Got a good idea bama. I left one in the truck one time, and the heat fried it! Best keep it hung on the wall next to the door with yer keys!

[woody]

You'll get another BIG ATTABOY from me too, Anthony!

This is for John and Lisa and whoever decides on Hosting the first two meals. If okay with all of you, I could bring along some of my BBQ Baked Beans.

This just goes to show, the amount of support that the Host's will have towards their preparations. It doesn't have to be anything fancy either you know. I'm thinking that hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill would be a great idea that someone could do. I have this feeling that once someone "steps-up", you will start to hear from others that would be willing to lend a hand.

So if the days are on 6,7,8...Do we check in on the 5th?
I suck at vacationing.....Im still working on coming..Im going to ask this to be my birthday present from the lady of the house.haha
Plus my 6th year with the company just past and I think I get extended vacation time now.
I still probably wont be able to come,but Im going to try..If I do,Ill be camping (the whole eagle scout thing,plus I have more camping gear than REI)
Food wise? What should I expect on that?

[zooker]

i am plannin on hitting the place mid day to early after noon thursday..

YOU HEARIN THIS STICK???

zooker

[woody]

I believe most of us are gonna be arriving sometime that Thursday, but there might be some that are gonna get a head start and arrive a day or two earlier, it's up to you. It's like they say, it's whatever you can afford.

As far as food, we are still working on the details of our nightly meals together. In the years past we all kind of did our own thing for Breakfast and Lunch, since most of us were gonna be out on the Hollow first thing in the morning and fishin' most of the day.

[zooker]

bubba told me tonight he's in-if work picks up..

oh man stick,bubba,me, and jb.. thats a whole lot of trouble in one confind space..


zooker

[BigBassin144]

IF we come, we'll be there thursday afternoon. and probably looking to bum a ride on someone's boat. I know this won't be a problem unless the number of non-boaters drastically increases.

Food wise, pretty much everybody chips in something. bring something to share.

Woody, definately bring some baked beans. I hardly had any last time. As for the thursday night meal, I definately think it should be at the lodge, or if we have enough campers, a crampground. Remember, not everyone will be there thrusday night, so I don't think we should do something too big.

Anthony, I would have to agree with having the meal and seminar at the Lodge. We can try to schedule it later in the evening, in hopes that all of the late arrivals can attend. Here's the thing, this would all depend on how late Mr. Headrick would be willing to do the seminar. He lives on the other side of the lake, in the town of Celina; so he would have a little bit of a drive back. Hopefully everyone can get there in time for Mr. Headrick's seminar. But just in case, I can ask him for permission to record his seminar for the ones that aren't able to attend. I don't have a video recorder, so if any of you would like the task of recording the seminar, it would be much appreciated.

I'm also thinking that for Thursday night we should just plan on having a simple meal at the lodge. How does hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill sound to everybody?

Mark, I would be wary of asking to record his presentation. I don't know about him in particular, but most people who do the lecture circuit, or speak professionally to any extent generally don't want their presentations recorded. I would hate to have him "hold back" some good information because he felt uncomfortable about it being passed around by means other than word of mouth.

I will volunteer to bring a big ol' bowl of potato salad for Thursday night. It might be a bit cumbersome to prepare it there rather than in my own kitchen, so I will just make it Wednesday night, and put it in a cooler for the drive. I wouldn't want to do that for food served any later than Thursday night.

[zooker]

heres one for ya.

sunday night a brand new rod will be given away.it was donated by hwy 49. it is a 6'6'' team daiwa light and tough worming /jigging rod.



the mark on the top is permant marker which i'll try to sand off-i said TRY- this is how the rod was given to me by the daiwa rep..

zooker

[woody]

That's great, Zook! That rod retails for $130. Someone's gonna be very happy!


Nofear, you make a good point. The next time I speak to Mr. Headrick, I'll ask him where he stands of this idea, and go from there.

All right then, it looks like we're gonna be grill'n out Thursday night at the Lodge. Thanks Nofear, potato salad will go great with the burgers. Like I said, I'll be bringing the BBQ baked beans. Good, this is starting to come together!

So then, for Thursday night we will still need:

-Burgers and Hot-dogs or maybe Bratwurst
-Buns
-Condiments
-Paper Plates, Plastic Forks and Spoons, Napkins
-Charcoil, Lighter-Fluid
-Bring your own Beverage
-And whatever else you want to bring. Am I missing anything?

[BigBassin144]

One question about the sat. night fish fry. Are we doing it in John and Lisa's kitchen like last year, or are we going to attempt it outside with the turkey friers?

BB

[woody]

Anthony,

That would be up to John and his Boss, Lisa. hahaha

...sorry I couldn't resist!


-Mark

[zooker]

oh don't hold back woody. i had him-bama- gigglin like a school girl last night.. i was doing immpresonation of lisa..- don't tell her-...

zooker

[bamabassman]

OK..............HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I will ask lisa. But i already know her answer, DEPENDS! Depends on the weather, and all that stuff. Also depends on how many are gonna be there. Yea, Zooker had me rolling on the floor cause i was TRYING to be quiet. Lisa has her grandmother here till after Thanksgiving and she was in bed at the time. Lisa came in TWICE to tell me to hold it down. Haha!
But when we are all there and we see what is going on, i am sure we will figure it all out.Ain't had a falled one yet have we? The paln ALWAYS comes together, lmao.



Now i still haven't heard from Kevin. ARE YOU ATTENDING OR NOT MAN?! Come on now, everyone else has already made a semi-commitment. You said that oyu weren't gonna miss another one..........remember? lol.




And Zooker, i will tell her.........................later. Hahahahaha, boy are YOU gonna get it. LMAO!

[BigBassin144]

Kevin, you better let bama know if you're gonna be there before he has a heart attack, lol.

Cool zook, that's a pretty nice rod too, I handled them at bass pro few months back!

I don't mind the marker BTW!

Well there's your answer, John.

I can't imagine Kevin making the decision NOT to attend.


I know that it's still a bit too early for some to commit, which is completely understandable.

[zooker]

i snagged this from another forum.. but read it and take heed..

I love to hate this lake. It's beautiful country, It's frustrating to drive 4 hours down there to find out there isn't much going on except guys throwing live bait.

It is an easy place to get out of sort. Everything looks the same, and nothing noteworthy to mark your way. A map or GPS is highly advisable.

I "hear" the better smallie areas are south toward the dam, and the closer you get or go into Kentucky, you will find the better largemouth fishing. I would be prpared for jerkbait fishing, jigs, and float and fly. There's a gas station near Cedar Hill (One Stop?) that carries good amounts of gear, and most of the fishermen gather up there in the morning.

i am posting this so i don't get THAT phone call..which will be " umm dude where am i?? i aint sure if i am in the right creek.."

i hate to bring the fire and brimstone down on a forum member who failed to avoid this potentally hilarious situation..<-you hearin this sa4il?

cause me, i'll dail 911 and the coast guard out fer a search and rescue. and try not to lmao while shooting video of the whole thing...

Also, don't forget to bring a Sharpie marker with you, so that Mr. Headrick can point out some spots for you on your lake map.
