Looking more and more like THEE event of the summer. I'll miss this year's Bash but I'll expect a full report, with pictures of the days catches. Hopefully, this will become an annual event...Enjoy! SullyTM

BTW...David is a BBQ wizard for those of you who might be wondering about getting enough to eat :twisted:

[Gregg Machel]

I'll have to miss this one, I have to travel back to India again during this time. :(
Wish I could attend, this sounds like a great event.

[Adam Grace]

I recently found out that I cannot get the day off from work. The summertime vacations of my associates have stopped me from making it to the bass bash.

I'm bummed! :cry:

I hope that you guys have a great time.

[Flyjunkie]

You know Me..I love Bass Bugs... :D

However, I will be In Loreto, BAJA with Lee B. at that Time and the action is Going wide Open down there..So I must gracefully Bow out of Attending....

A Thousand apologizes...but I will attempt to Redeem myself by Hooking Something down there on a Popper that day.... :wink:


Have Fun,

__________________________________________________ __________

Can everybody post their situation so we can pair up people.

Some will be in kayaks or small one man crafts and other like Charlie Gonzoles has a boat with room for one person.

Everyone needs to be in a kayak, canoe or boat. There is lots of great cover right at Lundborg's.

What about float tubes or pontoon boats???

__________________________________________________ ___________

This is pretty cool....I think it is just the start of a lot of great fishouts for our little BB. Lake and the Delta are great for fishouts because there is lots of room.

[Ben-doc]

My best efforts of the last 24 hours to change my flight out to Chicago from Saturday to Sunday have at last been thwarted, and I will be unable to attend. :( I am truly bummed.

I hope you all have a great time--so great that this indeed becomes a tradition and I can come next year.

[mikenewman]

Bill, I will be fishing out of a 16' aluminium skiff and have a spare seat up for grabs.
Mike

[Hairstacker]

Ben-doc, sorry to hear you can't make it. :( I'm sure there will be other opportunities. Bill mentioned October as another possibility, which I believe will be even better, as that is one of my favorite months to be out there.

Yep, you got it right Bill, I plan to bring my red inflatable kayak, though David Lee and I are planning to fish out of his 12-footer in the morning. 8)

[Charlie Gonzales]

Charles Won may be with me in my boat but he wont be know for sure til thursday.

[Richard]

I'm using a 13 1/2' Tiderunner (15hp motor and a 55 lb thrust bow mounted trollling motor) which has two seats, but I think I have a guest coming with me, still unconfirmed. The boat will carry two, but I suspect it will only fish one person at a time. Unless you LIKE being stuck with a bug in your ear. :lol:

[dreamingincolor]

Its a sad day in Dale Smiths world... I have planned for weeks to attend the bug fest, worked on boat, tied some fair flies(beginner) goten cabover in shape etc. etc.
You guessed it Ihave a situation where my smiling face will not be seen at the bug fest. My business partner has a family emergency and will be out of state attending to family affairs, my office maniger is on vacation and with a 24/7 business duity calls and i must man the helm.
I hope everyone has a wonderful time and look forward to all the pictures, stories, and joking that such an event must create.
Good luck everyone!!!
Dale Smith

[Hairstacker]

That's a real shame Dale, was looking forward to having you join us. :( As in Ben-doc's case, sure hope to catch you at the next one.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

I think we can plan fish-outs for any month of the year.

I think we could try New Hogan Reservoir next for top water Stripers in August which is prime time.

:evil: David :D

[sculpin]

I hope you all have a great time. I had it in the back of my mind to see if I could talk Jbird into a road trip down your way. Unfortunately boat trailer repairs ect have taken up all my spare time. I'll try the next one.Drink a cold one for me.

Mark

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Jim Christensen and I are headed down to Lundborg's this afternoon.

We will probably fish a little tonight and leave the boat in the water overnight.

My cell phone : 530-867-1219

I think most will be fishing from 5:00am till 10:00am.

We will have a barbeque at David Lee's shady camp sight at noon. David has some chicken and I am bringing hot dogs.

You might bring a folding chair?

Kevin will give us some top water tips after lunch. If it is really too hot to fish by 10:00am maybe he can do it before lunch?

It is overcast again this morning which is really good.

[Charlie Gonzales]

I'm all alone in my boat, so if anyone wants join me let me know
