3rd Annual UB Rally - East Toho

[Canesfan]

Haha, yall should see the "contract" my wife had typed up for me. All the days of the year that I am not allowed to schedule fishing trips. She made me sign it and had it notarized by her cousin to be a "legal" document, lol. Oh man, looks like next year I wont be joining if it the two weekends in the middle of March .

Geeze, next thing you know it will be the stipulations in the divorce.

JUST KIDDING but does seem a little harsh, lol.

I wanted to go this year but not guaranteed a seat and not sure if I could get either Friday or Monday off so will PLAN it for next year.  Sounds like it will be a great time.

[Mike Noble]

OK, so I take it we are all staying at the same place? And if anyone can give me a few details about the dinner. Is it at the fish camp? or are we going to be going to a restaurant?

The place we go has a bunch of cabins and they have a restaurant.  We have all stayed there in the past and we do eat the get together supper at the restaurant on property.  Last year they had an area of the restaurant all set up for us.

I don't know if Boggy Creek has a website up and running yet but they do have a facebook page.  Guess the new owners changed the name from East Lake to Boggy Creek.

I still have a seat available Canesfan if you want to come up for a day. I'm not sure which day I will be going (Probably Sat then Dinner with Group). You are more than welcome (even though you are a Nole that pulls for the canes!!)

That I may take you up on.  Yes, I went to FSU but UM pays me extremely well but I did root for the Noles.

Is she still coming with you LMG? I hope that she doesn't give us all the stink eye when we show up at the ramp! Maybe we can bring her some flowers so that she can look forward to coming BACK again next year!

I was thinking this too lol he's fishing with me so I might need to buy her something as a thank you?  Lolol

[West6550]

Looks like we have a decent little group.  I'm excited. Heck I'm going on a cruise in like a week and a half and I'm more excited about this trip lol 

I have decided to come in on Friday some time after noon since check in is then.  I'll probably fish that afternoon and catch up on some sleep before fishing all day on Saturday.  The back of my boat will be empty that afternoon if somebody is looking.  lLmgMouthGambler has the back on Sat/Sun.  My wife is still coming up Saturday morning after she gets off work, so she will make the dinner that night.  She enjoyed meeting you guys two years ago and is glad to be able to make this trip.

Has anybody heard from CopnJacks?  I hope he can make it down this year.

I'm watching Baron's post for some updates lol I would love for us all to get on some decent fish this year!

That's funny right there! She is a little up in arms of whether she wants to tag along or not. She doesn't want to go venture out by herself, so she may just stay home for the weekend. Either way, I will be there. I'm pretty darn excited for this trip. Oh, I also buy her flowers on the 14th of every month (a little thing between her and I), this time I got twice the amount of flowers and a sweet card, lol. Kiss ass mode, lol.

[West6550]

Doing good man lol

[LgMouthGambler]

She is gonna let me know by this weekend if she is gonna come with me or not.

[Capt. BassinLou]

LOL... I have heard first hand how upset she can be when you go fishing, all day with a certain person, wink...wink... Those better be some really nice flowers and the best card you have ever given her. Good luck bud.

[mlakrid]

Well,

Unless I find someone to split a room with me even though I live within 2 hours, I doubt I will be coming. As you probably already saw, Mauro who normally comes with me to outings like this can not make it.

I don't want to be driving all that way four times in two days, especially without someone helping me split the cost.

I have already spoken to Baron, I hope to make it but as of right now, it is not looking good.

If I don't make it, good luck to everyone that does go!!!

Well I am finally in the newly remodeled cabin and have internet as well.  Hopefully can stay on top of things a little better now. 

There has been a lot of confusion over the name and the website.  The original name for this place was "East Lake Fish Camp"  new name is "Boggy Creek Resort and RV Park.  The phone number is the same as on the web page for East Lake Fish Camp, however the website is not being supported and emails are not being returned or looked at.  If anyone has a problem getting though or getting a reservation contact me.  I can provide you with the cell numbers of the managers.

Fishing has been a little tough, but the last cold front dropped the temps from the high 60's into the 50's.  Lots of beds getting dusted off so the big girls should start moving around soon.

If anyone needs anything or has any questions PM me and I will do the best I can to help you out.

I'm a definite for Saturday then meeting up with the group after for dinner. I still have a boat opening if Canesfan or anybody else needs a ride. Looking forward to it!

[LgMouthGambler]

OK I'm all by myself that weekend. The wife decided she isn't going to come with. I'm soon excited for this little get together. So what's the deal? We gonna have a little friendly competition or what? I have been scoping the lake out on Google maps to see what the layout is. West, I am going to be bringing pretty much all of my stuff so feel free to whatever you want to use. I figure I should have a feel of what's going on after the first day, so i dont whant to be ill prepared.

Ditto bud lol.

I will leave a back box open for you. Please bring a PFD if ya got one.  I will try and give you two back boxes if I can.  Plenty of storage on my boat brother. Also have a passenger side seat rod holder for your rods built in under the second console.

I spent quite a bit of time researching the lake last year.. didn't help with 40mph winds at 40° lolol my old boat literally was getting moved with the trolling motor on full speed lol. New boat has a powerpole though and better trolling motor lol

Ok, sounds great. I can't wait.

[Canesfan]

OK, FlatsnBay, I am out.  Will definitely plan for next year, sorry as it would have been a great opportunity to meet those with whom I have seen posting many times but  not a wife problem , just work related.

[Baron49]

Hope the weather improves here shortly.  Was so cold this morning that everything from the truck, boat, grass, and roof tops were all covered with a heavy frost.    When I got here two weeks ago it was perfect  ....water temps were into the mid 60's and the buck bass were moving around, cold front last week drops the water temps into the 50's, was just coming back a little to about 60 when this current front hit.  Have not been on the water in two days and have to assume that the temps are down into the low 50's.  Will see what happens when the Cracker boys have their tournament this weekend.  Plan on making it a point to check out the weight in. 

It could be worse....my home town of Watertown, NY was recorded on the National Weather as having the lowest temp in the nation at a -37 degrees at 1 AM on 1/22/14.

Open spot in the boat if anybody wants to come over for the Saturday. I would hate to have to take on West and Lgmouthgambler all by myself!!  Just kidding! 

[Baron49]

Cracker Boys had 60 boats in their tournament this past Saturday on East Lake and faced really bad cold weather conditions.  Most every boat caught at least a fish, half the field caught limits.  Average bag was 8 to 10 lbs.  Big bass and 2nd big bass were 4 and 3 lbs.  Not bad for the cold conditions they fished.

I fished Sunday after the event and stayed on the main lake most of the day.  Caught several decent sized bass 2 to 2 1/2 lbs and due to the nicer weather actually saw some activity on the surface with bass chasing shiner.  Water temps by the end of the day were getting to 58-59 degrees.

Warm temps next week should start heating the lake back up and hopefully the big girls will start moving in again.
