OK looks like the 28th at Kincaid.
I would suspect everyone will want an early start to beat the heat? How does 6-11 sound?

Add further questions and stuff here.

Sounds good.

What boat ramp you planning on meeting at?

how much $ are we putin in on this?

What boat ramp you planning on meeting at?

Dunno, which one would be best?

how much $ are we putin in on this?

Probably same as last time. $10 entry, and $5 big bass.

I'd be up for it if it were the 29th but the 28th I have to go in early at 11 am.

In fact I could probably get Jdawg to go with me (actually it'd be me on his boat) if it were the 29th.

DUDE, we aren't pros. We fished 7-12 last outing, and that was plenty. 6-11 and we'll be ready to get off the water in heat like this.:p So you CAN go out.

Heck I'd even be up for an earlier start. Born a Northerner, I hate the heat. Rather it be 15 degrees and in a tree or blind.

sounds good 3 to 8 sounds good to me im a big man and cant do anything without sweating a liter out of my body so daylight to some time sounds good im up for it i think i can go im not sure if i can im game so all i need is a ride i might go with josh or something

dang wont be able to make this one either got a bowfishing tourney that weekend at Rend, maybe the next one

The ramp at Johnathan Creek might keep ya out of the recreational boaters hustle and bustle and put ya right in the prime fishing no wake area. Just a suggestion. I ususally use Paul Ice at the east end to avoid the marina traffic but may use the JC one for fishing the no wake.

Isn't it no wake for like MILES at johnson creek? That would kinda suck in a way too. Kinda hard to hit different places at trollin speed.

3 miles of no wake but mucho fishing opportunities in there.

you have to fish on the main lake if you want the fish

paul ice is the way to go its not to far from anything anyway

Just looked up the sunrise data for July 28th...Sunrise @ 5:57 am...civil twilight @ 5:28 am. Could we start around 5:30? Say 5:30ish-11:00? Doesn't really matter to me...just throwing that out there...

Joe

Do I get to be the "official photographer" since I'm a lousy bass fisher, and my pal has absconded with my johnboat....he's holding it hostage at some farm pond somewehere....

we could do that a 5:30 is cool with me but hopefully it isnt hot that day i hate the heat

I will have to be at SIU that day to be at work at 11 am but I talked to JDAWG tonight and we are in, I may jet out earlier than he does but we're in.. just name the place and time.

I'd like to be there I have to work that Saturday. I could fish it if it was on Sunday. I've been down there 5 times this year and have caught at least 10 bass or more. last time we werer there we caught 21.

I work Sat too! Just to let yall know your lucky HighCountry and I cannot be there, haha. Or else "gameover"

so when are we really having this tourneyment im wanting to go to this one im off and i dont have a care in the world right now so when and what time have we decided on

OK here's what we got

28th at Kincaid LOCKED IN
$10 entry $5 big bass
0530 - 1030 Up for discussion
Need a ramp to meet at.... ASAP, I need to figure out where I'm campin.

Smoke, If you need a ride, you can go w/ me the night prior, but your bringin your own tent. LOL

C'mon bob don't ya have a double sleepin bag for ya both? might get cold out there at nite ya know lol.

I would vote for the marina ramp or paul ice ramp. they are both nice and close to the main lake. Take a look at the campgrounds an routes to the ramps an you decide, i think i can find either one in the dark lol.

bob why are you camping anyway and i vote on paul ice and i am hoping i can go i might be at the old mans that weekend i dont know

JdAWG and I vote for Paul Ice or Murphy marina as well.

We will probably camp over at Johnson creek...depending on the heat...Critter wants to camp at one of the hike ins...there a couple with little canoe sized "docks" (well some posts and two boards LOL) Smoky try to talk your dad into it! Tell him Critter's going! Since I have managed to only catch 2 bass in the last three months...do we get a consolation prize for catfish? LOL

i am going to try to get him to go but im going to have to pay for gas for him buts its ok and i think he might have to work on the saterday so i dont know

Hope i get my boat fixed by then or i'll be trollin all over lol. (I'm an idiot for swearing)(I'm an idiot for swearing)(I'm an idiot for swearing)(I'm an idiot for swearing) warning buzzers drivin me nuts an duno what's causing it yet.

Isn't that usually a sign of either the oil injection or water pump pump having problems?

Hah! trollin motor is all we have....I'm tellin ya..bass fishermen we ain't - ya'll just be gentle and do not smirk and laugh at us too hard until we are out of sight LOL I do not stand a chance..I am merely coming for the good folks and fun! Oh yeah and to take scads of pictures LOL

So have we picked a ramp? I'm an obsessive planner...I realize the no wake business at Johnson creek bothers some..but there sure seems to be some good fishing in that area...well catfish anyway LOL We easy and agreeable though! We may not camp if it stays so miserable hot...the heat wrecks my MS...I turn into a blob of goo that can't function...

Nothing wrong with that Gretchen. A trolling motor can get a small boat going pretty good.

We're not much good at bass fishing either unless you're counting whites, but we have a great time with our fishing. Unfortunately we won't be able to make this competition. Our boat's up in Carlyle waiting for some sheet metal (pontoon boat) from the manufacturer so they can fix it. We could probably use it that weekend, but Carlyle's a might out of the way for heading down to Kincaid, plus I know the trolling motor's battery isn't charged up. Yeah, my wife ordered a pontoon boat with a trolling motor on the front as well as an outboard on the back. She's into this fishing thing too.

we just have one of those little wash tub plastic two man boats, so a trollin motor is it...but it really works well for us, specially since I like to use it along the banks shooting the wildlife...it does a remarkable job in very very shallow water....even if does look like we put cafeteria chairs in wash tub LOL

i fish out of one of them up here in NA out at the strip pits its pretty nice its caught alot of big fish out of it and we found hella lures out of it so i just repaint them either dont fish with them and put them on a wall or i paint them and use it till i have to paint it again good little boat it gets where the others cant and a trolling motor on that thing gets it going pretty fast i want to get it camoed so i can hunt out of it :cool: :D

I've thought about getting one of those because there are just some places you can't get with a pontoon. I think I'll go for a small pontoon with a trolling motor instead.

lifestudent...when we bought this one, they lady was telling us about a little pontoon ..a gill getter I think she called it...evidently a baby sized pontton but sure a step up from the clothes basket...

Gretchen , do you have pics of yours?

here ya go Bam Bam....now the rest of you with your big boats...don't laugh too hard at my little redneck toy!

http://www.siloutdoors.com/imagehosting/447469fddb5caa0d.jpg

That's cute.....hey you seen ours it aian't that bigger....Those are nice for the little lakes....that is why my hub likes his.....My hubs fishing partner bought a brand new skeeter that cost more than some houses.....It is really nice but I wouldn't want that kind of payment.....we are more into remodeling our house now......

that little boat is pimp the one i fish out of it bigger 10' to be exact and i have caught hella fish out of it im sure you have done the same they might not be the most comfortable but they get where the big ones cant

That's a pretty sweet little rig with the wheels on the back of it.

Yeah. That'd be real handy. I notice you even have a small cooler tucked under the front seat. Is that for y'all when you're fishing of for your bait?;)

you betcha...IL isn't going to let any of us get by without giving them our 22.00.....I was surprised..I really didn't think it would need to be alas it was required. :(

one cooler for snacks and drinks one for bait....

it so stupid if it was peices of wood tied together we would have to give them money to liscense it i was going to get a canue thing and it had to be licsened

Cope Marine had a small pontoon boat that runs on 4 batteries using 2 24V trolling motors. Top speeds about 6 mph. Something like that wouldn't be too bad either, but it won't fit in the back of your pickup.

Any body know the general pattern for this time of year at Kinkaid?

ussaly hot and miserable so no not really

I have yet to see a single boat catch a fish unless it flies out at you on the river . My point is the fisherman makes the catch not the boat. No making fun of anyones boats here.

That's one thing you'd never find me doing. I have a lot of respect for the smaller boats and wish we had one too. There are too many places they can go that a larger one like we have can't. Too bad I couldn't convince my wife of that till she saw it first hand.

At the same time, I wouldn't take a small boat out on Rend or Carlyle because it doesn't take much of a breeze at all to be fighting some pretty big waves.

take a small boat too ballwin lake

man how much one of them boats costs ya. that'd be perfect for me.
