Alright Fellars !!! I am back in commission.... Have the new boat and job ironed out now so I can fish one of these things.... WHEW !!!!!! I will go ahead and spill the beans. I know yall fished it in April but how about Wheeler and out of the First Creek Ramp since everbody is pretty much located in the Northwest corner of the state. See ya !
I'll take Wheeler but what about out of Decatur?
Got to make you earn ya money dude... Thats to close to the flats !!!!!!!
Just Kidding !!!!!!
I'll take Wheeler out of 1st Creek. Come on Eric, you'll get over it. Nothing like a little run in a tournament.
Jason Phillips
I'll play along and take Wheeler and First Creek as ramp choice. Not that it will matter weather or not partner and I can catch any fish but thats my vote.
O.k. since ya'll finally going to try to get on the good end of the lakeI'll try to make this one if I can. Put me in for Wheeler 1st creek ramp. Come on Eric, I know you can catch some fish thats not in that old grass.
Boy !!!! Did I ever open up a can of worms !!!!!
Great idea Matt.first creek wheeler don't worry about the WORMS.
Well I guess I'll try to catch some of those rock fish up in your neck of the woods Jody.
Eric,
Do you think we can stand beating Jody two months in a row on two different lakes?
Where will we go for lunch this time? The Lodge is too expensive.
Jason Phillips
Well I don't know he can catch them on Wheeler to but we might have to make a little run to do it.
I just can't see running that far unless you are on them real good. I would rather fish a little closer and utilize the time to fish rather than running. That is of course unless you know for a fact they will be there when you get there.
So what would you guys think about having a "trailering tournament" where you could put in an any ramp on the lake? That's with the understanding, of course, that you would have to register at ramp "A", couldn't leave ramp "A" until safe light, and had to be back at ramp "A" by the official weigh in time. And you would have to fish the same lake - no running to Guntersville!
With the price of gas, I'd much rather use $18 - $20 worth of gas towing my boat to a ramp closer to where I wanted to fish instead of burning $85 - $90 worth of gas to get there by boat. (Based on a 90 mile round trip with the average truck getting ~15 mpg and the average boat getting ~3 mpg at WOT.)
I'm not a real big fan of trailering tournaments but thats just me.
Avery,
I understand the thinking behind it and based on that I don't mind. But, unfortunately, in todays time, no matter how large or small a tournament, you have some that want to win no matter what and that just makes it too easy to stop by a farm pond you know and fill up on nice fish and not burn much gas at all.
I'm game though to go along with whatever the others want to do.
Jason Phillips
This must be Avery's fuel gauge

I guess that means no locking through to Wilson either??

Absolutely! Actually it wouldn't matter, Alan, 'cause Wilson's like the Dead Sea for me right now for some reason........unless you want to catch a bunch of stripers!
Striper tournament? Sounds like an interesting idea.
