Title: 2018 FLBR Classic!!
Post by: Capt. BassinLou on May 14, 2018, 01:56:03 PM
Yes.... I know, I'm early to bring this up, but I have my reasons.

It's that time fellas. Where we going this year?

If you are new to this process, this is the time of year all interested participants come together and we discuss where we are holding the Classic. The FLBR Classic, besides being a blast, is the only time through out the year that we level the playing field, come together, and fish one body of water. For 2 days we battle it out for the FLBR Classic Title.  Boater's and Non-boaters are welcome. (If you would like to participate you will need to be an active FLBR participant and have competed for at least 60 days up to the event)

Keep in mind, Central FL is the ideal region, this way, driving for most participants doesn't have to be too long.

For now, I would like to narrow down location and October dates.

My choice: (Location): Lake Kissimmee  (Date: ) Oct 6&7  (Boater or Non-Boater: ) Boater

What say you?

Your post made me happy! Then it made me sad cause it's in October.

My Choice: (Location) Istokpoga  (Date:) Oct 6-7  Non-Boater


Just cause I want to change it up.  ~beer~

Back to Grape Hammock works for me. I'll have a backseat open, but want Chris to have first dibs.

Staying on the lake is the simplest but I'm up for Toho, Harris, Stick Marsh or somewhere on the St Johns if we can get lodging with a few miles (<10-15)  of a ramp.

Rick, Istokpoga sux!!! I hate the sand bar out to 100 yards off shore that surrounds that lake.

If Walt participates, I'm pressuring him, he will have a backseat open.

Went there season before last. Day after a hurricane. That sucked the fishing sucked day 1. But day 2 we found them. I like the lake. But the cabins at Kissimmee are nicer.

So I'm flexible with either place.

The way things are looking I won't have a boat by the Classic so I'll just have to back seat on lous boat again and out fish him. ;)

Bunk that! I'm going for it, serious fishing with Barry as skipper. We're going 1-2, and I'm throwing big baits after the limit like Barry showed me, so the rest of you can compete for third. If you need a party barge skipper, I see that the Bassing Bartender may be bringing his MudPuppy, and since he's not rally eligible, he can motor around with the beer cooler.  lo lo ~beer~ ~beer~

Back seater has its disadvantages, but not so much with Barry. You know I'm going for #1. There's no bikini portion in this competition, so I guess you'll have to settle for third...

Cheap shot... LOL but funny.

Yes he has space for a log or two. FD has the biggest boat in the tourney. He can also get you from one side of the lake to the other in 2.5 seconds. I think he has hyperdrive on that thing.

True statement. No matter where that tree is, I will find it, and I will catch it.


BTW that's how we shallow water anchor on Lou's boat. I cast, catch the tree, tie the braid to his cleat in the back cut my line and tie another hook on. lol, we use one rod specifically for this purpose.

When Lou goes to sleep i put a layer of towels at the bottom of his rooms door to keep the Wookiee sounds from escaping.
LOL!

Then I walk to the other side of the cabin close my door and put a towel at the bottom of mine for added sound dampening.

Then I put on noise canceling head phones and play sounds of rain.

All this helps with the Wookiee sounds.

You should try it with Chris. Lol

Just remember everyone, if you are considering joining us for the Classic, now is the time to make your accommodations. They have plenty of options available.

If $$ is tight, now's the time to really participate on  the FL board and get to know everyone, make some friends and that can help split the costs.

Bunk that! I'm going for it, serious fishing with Barry as skipper. We're going 1-2, and I'm throwing big baits after the limit like Barry showed me, so the rest of you can compete for third. If you need a party barge skipper, I see that the Bassing Bartender may be bringing his MudPuppy, and since he's not rally eligible, he can motor around with the beer cooler.  lo lo ~beer~ ~beer~


The problem with this plan is that by 10:30 in the morning the Mudpuppy will be riding around in circles,  wide open at 7 MPH,  and most of the beer will be gone.

Title: Re: 2018 FLBR Classic!!
Post by: Capt. BassinLou on June 12, 2018, 07:35:47 PM
Since Barry brought up reservations. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you are remotely thinking about joining us for the Classic, pick up the phone and reserve a trailer or a cabin as soon as possible. If for what ever reason you can't make it, call Grape Hammock the week of the Classic and cancel. But at least reserve now instead of running around trying to figure out where you going to be sleeping for 2 nights.
Title: Re: 2018 FLBR Classic!!
Post by: BarryFL on June 12, 2018, 07:44:25 PM
And I'll add, they don't require a deposit or credit card number to make the reservation.

Y'all are right, the mattress is pretty much suck but I can sleep most anywhere. Guess it's from my military career... Never stand when you can sit, never sit if you can lie down, and never stay awake if you can sleep because you never know when your next chance might be.

Looking forward to seeing the normal crowd and LMG drunk asleep in the bushes.

Didn't realize you and Chris were going to wear onsies as well.

LMG and Martin are literally the sideshow regardless lol. They aren't part of the competition since they don't compete in FLBR.

On the bright side, Lou and I won't be the slowest boat coming out of Grape Hammock that weekend LOL!

I'm sorry to inform everyone that I won't be able to make the classic. We just moved from the RV we've been living in since the fire, and the place we got (on the Withlacoochie River) has left the budget very very tight for the next six months. Barry, you're gonna have to kick their rumps without me.
Hopefully, I can get this river figured it and I won't need the classic to get AOY.

Sorry you can't make it this year Chris. You will be missed. I didn't know you had been effected by a fire. First time I hear of it. Hopefully you can attend next year.

Sorry Chris, I also wasn't aware of the fire situation. It's too bad you can't make it, but it's completely understandable. Good luck with the new place and hopefully we get to see your around for the next one.

Over the last few weeks, I have been getting my baits ready for the Classic. For example, loaded up on a pretty good sized order from Bitter's few weeks ago. Thanks again for the tip last year Lee.  ;) My boat is headed to to the mechanic in a couple of weeks for a few things to ensure its in good working order for Lake Kissimmee. Lastly, just ordered an assortment of nice looking frogs to make up for my depleted cache and these don't even count for the LT's have to replace.  ~roflmao

Can you tell I'm looking forward to the Classic!!  ;D  ~cf
Title: Re: 2018 FLBR Classic!!
Post by: SFL BassHunter on July 29, 2018, 04:44:37 PM
Yeah I've been getting my Kissimmee baits ready too. Got them bitters baits, and some new frogs to replace the torn up, mangled ones that those everglades bass have been hammering.
Couple new secret weapons will be deployed at the classic as well.  ~bb

Post by: Deadeye on July 29, 2018, 04:57:51 PM
The Classic is on my mind as well.

I had a failure of my boat cover and everything got good and soaked. I spent this morning going through it and setting out stuff to dry, including bags of baits.

New cover is installed along with a box fan on low to keep the air moving for a bit. Cool thing is the new cover has Vents made into it to allow moisture to escape.

Once I repack everything I'll have a better idea of what I will or will not need by October.

So did we settle on Who's Bringing What for the Evening Meals?

I think it started with Barry saying he would provide Friday Night's Meal again, then Someone said they'd do Saturday, then Martin said he'd do a night, then I don't know.

I'll bring whatever we will need, but don't see the need for 3-4 guys all planning to do the same meal.

So where we at on Food?

Great questions Fred. I think when we are 2 weeks out from mtg we can narrow down food. "Stuff" can still happen this far out and we can have more or less people attending.

I think he would confuse the TSA but if it's a small enough printer it should fit in a carry on. But he would have to check the ink or throw it away.

Oh I don't know about that Lip. Our First Classic a Major Cold Front blew in on Saturday night dropping the temps into the 40's if I remember correctly.

Luckily I always keep a sweatshirt in the SUV, so I had that to put on. It went from 80's and beautiful Sunshine to dark clouds and blowing. The Lake went from fairly calm to "oh hell no I'm not going out there".

The Day 1 Leader quit fishing early to "save his fish" thinking he would go back and do the same on Day 2. They hit the Lake and turned around.

I would, but I have too much fun just fishing for whatever I feel like at the time. It kind of trapped me into spending the possible only 2 times a month I might get to fish targeting bass. Felt like I was back in fishing tournaments, and there was the reason I stopped.

Hi all,

I think I will be able to attend the classic at least for Friday & Saturday. I know I probably won't win unless Rick lends me a tree bass

Anyone have room in cabin I can split cost. If not, I'll just rent a trailer at the camp.

Hey Lou,

Since LMG and Martin are not really competing in the FBR Classic and are just coming along to fish, what do you think about inviting ANYONE from UB that wants to join us to come along? Maybe they could do a separate tx, or just Fish for the Fun of it.

This could be the Start of a Fall UB Rally that us FBR Guys compete for Our Club and Everyone competes for the Fun Fish Trophy. What ya think?

OOOH I like! Maybe that is something that can expand regionally, there will be multiple UB rally's, and UB members can plan their calendars and vacation time around fishing the bass hotspots of the US.

I could see UB being the next BASS club without all the tournament focus, more like BASS for the average bass angler, focusing on fishing and camaraderie, with Mike being the next Ray Scott  :-*

I like the idea, however,  keep in mind there is already a Fall Rally in place at Guntersville. Unfortunately that event will not take place this year and our FLBR Classic coincidently   has always been held during the same time as the Guntersville Fall Rally. I would like to keep the grassroots of the Flbr classic in place, but I'm not opposed if a Non-FLBR member chooses to be part of our gathering and enjoy Lake Kissimmee at the same time we compete amongst ourselves.

Hey Lou,

Since LMG and Martin are not really competing in the FBR Classic and are just coming along to fish, what do you think about inviting ANYONE from UB that wants to join us to come along? Maybe they could do a separate tx, or just Fish for the Fun of it.

This could be the Start of a Fall UB Rally that us FBR Guys compete for Our Club and Everyone competes for the Fun Fish Trophy. What ya think?
We could call it "The Hurricane Club". People could come from all over the country and have a 40% chance to be in the middle of a hurricane.

Josh just texted me (the preferred method of communication of my millennial children) and wants to fish tomorrow. So we're going to Grape and poke around for a few hours before the storms roll in.

As our Classic count down continues, besides the individuals I mention below, is there anyone else considering joining us on Kissimmee in October?

So far we have the following members joining us:

1. FD
2. Deadeye
3. Cport
4. TRFL
5. WTodd
6. Rchuiz
7. SFL Basshunter
8. BassinLou
9. LMG
10. Count Bassula

Have I missed anyone?

I'm planning on joining as well.  I may not be in the Classic but I do want to come and fish, drink, hang out, drink, hang out.  Kinda a vacation, with no pressure of having to catch fish; just casual fishing I guess.

PoPo Attention ALL FLBR Participants PoPo

We will be having a FLBR Classic Meeting on Fri night. After dinner. More than likely it will be held over in my trailer. We will be discussing a few points I would like to cover and go over. I will be going over the entire FLBR Classic itinerary from Start (Saturday a.m.) to Finish (Sunday p.m.) I want EVERYONE 
to be on the same page. This year will be different, from the sense that we will be having several FL UB members amongst us enjoying the weekend fishing and hanging with us, and I want to make sure all FLBR participants do not miss out on important announcements.

If their are discussion points anyone wants to go over and talk about, please write them all down and we will discuss them AT the Classic. NOT on this thread.

2 weeks from tonight, boat will be parked in front of the cabin and I'll be developing a plan for pre-fishing on Friday.

Probably have a beverage or three with Chris and Walt, too.

May even do a little night fishing.

Barry I plan to be there Thursday afternoon as well. Leaving for the Hammock when I get back from the Drs and get everything loaded.

I still got a couple of packages of Venison Hamburger, you guys interested in me bring some to cook up for Thursday Night Dinner? If so how many plan to be there so I know whether to bring 1 or 2 packs.

Oh and for the record if I haven't already said so, my SIL isn't able to come so I will have a back set open if anyone wants to go along.

I kid, but here is some interesting info. Because of the embargo, there are mostly American classics in Cuba, according to this:

From 1950-1958 the number of cars in Cuba more than doubled – from 70,000 to 167,000. Although there is no definitive number as to how many classic American cars roam the Cuban streets today, there were still 60,000 in working order as of 2004.

Known as "cacharros," or less commonly as "bartavias," many Chevy Bel Airs from the 1955-1957 era (Tri-Five) – albeit with Frankensteined parts with European roots – have come to represent the time capsule that is Cuban transpiration thanks to its distinct tail fin, tri-colored body and chrome accents which were all popular a half-century ago.

According to Autoblog, "the Chevy Bel Air is the king of the road here [Cuba], by some margin."

From 1950-1958 the number of cars in Cuba more than doubled – from 70,000 to 167,000. Although there is no definitive number as to how many classic American cars roam the Cuban streets today, there were still 60,000 in working order as of 2004.

Known as "cacharros," or less commonly as "bartavias," many Chevy Bel Airs from the 1955-1957 era (Tri-Five) – albeit with Frankensteined parts with European roots – have come to represent the time capsule that is Cuban transpiration thanks to its distinct tail fin, tri-colored body and chrome accents which were all popular a half-century ago.

According to Autoblog, "the Chevy Bel Air is the king of the road here [Cuba], by some margin."

From what I have been told, when people go visit the island, they feel they have gone back in time with all the antique cars that are out on the road.

The weather during the classic has always been a  crap shoot. We have had major cold fronts blow through as well as hurricanes. But like you said Walt, let's see what's in store for us in the middle of next week.

Wind is your friend. Creates current. Current draws bait. Bait draws fish.

Seriously, at least the east side should be fishable.

Wind is a great friend to certain boats with the right equipment. For other types of boat, wind can be a real pita. My little tin and winds above 15kts makes for some real interesting fishing.

High winds on Kissimmee is hell. I have never seen rollers on fresh water before until LMG and I fished the first Classic. Cold front blew through the night before the Classic. Winds were 25-30. I will leave the rest to your imagination. Lol!!

Sure is. I remember that Classic with Chris leading the first day and left good fish to save them for the  next day. That Front moved in about 10:00 that night and you could feel the change it was so dramatic.

The next day the lake was so rough that Chris tried it but turned back. I don't think he caught another fish the 2nd day.

I remember coming out of the Camp Cut and as soon as I saw the waves I said "hell no" in my 14 ft boat. Fished the canals and hit one pocket that held 4 fish that bit right before I had to leave (jeanne and I and brought the dogs and we had to check out due to someone wanting our cabin).

Those 4 fish won me the First Classic.

How about we go "old style" and start a Who's Bringing What list like the First Classic?

Meet at one of the places and cook up a feast for Saturday Night.

I've got Thursday Night Dinner covered for those that will be there, but I'll bring something for Saturday as well once I know what others are bringing.

If we need the Big Grill I'm sure they will haul over their big Cooker like they have done for us before.

To Barry and all. I regret to inform everyone that I will not be able to attend the classic this weekend. I am sorry it is last minute, but a life thing came up, and I have to deal with and respond to it.

Barry, I was really looking forward to being your wingman again, I couldn't ask for a better boat Captain, nor a better teacher and compatriot. I really appreciate you sponsoring me for this trip to make it happen, and I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. You are aces.

You guys have a blast. I am really sorry that I won't be seeing everyone again, and not meeting those who I have never had the pleasure of fishing and communing with.

To Barry and all. I regret to inform everyone that I will not be able to attend the classic this weekend. I am sorry it is last minute, but a life thing came up, and I have to deal with and respond to it.

Barry, I was really looking forward to being your wingman again, I couldn't ask for a better boat Captain, nor a better teacher and compatriot. I really appreciate you sponsoring me for this trip to make it happen, and I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. You are aces.

You guys have a blast. I am really sorry that I won't be seeing everyone again, and not meeting those who I have never had the pleasure of fishing and communing with.

Chris

So back to Saturday Night Dinner. Who's bringing what?


I'll bring some extra Venison Burger for Saturday Night if anyone wants some. I'll also get a Bag of Charcoal for cooking, as I'll need it for Thursday as well. Most likely I'll grab a can of Potatoes & Green Beans I can heat up if needed for a side dish.

What else is anyone bringing?

Fred as far as Saturday Night's dinner, its BYOM. (Bring Your Own Meal) I mentioned asking for Grape Hammocks big grill so that we can have a community grill where we can all cook our meals together and hang out.

Yeah... but thats assuming folks want to take a field trip into town after being on the water all day. I know once I arrive on Fri, I'm staying put, fishing and just chilling out when I'm not fishing.

I probably won't be taking a field trip just cause I have so many baits I don't know what to do with them.

Ok. I called Grape Hammock this afternoon and Heather said my cabin was ready to check in whenever I get there in the morning. So Walt and I are leaving earlier to be there around 1230.

There's a grill next to my cabin IIRC.

Lol. Lip I got a Double Post on Tapatalk so I edited one, then the other disappeared. So these guys might think your crazy. Lol.

But yes I used to drink like a fish and stayed up all night until the dawn. But those days are well long gone now.

I don't mind having a drink or two while sitting around Bsing with friends but to me the FLBR Classic was never about drinking.

To me it had always been about seeing the guys I fish With  and Against all year over the Internet in Person. Re-Meeting those I know and Meeting those I don't.

Friends Food Fun Fishing.

No one has ever won two as of yet. Each year one guy has figured out that year's conditions and rose to the top.

Sooner or later someone will. Who? That's the real question isn't it?

Well, Wind Wind Wind is the word.

I had a few bites that just were not hitting that hard. Caught 2 and lost 1. Also caught my PB Mudfish. Tried to boat flip it before I knew what it was and only got it halfway out of the water. Probably 10 lbs.

Depending on which way your running the wind can be nothing or a big deal.

Best of the day.
