ROAD TRIP!! 2024

Bluebasser86 reply :

Since the cabin fever has clearly set in for some, time to start talking about the annual official, unofficial Bassresource road trip! It's going to be at Table Rock Lake, MO on April 21st and 22nd (but you can obviously stay longer if you'd like). I have a pretty good sized group of local KC area guys already planning on going, and I believe @roadwarrior @.ghoti. and possibly even @J Francho might be there. We'd be happy to have anyone that wanted to be there. Just want to put the idea in everyone's minds and give you something to get it your mind off the cold

And a couple pictures from our trip this previous spring to help your decision.

Most likely somewhere in the Kimberling City or Branson area. I usually stay in Kimberling City area.

This is right in my wheelhouse but I already have PTO planned for April 29th - May 4th to go to Table Rock with my wife. We do a Spring and Fall trip every year. It will be pretty difficult for me to get off the previous week also with the PTO I already have planned for 2018. I wish this had been posted a month ago.

Blue, those are some nice fish. Table Rock is a great place for the trip. We went at the beginning of May last year after a big rain and cold front. (At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. ) The fish had backed out to 20 - 30 feet off of points and ledges. We caught quite a few, but nothing as large as what you caught. Just to sweeten the pot a bit for those considering going, here's some pics from our Spring trip last year.

Only 6 hours away. The wife and i will definitely try to make this one!

papajoe222 reply :

I'm making this one for sure. Maybe Gary and I can ride share. Only question for me is; Do I take my boat?

Is anyone checking into lodging? If so, the sooner the better. I stayed at a resort last year that was, IMO, very reasonable for the mini-suite the wife and I stayed at. We booked for a week, but I believe they had daily rates also.

If you can bring it that would be great. I will have mine and several of my buddies will too but not sure how many open seats we will have.

I'm flexible with lodging. I've stayed at Schooner Creek Resort several times and been pretty happy with it and there's a ramp right there. I would be open to any suggestions though.

CroakHunter reply :

Even after offering my wife a full week of vacationing in branson, and me only fishing 1 day, I still got the death stare. Dang only about 5.5 hrs away.

AndrewJ reply :

I didnt bother asking the wife since its 30 hours away and 2000 miles haha

Quarry Man reply :

Can i go if i don't have a boat?

As long as someone has an empty seat for you. Don't want anyone driving there and not having a boat for them to hop into.

There's no reason why we couldn't have one down here.

These aren't site organized like they used to be.

I thought about bringing it up a few times to gauge interest but then forgot about it.

We usually have a KC area meet up every year at a local lake, it's always a good time. You just have to set a place and date and run with it.

It'd be good to get some feedback from some of the southeast members.

I'll make it to one of these one day!

papajoe222 reply :

Just a quick update:

As of my last communication with BlueBasser, we have 20 anglers committed to the trip. We’ve narrowed down lodging to two resorts. Both have their own launch, slips, some cabins have a private dock and one resort has boat rentals and allows pets.

If you’re on the fence, or thinking about making the trip, let us know as soon as possible.

roadwarrior reply :

I'm ready to rock!

J._Bricker reply :

I’d like to make it on one of these trips. Hope you all get on em and it’s a safe and successful trip!

Quarry Man reply :

I mentioned earlier that I am interested, just wanted to reiterate the fact, just in case...

dblades reply :

Unfortunately I already made plans to fish the FLW Costa tournament that weekend, maybe next year. Good luck and safe travel for all coming.
