2010 PVA Bass Tournament Location Change

[PVABassTour]

Boat Partners and gambler4 aka "The Cripple Crippler" we have a location change for the 2010 Mid-America "OKIE OPEN" Bass Tournament. We will be on Fort Gibson Lake in Wagoner, OK. The dates are the same, September 24-26, 2010.

Right now we are doing everything at the Tulakogee Conference Center. I need your thoughts on where we should launch and if there are hotels in the area that are boater friendly. I will be heading out there for a site visit in early November and would like to look at all my options.

Thanks for your help.

taylors ferry north would be the launch ramp it is 4 boats wide and decent parking, there is a small (pavilion) you could weigh in at . there is a old hotel on the hiway right outside of the park http://indianlodge.net/. there is a days inn hotel in wagoner less than a 10 mile drive to the ramp that are set up for boats .http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/contr...earch-Days_Inn. or the state park just across the lake has http://www.shopoklahoma.com/westernh.htm i looked up the conference center and it seems to be close to the whitehorn cove area. it will be a long drive to taylors ferry and i dont see that they have a ramp at the campgrounds whitehorn cove has a ramp and some nice facitilities they have some tournaments out of there. when you are coming down let me know and i can help get you out there or take you for a ride email me @ gambler4 @tds.net and i can help you with some more stuff.

YEEEEEHHAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!!!! It's about time ya'll quit going to that d@#%! gar hole Keystone!

The only thing bad about Gibson is there is NO Where with a Boat Ramp like the one at Keystone.

[lakefolk]

how many boats y'all expecting??? does everyone have to launch at 1 site?
Whitehorn has 2 ramps (3 lanes) but you'd need to make arrangements wth the resort as they keep one of them closed most of the time. The public ramp is 2 lanes and the other is 1. There are no hotels out here.
does Tulakogee have housing? might be worth checking in to. I believe they do but not positive.
Whitehorn has a resturaunt and campground. however most of the rv spots are annual rentals.
Rocky point is 4 miles and they have tons of camp spots. Should be a bunch available that weekend. 2 loading ramps located there also.
Wagoner has 2 hotels in town, days inn and sleepy traveler.
There is the indian lodge (previously mentioned) out by taylors ferry and the lodge at western hills. Taylors ferry also has some lodging.
Whitehorn is by far the closest to tulakegee. It is a very nice place and they have had many tournaments out of there. I used to manage it 20 years ago and we had tournaments nearly every weekend during the season.

y'all have any questions just ask, shoot me an IM if ya want to. If i dont know i can find out for you. ive lived on gibson for 25 years.

[gambler4]

50-70 boats and some bank fisherman . alan will have to get with whitehorn, how much parking do they have ? there wont be too many campers .thats not to far to the days inn.

The place I always stay at Ft Gibson is the Sleepy Traveler in Wagoner. Cheap, clean rooms with lots of room for boat parking that are only a few miles from the lake. Great lake! I wish it wasn't a 3 hour drive away!!

[lakefolk]

they have plenty of parking. i havent met the newest owners of the resort but surely they'll work with y'all.

[PVABassTour]

Thank you all for the great information. The Camp has housing to accommodate most of the anglers but I always want to have options. They said there is a ramp there on the camp but I will have to see it to decide if it is a true ramp, most likely not. I will keep you all posted on any information that I gather from my site visit and might take up the offer from the "Cripple Crippler" and go for one of his famous "Boat Rides" around the lake.

Thanks again and keep the thoughts and ideas coming!! The more the better prepared I will be for making decisions.

[gambler4]

anytime

[OkieBud]

Gibson is not as rough as Keystone ........

[lakefolk]

i might just have to go over there and see the ramp, cant remember even seeing it from the water. it might be something added since ive been over there. its been quite a while.. I live about 3 miles from there. I also know theyve done a lot of work there over the years.

if i can be of any help what so ever just holler, like i said its not far at all..

when you come here give me a shout, it would be cool to meet up..

[PVABassTour]

Will do. Thanks Brian.

is it true that the ''Cripple Crippler'' wanted the lake change? i heard he's lost his touch on keystone , didn't even scare his partner this year much less get his ass out of the seat ! what a puss.

[gambler4]

you better watch it , my partner this year understood what hang on means . he wasnt all bundled up and holdin his little rain hood over is head to keep warm gibson is a better lake than keystone. i bet we see some 20+lb strings out of it
and furthermore i am going to have "cripple crippler" on the side of my boat this year. little stevie funk mcdorkle oughta like that

[vanholder]

if some people get 20 lb stringers i guess that means you'll have 7-8.little stevie mckdungeater said he'll beat you like a b^@^!%ch if you try anything funny with him. you'll be the ''Crippled Cripple Ccrippler''!!!

[vanholder]

i still wanna know who paid the spoonbill to attack me.

[gambler4]

those are thick in gibson

i sent stevie a email and he wanted to know who gambler4 was so i told him, and he is buying new virus software.

and i can usually get 12 lbs @ gibson prefishing

[PVABassTour]

After losing his nerve as an aggressive boat driver, Mike "Cripple Crippler" Money hires Spoonbill to do his dirty work.

[vanholder]

you talk pretty big for a walker
