free, and you'd have a bunch of muck to clear.

Long story short, those who skipped Dale made a lucky choice. I fished 3 days in 90 degree, bluebird skies, with nothing more than 3 bites to show for it (oh yeah, and an awesome semi-sunburn). I even did some night fishing, but to no avail. I tried just about every fishing technique I know...again no luck. It got to be just too depressing, so I came home.

It was still fun to see a new lake though. In the mornings and evenings, when it wasn't so blasted hot, it was really pretty (if you kind of squinted so you wouldn't see the water). Watching the huge Gar cruise around the boat was pretty cool. I plan on going back next Spring when it's back to normal.

Again, sorry, Ron and Adam...I hope you have better luck than I did.

That's quite a kick in the teeth Bryce. I understand what a disappointment it is having a blowout on a trip that has been planned for months. My sympathies also to the guys who worked so hard to set up the get together. I've participated in seveal of those deals from a group on another fishing board, and they are a whale of a good time. I was at one on the Potomac a couple weeks ago - it was a blast - and am already looking forward to next year. Next month we are having another on the Northern Chesapeake - can't wait for that one either. You guys have one that doesn't require a 12 hour drive I would consider that. Or maybe I could ride along with Kevin - he's not too far away from me. LOL. I mean this with the best of intentions: BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR!

Man Bryce, that really sucks.

I guess it's a good thing that it wasn't a big event like KY Lake last year.

Heck Bryce, it was tough all over the place here too. Sure sorry to hear about your trip man, that had to blow. Although Ceder Creek was muddy and the water very high (the link I sent ya), we still caught them. Should of stopped by.

Back on April 12th pulled out one over 22" and over 7lbs LM bass, heck she had even sponded already. (Releashed her) The wife caught a large blue cat (22" 13lb) when we were crappie fishing on a darn 3" red worn from Gulp. lol
