I know I shouldn't think or ask these questions but.........How many of those participating in the TOC have been to Margarita? Yeah Lance has been there

but how many will be seeing the water for the first time this Tournament? Wondering that's all.

I've been there once.........................

But seriously if you have never stayed in the KOA Kabins they are nothing more than wooden tents. They have electricity and beds, no refrigerator. You will need to bring a big cooler, cooking utensils, sleeping bags and pillows. Bring your own towels as the showers are accross the road behind the kabins. Bring drinking water! There is a small charcoal BBQ pit in front of the kabin and they are fun to hang out at in the evenings.

Hey JB, Can I fish with Mr. Handy since he does not have a partner?

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 2:30 pm

Not even going to consider that. That would constitute a new team that never fished the joes.

The question you asked did not appear to be in jest. That question is not only unethical for me to even consider but totally out of line for you to even ask.

Andy you have an important pm you need to read and call me at your convenience

That would be like an Am asking his Pro for his second biggest fish so that the Am could weigh it in to try to get Am big fish money.

I cant even imagine the brass balls it would take to ask that question

I was there and remember it well. 1 of the people involved checked in right in front of me.

Lance (SCFF Duplicate) · Sat Aug 29, 2009 8:20 am

I'm bringing a small fridge that I have in the garage, this will be our cooling unit for food and drink. Dan and I will be using an ice chest for beer containment, the image of pulling a ice cold beer from a cooler filled with ice is far better. Something about plunging your fist into icy ice water with a smile on your face, the cold water run down your arm as you crack open the brew. Yes, its the dawn of a new era, you are a man, and you are at the Top Stick Joe's TOC.

Now if we can only find a way to keep a drunk Ray L from streaking across the KOA

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 5:17 am

SNOOP "A" LOOP..... WERE GOING STREAKIN'

Jim Basham · Post by **Jim Basham** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 8:13 am

You need to find a new place to stay

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 8:56 am

Jim,
I guess we will be raiding Lance & Dan's cooler. Also if you think I can drink beer just look at DL. He is a Coor's Light monger.

Jee wizz Thanks Jim. So you are saying the tournament director can stay. How nice of you to allow that.

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 2:19 pm

Thanks a bunch. DL would love the coor's delivery to be sure.

Damn looks like the camp cabins are full of drunks!

Lets see if lance and Dan can get faded so the rest of us have a chance. J/K guys

LOL! You have nothing to worry about. I still like the idea of getting us Faded though

I'll take a Vodka and Tonic with a lime.

Lance (SCFF Duplicate) · Sun Aug 30, 2009 6:02 pm

Hell Jeff after my drinking stunt last night your going to need a few cases of Hefinwisen, oh and only in bottles please

Ray L. · Post by **Ray L.** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 6:29 pm

I Will hand them out though. No booze on the boat during official pre fish or during the tournament.

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 4:40 am

Yeah.............that's right. All alcohol will be confiscated by me. The penalty for possesion will depend on the quality of the alcohol for example
Beer..................DQ
Good Beer..........maybe DQ'd
Quality Scotch....(no well scotch please)Severe reprimand
Patron...............two pound adder to total weight

Just kidding, you all know that alcohol of any kind in the boat during official tournament days, that includes official prefish days, is subject to disqualification. If you are caught with even empty containers in your boat during prefish you can loose your first days catch. Official prefish days are Thursday September 10th and Friday September 11th.

DO NOT DRINK AND BOAT!

Thank God the spotlight is on Jim now, now Dan and I can relax with a cold one

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:15 pm

Good for you Lance.........That's the way to look at it.

I'm glad it's not me because I would be working my big fat butt off prefishing, studying Topo maps, calling friends, looking for the next advantage. I admire you being able to sit back and relax like that. I would be worked up but I'm not as confident as you are, I know what Margarita can do.

Lance (SCFF Duplicate) · Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:23 pm

Ahhh but Beer masks blind confidence

JeffJ · Post by **JeffJ** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:27 pm

Maybe one day we can be as good as Lance and have that kind of confidence too. for now I have to do what John said and prefish my butt off! Guess I should drink more beer than.

Jeff.....Sorry I did'nt get back to ya....I am having major headaches with the home computer and the att was the right e-mail addy.

I don't think I'm going to far out on a limb here but personally:

I think everyone in this circuit is always gunning for YOU. You have come a long long way from the little geen Tri-hull days and I figure your team to win this thing. I know your heads in the game so just go out and execute and let the fish tell ya their story for that day. Things change but your time on the water and in the front seat should put you in the top. Go fish'n and have some fun while your at it.

Lance (SCFF Duplicate) · Fri Sep 04, 2009 6:16 pm

Ok so this is how it works. Beer is good because it builds confidence. I'm sure you all know that you'll do things while under the influence of "beer" that you other wise would'nt do normally. It hides masks worries and helps stress go away. So drink beer, feel confident....its very simple. So let me break it down further.

We all know that Jeff Jue is on them, that's no secret. His ability to adapt to changing fish is almost KVD like. Some say he was blessed by Mother Teressa herself, others say HE was one of the chosen few taken by space aliens and gifted with this ability. So, with this in mind....I drink Beer to get confident

Jim Basham is also on them and in a big way. But his stealthy pre-fish plan went over like spreading Chunky Skippy on Wonder bread. Never the less Jim is heading to Santa Margarita is his head held high and a swollen bag of confidence. So, with this in mind....I drink Beer to get confident.

So, I'm worried because of Jedi Master Jim and Ninja Jeff Jue....So I drink beer
