Anyone Interested in a UB Southeast Rally at Guntersville ?

Bigwrench · September 18, 2013, 05:59:07 AM

Lee and I were talking about maybe having a Ultimate Bass get together at Guntersville and Lee suggested The State Park as possibly the best location. Thought we'd start a thread to see what dates work best for those that could possibly attend. Anyone interested in making this happen , Post up your ideas !

That's kinda why we wanted to get this out there and see what date ranges , or months/time of year works best for everyone that is in the area or driving range. What works best for your schedule ?

Polaris425 · September 18, 2013, 08:35:59 AM

Well I dunno how far out you want to plan but I'm already off the whole last week of March 2014... So that would work best for me. lol

basscat1 · September 18, 2013, 09:24:21 AM

I'd be interested, knowing the date.

Bigwrench · September 18, 2013, 11:24:27 AM

Could probably eliminate the summer months ?

. So maybe sometime in
March-May , September -October? We're getting closer

I can pretty much take whenever as long as i know a few weeks in advance . We could always shoot for this time next year pick a weekend and go with it. Like 9/12/14-9/15/14 ?

Bigwrench · September 19, 2013, 06:38:36 PM

Glad you jumped in Stumpy ! I knew you'd be all for G'ville ! Like I said I'm flexible in my scheduled time off from work so let's kick it around and anyone who thinks they may be able to attend throw up a date and let's make it happen !

Polaris425 · September 19, 2013, 07:03:49 PM

Just remember the classic will be there in February. Better give it a little time to cool back down lol.

March and pre spawn sounds awesome to me.

Bigwrench · September 20, 2013, 06:28:33 AM

March will work for me If its the last weekend , I'll have to do some major damage control . Lil mans birthday is the 29th

Mike Cork · September 20, 2013, 11:14:33 AM

Wow this is a Bucket List lake for me

With my tournament schedules spring will be tough. Fall would be better. What ever is best for everyone else and I'll do my best to make it

kidd · September 20, 2013, 01:09:14 PM

Been there a time or two in March and April and the spawn was long gone. Missed it by a month or two according to the locals but shad spawn was on so fishing was decent. I'd vote for octoberish since the classic is there in feb. Otherwise I'd be all over feb. Fun lake

leatherhead · September 20, 2013, 01:35:11 PM

I am in central florida so it looks like ROADTRIP....

Bigwrench · September 20, 2013, 05:13:16 PM

Could put up a poll

see which dates get the most votes and run with it

. Glad to see alot of interest too ! I think it could be great with lots of turn out ! A lot of membership in driving range and a great fishery too !

Mike Cork · September 21, 2013, 10:08:25 AM

A poll is a great way to get things started.

Everyone, please keep in mind that there will not be a date that everyone can make. It is just impossible. However the further out you make it the better the chances that people can forecast the time off. So this fall is obviously out. This coming spring is getting out there and could work.

For me any date is tough but I'll be able to make it if it falls right. Through the spring I fish 4 different organizations and that's at least one a weekend. So it would have to fall on one that I could afford to miss an event (team deal where partner could handle business). In the fall, October is full of Championship events, staff get togethers, and on and on. So September is usually good, Oct. can be tough. November is pushing Turkey Day.

All that was to show that the year hasn't even started and I have a full calendar, and I know I'm not alone. We'll have to run with a date that the majority can make and hope the rest can find a way.

Bigwrench · September 21, 2013, 11:56:29 AM

As soon as Lsmith500 (Lee) gets back from Guntersville , we will start a poll with a spring time date and a fall time date and just go with it

most votes wins ! I could do either but to be honest, for me Fall time would be better. UBCS is in April, Classic is in February. Springs gonna be a busy time

FolsomFishing · September 21, 2013, 12:00:24 PM

If you do it in March I have trip planned already and I can come too.

Lil mans bday time is not an option Bigwrench. Lol. I say September/October for whatever trip u r planning. Just my two cents. Lol. Love u btw!

fishinfranklin · September 22, 2013, 11:51:55 AM

I would love to come!! It has been on my list for years and never gotten up there. waiting on the
poll to see the dates. There is a couple of guides from there that post reports maybe one of them
will chime in and give us some insight on the best time of the year there. I wouldn't let the classic affect
the date,,from all I read about the lake and pressure it gets,, I think it would great at the end of march.

Polaris425 · September 22, 2013, 12:58:04 PM

If any if y'all are interested. Fish life is hosting their "lazy mans" tourneys this fall/winter on the G. $50 entry $10 big bass, fish 9a-3p. Just look them up for info.

Lee Smith · September 22, 2013, 03:48:19 PM

Well, it was rough out there this week!!!

Still took 60#'s to win, but we didn't find no where close to that!! When you have a 12# drop between 1st and 2nd, then another 5# drop to third you know it was rough.

If we do it in the fall, it would have to be October, early November, cause it ain't fall in September down here

But, I'll be there whatever is decided!!

bassindude · September 22, 2013, 04:52:21 PM

I want to keep track of this thread. Im a definate MAYBE. lol. The wife and daughter decided we are moving back to Indy, so Im not sure where ill be when this hits. Maybe ill get as far as Huntsville and just stop driving. In that case ill be there for sure. Jim

kidd · September 23, 2013, 02:41:31 AM

I definitely did NOT mean October of this year. That would be way too short of notice for almost anyone.
