A nice thought!

Bob Smith · 03-07-08, 07:16 PM

Wouldn't it be cool if we could find a lake like NickaJack (Tennessee) or somewhere fairly central with a good rep for fishing for a 3-4 day BassFishin Forum get together and fun tourney? Not hotels or motels but cabins and campgrouds with a pavillion that we could cook out together and sit around fire pits every evening kicking around the day's fishing?

lunker-lander · 03-07-08, 07:20 PM

Yep!

bassinbob · 03-07-08, 07:36 PM

Heck ya. Love to taste some southern Q.

bamabassman · 03-07-08, 07:46 PM

bob that ain't too far for me!! heck, i can be there within and hour. if we sell our house we are planning on getting a travel trailer. and i can cook the best ribs around says my wife. and i would love to fish up there. we cross over nickajack lake when we go to gatlinburg. maybe we can sell the house soon and get the trailer and be ready to go soon.

brushhog · 03-07-08, 09:30 PM

I'd be a little embarrassed to try and stack up to all you semi-pro's in the fishing dept I'm still pretty wet behind the ears..., but I can sit around a fire, eat, drink and swap stories with the best of 'em!!!!

bamabassman · 03-08-08, 12:10 AM

brushhog, you can help me in the kitchen. haha, i ain't wanting to compete, just enjoy the company. yes i will fish. just not compete. i believe that is what bob wants to try to do. just get together and have a good time and compare fish and trade stories. at least i hope so, hehe. because i know that i would come in last!!! i coach better than i fish.

lunker-lander · 03-08-08, 09:12 AM

Ohhhhhhhh.... This includes 'fishing'?

-Lunk-

BigBassin144 · 03-08-08, 10:53 AM

That would be awesome!

LL, of course it would.

Brushhog, you would definately learn a lot fishing with these guys though. I know I'd go just to learn more and try to get better.

BB

P.S. and of course those with boats would let us non boaters go wthi em!

Exactly right, just a big old fashioned campout and get together!
The Bass club I belonged to in Texas, we did this twice a year and it was a lot of fun! Great way to get to know folks and very relaxing!

crankybait · 03-08-08, 12:22 PM

If only everyone from this site lived closer together... Maybe a few different get togethers in different regions. For example
SouthEast
MidWest
NorthEast
West
and on and on

Personally I'm all for having one in NJ

bamabassman · 03-08-08, 03:35 PM

sounds great cranky. but i really would like to somehow get as many folks from ALL over to get together. it would be great. hard to do with everyones schedule, but great none the less. maybe one day........................

lunker-lander · 03-08-08, 03:50 PM

I say 'Lake Falcon'!

-Lunk-

Bob Smith · 03-08-08, 04:48 PM

LL, nice thought, but I think something a little more central here in the general east would probably be more conducive to the posters we have on this forum.

pignjig · 03-09-08, 06:43 PM

Bob, that's a great idea! Count at least one Virginian in! Tennessee ain't too fer a-piece to go fer that. I wonder what sort of ball you got rollin'?

-Pig

MississippiBoy · 03-09-08, 10:42 PM

I'm in...big time...

bcklash · 03-10-08, 12:13 AM

Me and the bandit would also go for this. Sounds like a great idea.

senko · 03-10-08, 12:24 AM

I'd soooo be in but my mom wouldn't let me go with a bunch of "strangers"

Heck yes! If I win the lottery (I'll have to buy a ticket first), I would treat a bunch of folks to such an event.

JB · 03-10-08, 07:10 AM

its a great way for guys to pick up on others techniques and methods, it also may teach some to slow down instead of "leaving fish to find fish"
mentality.

Whup · 03-10-08, 08:46 AM

I'm in for this as well.I don't wanna compete but i'd probably beat the banks around there a bit.Drink and swap stories.

BassAddict · 03-10-08, 09:27 AM

I'll be in Gatlinburg, TN the first week of August with my boat! My family is on vacation there that week. I could probably get away for a day!

rodman rat · 03-10-08, 10:25 AM

COUNT ME IN!! Where and when???

CarpMan · 03-10-08, 10:51 AM

June - Sept we'll be on vac tour, other than that we'd like to show up, under an assumed identity of course. Carp and Red

Bob Smith · 03-10-08, 12:42 PM

Let's do some searching and see what we can find up in Tennessee that would work for everyone. I would say the July August time frame would be hot but what the heck! It would be summer and we would stand a better chance for drawing more folks to such a get together!

lunker-lander · 03-10-08, 04:08 PM

That would be a great time. No school for the younger ones, and a good time to relax.

BTW, great idea!
