Just a rumor but I heard Bass Traveler doesn't want you to show him up Gator, this being your home pond.....

That may be true - the last time I fished against him in a tourney he won - and I came in second - on HIS home pond. I may have a chance here

If my boat is done i'm in, otherwise I'll come by and bring some Hydrate2o and some VooDoo baits. Heck if graves can catch 3 fish for 62.5 lbs I ought to be able to catch 1.

, Have fun at the casino party, but watch out for that Dewayne fella. James ...your brave inviting this bunch to your house. Do yourself a favor and send the rest of your family down to your new resort for the day; or risk scaring them forever.

Merry Christmas,
Mike Tuck

Hydrate2o

Pray for rain!!!

The scary thing is - a purported bass fisherman from the Sandmound area of the Delta knows my home lake better than I do. Guess I need to get on the water more.

BTW Cooch, when you see me in "your area", don't worry, you'll be catchin them, I am just watchin

Unfortunately, it doesn''t look like I'm going to make it. My pancreatitis has kicked in again and I have personal issues at home, so I'm going to have to lay low for a few days. I know ya'll are going to have a great day. Just wish I could be there with you. Maybe next time. Stay safe and God bless ya'll.

Gator,

Could you give me a time line for the Pot luck. I going to bring a tall smoker to cook the Tri-tips on. It takes a few hours to slow cook'em and I want them done on time.

Is it like, snack after the first round. Then the Pot luck at the end?
Also is there going to be someone who can watch our stuff?

Thanks, Will Mathers

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 4:30 pm

Here is the planned timeline of events.

5:00 am til we are done - check in at Susie's cafe.
Safe light til 10:00 am - first session
10:00 - 10:30 - First weighin and partner pairings for 2nd session
10:30 - 1:30 pm - Second Session
1:30 pm til ??? Final weigh-in, potluck, awards, raffle, BS sessions, etc.

These times are subject to change at the whim of the crowd LOL. The plan is to be finished fishing at 1:30, with eating around 2:00.

We do not have anyone designated to watch over our things while we are out. If we have enough participants, I am going to fish solo and will only be on the water for about 2 hours each session. I think if we have a group of trucks/trailers with your smoker in the middle, we should be fine.

Gator,

Thanks for the info, Thats perfect. See ya at Susies.

Will Mathers.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 6:59 pm

Also, we are going to have an outstanding raffle.

Wadda jig packs, rods, reels, miscellaneous tackle, maybe even a Save Phace Mask!!

Tickets will be 1 for $1, 3 for $2, 9 for $5 or 20 for $10.

Let's raise some money for Sue McKnight and her family!!

Hipster · Post by **Hipster** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 7:33 pm

Gator,

What is the decided entry fee so to speak per person for the day that goes to Sue ?

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 7:37 pm

$10 per person

Calistar · Post by **Calistar** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:25 am

Bring your mittens! We've got a cold front moving in and blastoff on Saturday could be in the low 30's. That'll make for a chilly ride across the lake.

Greg,

Give me a holla. My phone dumped its address book

Dan Rechs · Post by **Dan Rechs** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:34 am

I'll be able to make it as a non-boater. I'll bring some cookies and some drinks. I had a blast last year, and I'm looking forward to it again. Good times.

Dan

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:41 am

I don't think it was the phones fault - that points more to user error

Greg,

Give me a holla.

Gary, you have a PM.

gt5bass · Post by **gt5bass** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:30 am

Got it, thanks.

Call ya shortly.

Official count? Do we know how many boaters and non boaters?

Thanks,

I'm not much of a cook so I'll bring some cookies for dessert.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:35 pm

Sean - As of right now we are at 14 boaters and 11 non. That is not counting me as a boater. I may fish with Scott, that way we can come in early for both sessions to do the weighin.

I think we are pretty balanced for participation right now. Always better to have a couple of extra boats then not enough. I am sure we will aslo have those who just show up for the event.

FYI - I was out at Folsom today (not fishing, just made a run out to check the ramp situation). We are going to be using the low water ramp. When you enter the gate, make the first right, at the intersection make a right, then make your first left and the road will take you to the low water ramp.

See you all at Susie's!!

Trace · Post by **Trace** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:55 pm

I'm bringing a boater and a non-boater, coffee and something to eat.
Gator, if you have a list and know what we need, let me know.
Is there electricity?
Looking forward to meeting the nutcases.
Trace

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 1:02 pm

I do not believe that there is any publicly available electricity.

kb · Post by kb » Thu Dec 14, 2006 1:28 pm

Gator:

I believe if we go up to the new ramp and the gazebo area there is plugs in the restrooms that we may be able to run extension cords out of. That way we are out of the mud and out of the way. Just a thought you are the boss.

Kent

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:04 pm

I figured we would go to the Gazebos after the final weigh in. We are going to do the first weigh in at the ramp so that everyone can get in and back out as quickly as possible.

I was unaware of power over there. I'll run back over this afternoon and confirm it.

Calistar · Post by **Calistar** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:55 pm

Gator,

definitely do check out the outlets there...if I remember right, they do exist...but they aren't always hot (make sure you plug something in).

mcsanders · Post by **mcsanders** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 3:11 pm

Gator,

I would like to participate as a non-boater.

I'm not much of a cook so I can bring a cooler of ice and a bunch of soft drinks or anything else that is needed that can be purchased. Just let me know if there is anything needed.

Thanks,

Mark Sanders

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 3:21 pm

Hey Mark -

Come on out and play. We are looking at about 30 people. Remember, this is a potluck, so there will be many different items. I would think a 3-4 loaves of french bread or garlic bread would be a good contribution.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 3:26 pm

There are outlets in the restrooms and they were hot as of today. I will bring a 50 foot extension cord and a power strip so those that are bringing hot plates will have something to use.

Also, I am bringing my camp stove and a 5 gallon propane tank. When the stove use is finished, I will hook up the 15K BTU propane heater!!

mcsanders · Post by **mcsanders** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 4:54 pm

French bread and Garlic bread it is.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Thanks,

Mark

If you are in need of a boat I will flip over, but I would feel bad for the guys that drew me. Let me know when I take you money Friday Night...

Heck Ken you should have been fishing with me and Rush, Reynolds, Skeet, Yelas when none of us had any money. We always knew where you could poach a little power without renting a room

Some old habits never die I guess

kb

Ken C. · Post by **Ken C.** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:55 pm

Actually Kent, I wish I had been there because now I'd know how to catch a fish!

Actually I can understand that scenario. Been there myself at one time. But Gator? In this day and age? With his multi-million dollar income from this website alone???

Marty · Post by **Marty** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:56 pm

Need a little help â€“ trying to decide if I should drive down the morning of or the night before. I figure it will take me 2 hours to make the drive and to be there at Susie's cafe by 5:00 am I would have to get up around 2:00 am. By the first weigh-in I will be ready to go back to bed.

What is the close hotel/motel to Susie's cafÃ©? If need be I will rough it at a Motel 6.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:21 pm

NOt in need of boats at the moment SOCB - I will have mine in reserve if needed. It may sit at the ramp with the cover on it if we have enough boats.

Ken - Won't even touch that one - I was responding to a request. That's it. I worry about your mind sometimes.

Mike - If you come out, I'll guarantee you the first session with KB. After hearing three hours about Tritons you'll wish you had made a different choice

kb · Post by kb » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:52 pm

Now don't go runnin my sponsor loyalty down there Mr. Gator. I am checking your sponsor list and find you have a face mask company....very appropriate

I think TNT is the Mexican place in Lakeport so you can drink and prefish all at the same time, it's a wonder you don't have Bushnell for that sponsorship. And now I see you have flylady.com. I hope that isn't your cross dressing ballet club that you have as a sponsor.

I know Seig had the Misty's and now I guess he needed a Sweaty so you got that one too

Cmon up Mike and we will spend the first 3 hours talking about how much money Tony is paying Gator.

See you there Lee and thanks for getting those shows up!

kb

Calistar · Post by **Calistar** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:00 pm

Marty,
I've done the reverse trip by leaving the Folsom area and driving down to Orwood. It can be done, but its brutal to get up that early. My buddy Scott has posted info about a couple of motels in this area that are boater friendly.

Heritage Inn - Roseville
Best Western - Roseville.

At that time of the morning, the commute from Roseville to Susie's is 15-20 minutes. Personally, I'd rather drive up the night before, sleep in a little longer, and not rush. Makes the day that much more enjoyable.

See ya Saturday,

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:26 pm

Its only about 1 1/2 hrs from brentwood isnt it??

Dewayne · Post by **Dewayne** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 6:40 am

About 1 hour 45 minutes. Give yourself 2 hours as Douglas Blvd can add some time.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 7:37 am

Hey Now - Not runnin it down - just statin a fact

Yes I have a face mask company - you oughta look into it, I hear you have a face made for radio.

Dan Rechs · Post by **Dan Rechs** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 8:27 am

What time are we suppose to meet at Susie's and what is the address?

Sorry, I've never been there.

Calistar · Post by **Calistar** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 8:59 am

The correct address is 8595 Auburn-Folsom Rd (as Mike said).

Its on the s/e corner of Auburn-Folsom Rd & Douglas Blvd (right behind the AM/PM).

Its about a 1/2 mile to the Granite Bay entrance from Susie's Country Oaks Cafe. There will be a "self registration" slot at the gate.
