Noodle Fest 2

[RB]

OK, get serious for a minute and post if you are coming or not. The location will prolly be the one fish suggested. August 18th with an 9 or so am departure, unless you want to launch early. At this point I am in and sounds like roscoe, fish and dmr are too. Let's get a count and then figure out the vittles.

Highjack....Anyone got a picture of Fish so I can hunt his donkey down today at Bennett?

[Roscoe Dog]

It would be worth the money just for the pleasure of drinking a beer with ME.

[Roscoe Dog]

Just keep yelling FISH and when you get an answer thats him. Other people will just think you are seeing a fish.

[Duck Me Runnin]

First of all, I'd like to thank those that performed my "serious consideration" for me.

Fish, you know me better than that. I ain't about to paint a whiskerfish with the same brush I'd use for a duck.

Truth be told, I'd mostly show up to see everybody, and have a good time. ( which would happen, fish, or no fish )

Unless anniversary plans toss a wrench into the gears, I'll be there.

BTW,

I think a few bank lines should be set on Sat. evening, and checked early Sun' morning.

[RB]

dmr, pm your way bro. Bank lines would be good.

[fish]

90 A - I'd be the one today in cutoffs and a MO R Outfitters camo hat an you won't see me wif a fly rod



Bank poles !?!?!? = good idea

[Outdoorsfool]

We're probably 50/50 at this point, as I've promised bait catcher we'd hit the state fair Saturday. It will depend on what the general itenerary is going to be. If it's noodling Saturday only and camping, then packing up Sunday we probably won't be able to make it. But if you all are going to be playing around Sunday and we can get back to JC area before dark and get taxi service to the sandbar we can probably make it down later Saturday evening for some bank fishing and noodling on Sunday. Y'all decide and then we'll make it if we can.



Fish - Did you "harvest" your limit of troots?

[Tigerhaze]

I'm going to try and make this. My only holdup is that I am working days, nights, and weekends right now to complete a major project at work. It should be done by then, so I would think it would work out.

If it works out, I would be able to bring my river boat and a fair amount of camping/cooking gear as needed. Fishing gear and frosty beverages go without saying.

ODF - Four slicks are "resting" in the fridge even as we speak

Going on the river tomorrow and Sunday and we'll make a close inspection of the place. Oh and listen for train noise also.

[Outdoorsfool]

fish - The way I figure it, train noise is a plus...it helps to drown out PS's bullchit!

[fish]

Checked out the island again yesterday and it looks good to go. Good bank fishing to be had off the lower end and lots of drift wood for camp fires. Need to get there in the AM to stake a claim cuz if it is a sunny day the "scenery" starts showing up about noon Much better up here than NH, scenery that is There were 6 parties(not the throwdown types) on the island yesterday. Didn't look like any were camping out tho



ODF - Train noise insufficient. I'll bring duct tape



Oh Catfish were biting good on crawlers and shad. That is all.

fish, how deep are you running the jug lines up there? Are the hotdogs being productive?

[fish]

Only ran them a couple of times so far but we'll floating them again sometime this week. Been catching eater sized blues on hot dogs but I'd rate it slow. R&R fishing has been excellent. Got two stagings on the noodles, 3' and 5' deep. Don't seem to make any difference to the fish tho.

[Warmouth]

How are you setting up the rods? Are you anchoring and fishing on the bottom or just floating and tightlining at a set depth?
