With the thread doing reports on Clark's Hill, I thought there might be some interest in having a BassResource unofficial meet and greet. Of course do some fishing too. So does anyone have any interest in that?

What do you have in mind for this meet and greet. I defiantly sounds like a good idea. Sharing knowledge and meeting knew fishing partners is always a fun thing about the passion of fishing. Fall would be an excellent time
Yeah, I was thinking about a Saturday, just pick a central spot on the lake where we could meet up have lunch then go fishing after. That way those who wanted to fish the morning could, those who wanted to fish evening could, those who wanted to fish all day could. Just a couple hours early afternoon where we could put faces to namesand then split up to fish that afternoon. Could even do a bragging rights tourney or something. The guys in VA do something similar on lake Anna. I think those of us in SC and GA could do the same. With the road trip gone something like this would provide an opportunity to meet new ppl and tell lies about our fishing powers lol.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm in, just let me know when and where.
I just hope my work schedule don't interfere with when we get it planned out.
That would be fun. Have a just for fun tournament after lunch or before and meet up. Clarks hill is a blast to fish.

You going to plan this out for us Brother?
I could see if anyone in my club has an account here. I'd have to find someone to go with from here that has a boat to enjoy the fishing portion.
I don't have a big fancy bass boat but reliable and its not insured. I can bring it if I need to and anyone is welcome on it
Hey I'll split gas if that offers open. Lol
The way I see it is that if I'm going fishing anyways gas is my responsibility. Only things I ask for when someone tags along is drinks, tie your own lines, be open minded (because i'm a goof ball and like to have a good time) and willing to give me some info if you think you know were to catch the fish. lol
Well I will def have room on the pontoon if ya need a ride.
Oh trust me I'm open minded my best friend and I fish tournaments together a lot and we've had some pretty funny stuff happened. I don't mind it at all.

Sure I can plan, idk the lake at all just need a meeting place. I'll have my boat, I'll see if bassninja wants in, he may bring his boat between us that's room for two non boaters.
What month is everyone thinking?

Are we wanting to do this soon? I can't go in june.
I was doing some looking and it looks like theres a restaurant and marina on soap creek that might be a good option.
I vote sometime summer. July? Slow month for most jobs. Gives everyone plenty of time to plan and get everything situated.

Sounds good to me. I can get off for work as long as I give time in advance. July is fine with me or we could wait till fall when the fish start feeding pretty heavy. I'm happy with either just looking forward to meeting some new fishing buds and getting to go back to clarks hill
I've had my best luck on the lArger lakes like Clarks hill, hartwell, and lanier in the summer. But again depends on your style too.

Never fished bigger lakes in the summer. I'm down with anything.
Soap creek area sounds good to me. July time frame is good too, as of now.

IDK for sure, never ate there, had my boat docked at the marina couple of years ago, but never even noticed a restaurant. Looks like it opens at 11:30am.
July would work for me too, want to try for the second Saturday, July 11th? That work for most?

Sounds good to me but I can't promise I can make it. I just got offered a job and Im going to take it so I don't know what the schedule will be like. Do you want me to message all the regular BR guys in the SC and GA region? or just let them see this topic
We meet at soap creek landing in the morning shake hands, go fish, come back to soap creek everybody show there results for bragging rights, then grab some food. Then if anyone wants they can go back out fishing. What you think RETIREDBOSN

Yup, sounds good. Congrats on the new job BTW! You can invite if you want, we can repost this when it gets closer too. This is a good spot, there are 3 launches within the area, 2 of them free which are not at the marina, see map.
The 11th is fine with me also. No tournaments that weekend or work.

GA 43 is the one I used yesterday, its a single lane concrete probably enough parking for twenty. I'll check the other places out unless someone has used then before and can recommend one.
the 220 is where I always put in at, either one will work.
Got a request to do this on the 18th, does that work for you all? Also Brown Bear does the 220 ramp have a dock?

18th is good too, and yes it has a dock. its a smaller dock, but still a dock and free.
I would be interested.
ok cool!
18th is still good with me! Just don't change to the 31st please

With you checking in I think that's everyone who had said they'll attend, no more changes.. We'll plan on the 18th, the 220 landing on Soap Creek. What time?
Well here's some info for that day according to http://www.sunrisesunset.com:
Sunrise: 6:32am
Sunset: 8:40pm
Moonrise: 8:59am
Moonset: 10:14pm
I would say no later than 6:30am.
630 sounds good.
Ok sounds like meet at ramp between 6 & 630, go fishing meet back up at 1:00 compare notes, bs, eat lunch and afternoon up to each person.
For lunch I can pick up one if those 6 foot subs, or maybe bring a portable grill and do burgers. Which one do y'all prefer?
burgers and dogs.... lol
6ft sub!!!!!!!!??????? No way!!! Your kidding. I'm happy with anything and message me if you want me to bring anythingOn 4/18/2015 at 4:11 AM, retiredbosn said:Ok sounds like meet at ramp between 6 & 630, go fishing meet back up at 1:00 compare notes, bs, eat lunch and afternoon up to each person.

Yeah i think we could all kind of contribute. Either bring food or money to reimburse you.
Sounds like a plan to me, I'll bring a cooler with the burger and dogs, buns all that stuff. I like to grill so I can handle that part if that's agreeable, just bring your favorite drinks, I'll handle the rest. So next question who needs a ride and who has a boat? I'll have my boat there.
I don't need a ride per say but if anyone wants to car pool it'd be a lot easier.
I'll be bringing my boat. I believe allterrainangler will be fishing with me if you still want.
you don't stay anywhere close to the savannah river do you. I have a 2 hour drive and gonna follow the river all the way up. Anyone that needs a ride I'm willing to pick up.On 4/18/2015 at 7:56 AM, AllTerrainAngler said:I don't need a ride per say but if anyone wants to car pool it'd be a lot easier.

I'm in still! I'll give you some money for gas of course.
I just bought a new, well new to me, bass boat, and don't really know anyone around here that like to fish. So if anyone wants to ride and fish with me that's fine as well.
Hey I travel up that way a lot. Not just for this one occasion. So if you ever just need a fishing buddy I'm here! I'll split costs with you.

Sounds good brother. I'll definitely hit you up. Fishing for me is more enjoyable with a buddy.

Bad news. Since I have a new job my scheduler isn't the same and I will be working that whole weekend and every weekend for the next 2 months.

So did the meet and greet ever happen?
I was there, as like I am with most weekends, but no one else was.
Any interest in giving this another go? New to the area and wouldn't mind meeting a few other anglers and picking up some local know how.
I would be able to around end of May.
