:D WELL!!???
I am not known to sit around on my hands and do nothing when something stirs me UP!!!

I put it out there a few days ago about it and got 3 response ! OK , So?

SO ? Now This ! As I see it, nothing gets done unless some one makes the first move, and I guess that will be me !

As a participant of past summer rallies and able to thoroughly enjoy the events since the first one i went to in 2000. I fail to see why such and event needs to go by the way side just because it's hard work to put on or some don't have the time to get involve, BULL!!!!!!

We all find the time to do what we enjoy doing, even if it means to put ourselves out. I am amazed on how much effort you will make to go fishing or camping or to stock car races or what ever it is that is your passion or fun event. BUT ! a lot of you will gladly sit around and watch other's do it if we just want to go out and join in the fun !

Yes I know it has turned into just a weekend were a bunch of guy's join in for a fun couple of days of fishing at Clear Lake.

If that is were it's going to stay for ever OK ! but I don't Think That Is Really True ! I believe that some people got burned out from doing all of the work year after year and the commitments that the host hotel got stiffer and harder to deal with and finally those who were doing it all said that's enough and hung it up !? Perhaps the Host got a little to greedy on there part !? Ya Think !?

I know that I have gone out on a HUGE LIMB HERE BY STEPPING IN AND OPENING MY BIG MOUTH :roll: :oops: :shock:

The Easy Part ! I am willing and able to make the effort to check out the various marinas, tackle shops and Host Hotels to see if I can get sponsors for the event ! And considering the state of the economy, I am willing to bet they would just about come unglued to jump in and help !?

I am not going to do this alone, I will be asking for help and do expect it from of you on Western Bass to join in !!!!

Also, I am willing to make the 75% commitment to stay with it and work the event to make sure all who join in to come out and have fun by being there ! come away from it saying it was well worth it !

If YOU think it is worth the effort and especially the owners and sponsors of WESTERN BASSS ARE WILLING TO DO THIS THEN I WILL DO MY PART TO DO THE HARD STUFF TOO!! :)
I have done events like this in the past and know what the commitment involved is all about !

SO NOW I HAVE BUT IT OUT THERE, AND I WILL WAIT TO HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU!!! IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS WORTH DOING THEN, FINE, LETS PUT IT TOGETHER AND HAVE A SUMMER NUT CASE RALLY IN THE DELTA. IF YA ALL DON'T THEN FINE TO, AND I WILL LET IT ALONE AND IT WILL JUST BE A FUN WEEKEND FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO GET TOGETHER AND FISH THE LAKE.

I BET I CAN GET A 100 PLUS BOATS IF YOU DO :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
AND IF I CAN' OH WELL NOTHING THAT IS NOT WORTH DOING WELL , IS NOT WORTH DOING AT ALL !
See Ya !

Guy,
I'm relatively new to this forum and are not familiar with the nut case rally -> can you post what kind of event you are planing (fun fishing, entry fees, how many days, team event, ...)?
Thanks,

Kratzer,

Considering all of the fun you would have, It should be considered "To Be Illegal" but sense it's not, and you would be there first hand to join in the merry making, fishing, more merry making, more fishing, win a prize or two, did I say anything bout fun and merry making ? I forgot ?? :mrgreen:

OH YEAH, Fun and Merry Making and fishing for TOP NUT< BIG NUT>ODD NUT :roll: :lol: :twisted: get a chance to match the face to the name of those of us who have been lurking around this site for all of these years, more fishing and stuff. A lot of Back Slapping, good eats, lots of fun and games. Plus other dubious stuff just lurking around the corner !? :roll: :wink: :P

All of this at a really low cost, should just be about free, considering all of the fun you would have by being there, Lot's cheaper than taking a family of four out for a dinner to, let's say Jack In The Box ? With a stop at Cold Stone's after, thrown in !

Last time I was there, a 16 year old young lady, put on a fishing show on the back of my boat, with my borrowed fishing stuff, talk about embarrassing :oops: :roll: :lol:

Then there was the time a certain fisherman, who is a pro !! hooked up with a dock fish and fell in!!!! He Who Shall Be Unnamed :roll: :P
Lots more story's to tell, you will just have to wait till :D next time kiddies :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

For those who asked , here it is again, although a lot of good it seems to have done, from the sounds of the deafening silence it has caused from the new site owners.

Pissed off, you bet your Pippy I am :evil: Seems like no one wants to commit, but give it lip service, oh well a grand idea down the drain.

So now we have a site that is all about who can type and post the most information on bass fishing and other info. fancy pop-up advertising that just about drives me off the chair and color full grand chat sites that no one visits. Hey don't get me wrong , I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for Cooch, sTony, Ash and the other mods, but IMO any hard stuff gets thrown out with the trash.

Probably get banned for life after this :mrgreen:

see ya in the funny papers kiddies. :wink: :lol:

Clear Lake is still the best site for a rally. ie lodging, boat slips, event hall, parking, RV sites. I hope to make it this year too. Thats if it happens.

Guy,
They won't ban you. They need all the 'users' they can get. I'm working for an internet website startup and the constant mantra is 'Keep the users you have, and get as many more as you can.'
Which makes this rather strange. Why wouldn't Westernbass want to put on the Rally?
This would do a great deal of good to retain their current user base and open up the possibility of a whole slew of new users.
And why aren't the Sponsor clammering for this to happen? They get a shot at presenting their products to a captive and very interested audience.
A Rally seems like a great opportunity for Westernbass and all of it's sponsors. I guess that's why I don't own a business. I'm just not as smart as these guys.
Does baffle me though.

Tough times, plain and simple. Regardless, sTony tried to put the last one together as a slimmed down version, but unfortunately participation waned as I understand.

I think we could certainly pull off a Delta rally this year, and there are many attractive reasons to do so as opposed to Clear Lake. First and foremost, there are two really good locations for some social gatherings within minutes of Bethel Island (Cooch's place and mine!). There are great facilities for RV and camping (Russo's, Sugar Barge, etc...), and angler-friendly lodging within 15 or 20 minutes as well (Comfort Suites has an angler's rate, and someone could probably work something out with the Hampton Inn I'd bet).

Given that the spawn is so late this year, I'm thinking the fishing should be off the hook about the time of the traditional Rally, and with the hospitality of Russo's, breadth of the Delta in general, and proximity for many of the NCAL and Central Cal anglers it would be easier on the travel budget than Clear Lake. Also, many of the So Cal Nutcases seem to make it up here pretty frequently, so I'd bet there are more than a couple who would show up.

If someone could work with the sponsors to see what small contributions they would be willing to make, I'm sure enough could be put together to make it an attractive means to maintain the tradition.

I'd be up for helping out some myself, and certainly up for hosting folks for a fun gathering. It would sure be nice to see a bunch of the Nutcases I haven't seen in ages, as well as meeting a bunch of new faces.

I vote aye!

Hello Guy and GUYS!!!

Think we could get a date figured out. It would help with getting people organized and to try to fit a NUTCASE EVENT into play.

I have not been to one and I know a bunch of my friends have not but would LOVE to put a face with a name or boat....

I really would like to make it to one of these....

The Rally is an interesting concept. Here's some history on them. They really started on the internet with the Texas Rally. Other places started doing them in time. It was mostly folks that met on the net wanting to plan a get together so people could put faces to names and get to meet the folks they were spending so much time with online. The Texas Rally was mostly folks from the Bass Fishing Home Page. It spawned others. TopCat from Utah came to one of our little Nutcase Clasics and convinced us we were a step away from being a full blown Rally, so we did it, made up a Western Rally that was based around the users of what was then NCBF.com.

All these rallies were never really put on by the websites, but by the users of the site. The only place where that varied was here, on Westernbass.com, where at some point it became the sole duty of the guy that ran the website to do these events. I spent a lot of my own money to do the events. I reached a point where I simply couldn't afford to do that anymore. Rallies are a lot of hard work when it comes down to just one or two people putting them on. They didn't start that way, but they all eventually boiled down to a couple few people working very hard all year long to put together an event that less and less people were coming to attend.

That's why they basically disappeared.

As I understand it, a gathering of about 15-20 folks will be getting together this weekend in Texas for a BBQ and such. A reunion of sorts for the Texas Rally. Was once a time when that Rally drew well over 150 people. Same goes for the Western Rally. The last year we ran it we had 20 or so people turn out for it.

I would attend anything that comes together provided I'm not already committed.

Thanks to all who responded to my question. As I see it, IMHO The Delta would be the best place to hold a event, due to the short time and notice (((((((WE))))))))) would have to put on and get sponsors for it. Plus with a short notice the legal work (Permits & Such) would need to be taken care of rather quickly. Then there is the other thousand other little thing that need to be done as well, all so a bunch of people can get together and have fun and fish !!

So much for that, NOW for this !! SO FRIGGEN WHAT!!!!!!!!!?????????? As I have said and posted before, It's all about commitments RIGHT, MY point exactly !!!!! If ya all don't want to join in for the fun and games (GO SUCK ICE) Every one likes to have fun but make little or no effort to do any thing about it, sort of the hen who makes bread out of wheat!!

I put it out there, I am willing to do the lions share of the leg work, working with the locals, mods, and people here to put it up or shut up!!!

If I can not get the commitment of say 50 boaters ( that's about 100 participants ) then It wont get off the ground under its own weight. There are more that 1000 of you who post regular like on this web site

As to date and time, that can be discussed later, this is not a money tournaments a lot of guy's and gal's who are just in it for the bucks won't be there. Then there are the folks who work on the weekends, there out ! Then there are others who just won't fish it cause it's the wrong location ( Not Clear Lake ) maybe next time, or those who have a commitment to something else the chosen weekend. Crap ! ya can't please every one !!!

I am just looking for 100 or so who just want to go out and BE A NUT CASE RALLY NUT CASE :lol: 8) :lol: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :D and not spend a lot of money doing it ! hell I just dropped about $300.00 on a two day club tournament in Shasta so I could freeze my butt off in the rain as a non boater :twisted: :wink: I would think we could get more interest than that !

When (say July August or Sept) you pick ! Cost ? bout $75.00 or so bucks plus your own expenses and it ya got some left over for side pot's or not, it's cool. It's as easy as that !!! if it 's done by committee on Western Bass OK !!!! My point is to have it !! not talk it to death !!! Like i said, I will try my darndest to help all than I can to make it go, You of Western Bass can do the rest !!!!!

The way I see it, I am doing it for you anyway and too me it's no big deal, just some effort on my part and some commitment's on yours !!!

Now I will just stand here and wait to hear from you all !!! ,The Three Mod's all ready said what they are willing to do. Who will step up next ? LL's ?

It's up to you of Western Bass !!!! to make it worth while for your self's or not !

I'm getting back into fishing and would love to fish a nutcase event. Fished them way back when but left fishing due to kids. Count me in as a non-boater if there is room.
Using Eileens old logon as I sent an email to the site admin to reset mine and update my email but he did hers instead. Hopefully he can get mine rest and I will once again be a "Nutcase" Miss all of you nutcases and can't wait to see some of you. Take care!

SO - I was finally able to hook up with Kyle and discuss the permit issue for this event, and he was gracious enough to agree that this event does not require a permit! There are a few details to work out, so stay tuned here for the specific details.

As previously mentioned, I've already put together a signup page, and am ready to start taking information for those who are planning to attend.

Just for reference, we are planning to hold the event on Saturday, July 16th, out of Russo's on the Delta. Hopefully most of the boaters can also sign up for the Pro Teen event the day after, and those non-boaters are very welcome to help out on land, as there is always a lot to do. Contact Cooch if you are at all interested and available!!!

Here's a link to the signup page:

http://www.tunaman.org/web/Summer_Nutcase_Signup.htm

Please get your entries in as soon as possible so that we can guage how the boater/nonboater ratio may be.

Looking forward to this event - it WILL be GOOD TIMES!!! :D

Sorry you're so socially popular and this date doesn't work for you this time around! This was really the best solution, so that we can hopefully have some extra boats and help for the Pro Teen event... should make for a great weekend.

The signups have started to come in, so please be sure to get yours in as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly. If you know some of the shy Nutcases who don't frequent the site as much as some, please let them know about this.

The fishing should be off the hook, and it is shaping up to be one of, if not the, absolute best Nutcase events ever! Come out and be a part of it.

For convenience, I'm going to edit the post and put the link to the sign-up, along with the Pro Teen signup, at the top of this post for those who don't want to weed through to find 'em.

The entries are trickling in, so keep 'em coming!

For clarification, there are no entry fees for this event - this Nutcase is free for one and all, aside from the launch fee at Russo's. Scott Dipman said he was going to perhaps take care of some, not sure if that offer is still on the table or not, but at worst it will cost $10 for those who don't have an annual launch pass at Russo's.

That, and whatever contributions everyone decides to make for the pot luck of course!

For those who are going to be in town, I'll be hosting one of our infamous social gatherings on Friday night so everyone can have a good hangover on Saturday! :shock: :oops: :lol: :D I'll likely put a big brisket on the Traeger and let it go for a good 24 hours, and we'll have plenty of other munchies, adult beverages, and non-alcoholic drinks for those who are hungry and/or thirsty.

Alright - Marty suggested getting the food list together, so chime in if your coming as to what you plan to bring!

I'll likely have plenty of leftover apetizers from the night before, and depending upon how many show up and how hungry everone is, I may have some brisket left over to contribute. If not, I'll pick up a bunch of Red Hots and buns - heck I'll bring some of them even if we have some brisket also!

I'll likely have a cooler of drinks also, and whatever else the wife can put together!

I can not at this time fully commit to the Rally - But if I can at a later date I will bring some home made Bean's or a Pasta salad and some fresh fruit good for alot of BrothaH's and SistaH's. DeltaLuke has a swim meet that date that I really want to see.

For the Pro-Teen I may boat... or see if a Bro needs a boat - because he was really missed last year from the Pro-Teen from not having a boat (Stickbait) .... And I will again work in the background.

DeltaLuke will not be fishing in the PT this year as he has some extenuating circumstances that make it really tuff for him to fully participate in.

Sorry Scott - good point and I conveniently forgot that little detail! :oops:

Hopefully we have a bunch of our boaters that decide to take you up on your generous offer - fortunately for you, I just purchased my season launch pass for Russo's a week ago! :D

Glad to see your entry - thanks. We've got to catch up my friend - it has been far too long!

If we have it back to back with the "PRO TEEN", Cooch usual has the Pro meet up with the teens around 1 to 3 pm the day before – just something to think about!

Yeah, already talked with him a bit about it, and I think the benefit outweighs the conflict. We should be able to get everything done early enough to be able to combine the efforts, and it will be a great opportunity for the teens to see and participate in the social environment which is the Nutcase! Also, hopefully we can time the weigh in, or final weigh in, so that any of the early birds can observe and get fired up for the following day's activities. Once Dan mentioned the idea, the potential started to really become obvious and I believe there is great synergy with overlaping the activities.

I'm just hoping Coochie can come out to play with us on Saturday - that is the only drawback I've been facing.

Either way I will make both, by the way I have my season launch pass too. You have to check out the hats I have for this year.

Cool - can't wait to see you my Brotha! Don't forget about the Happy Hour on Friday!!!

I just got off the phone with Coochie, and I think we can get it set so that he can come play with us as well, and he was supportive of the ideas I have for the logistics. This should be a great weekend - just need to get some more of the Nutcases to send in their registrations!!! Don't wait folks - get 'em in so we can account for you!

And for those boaters who are doing the Nutcase and Proteen, get your sign-ups in for both and Scott will cover your launch fees!

Using Eileens old logon as I sent an email to the site admin to reset mine and update my email but he did hers instead. Hopefully he can get mine rest and I will once again be a "Nutcase" Miss all of you nutcases and can't wait to see some of you. Take care!
