We aren't charging a fee to fish but if youd like to donate to the cause if attending that will be fine , cabin rates will be split by however many stay in each cabin. If you prefer your own cabin Please call Connie at (256) 571-5548
We have some cool stuff lined up to give away so make sure you get in on this !!
I'd like too but I'm going to have to play it by ear. Finances will play a big role.
We are trying to acquire a cabin to hold 6-8 will know more about that tomorrow morning for sure. Real cheap lodging when divided by 6 :) so cross fingers.
I'm still trying to figure out which license to buy. lo
Alabama charges you exactly what your state charges their liscence holders, so I hope you are in a nice state lo ;)
If you don't mind wearing a wig & some balloons, you can just use my wife's license. Haha!
Gonna be fun!! ;D And whatever goes on at g'ville, stays at g'ville damnit!! lo

I'll see if I can talk the wife into the Jersey this week
I am officially in. Waiting on my dad to get back with me on if he wants to go or not.
Bigwrench and I were talking about a menu:
I can make some big green egg smoked chicken leg quarters and bring em down if no one is opposed to that? What I usually do is inject them with a garlic vinnagrette mix I make.
I can skip the injection, they are just fine minus it, I just happen to like the flavor.
chicken:

Well you could drive to Bristol and ride with me and Jim in my crew cab ? Will be plenty of room.
Well I'm already have an away weekend to Smith Mountain Lake later in October. Sure can't pull 2 away weekends in the same month, unless I want the locks to the front door changed. If it's a success and you run it again next year I might have to do it.
I'm going to try to put on the meet at Barkley in April.

How about you give me a call 812 430-9008
Here's a picture of what the cabins are supposed to look like , we could always cover our boats and leave em out and use the boat parking spaces to the left for food and hanging out
(https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F14%2F09%2F13%2Fmemehajy.jpg&hash=127971a01cc195496037dd3aa20a9abcbccfec59)

Those look like nice cabins.
So I talked to Rick.
Here is what I've come up with.
I can get 5 slabs of BBQ smoked ribs at 15.00 a throw. If we need more I have to know by tomorrow 12:00 these are full slabs. 2 should be able to eat one meal on. These are not store bought.
Let me know who is in on the ribs.
I have a very large canopy I'll bring. It's 18-20 long and 10-12 wide.
I have two sets of corn hole bags.
And a 115 can cooler.

I should be to your place between 0500-0530. (I'll bring a couple of sandwiches and pick us up a couple of pair of Depends) Unhitch/hitch and a biscuit stop, I'm thinkin' we should be there close to noon. -J
Lol I'm on a diet don't bring me anything :) , doing good so far don't wanna mess it up till beer 30 Friday night lol.
OK, Awesome! ~c~
I'll grab some biscuits before I get there then but I'll still bring the Depends. No sense in stopping if we don't have too. ~roflmao
Well........ Long story short I applied for a few new jobs, got passed over for all but one, it was the highest paying. Good job. Good company. Just got a call, they hired someone else. After waiting a month to hear from them. Kinda sucks. A bit depressed.
I need to get away. Hell maybe I'll show up Saturday morning and fish with yall.
Suppose to be nasty weather here early tomorrow morning. So those traveling that early please be careful. And check alabama weather reports/radar before you head out. Squall line is said to get here about 3am Friday morning and continue to rain up into the day.
So those planning to be at G-Ville around lunch might run into rain. Plan accordingly.
Yeah like 80% chance here all day tomorrow. Sorry about your job situation hope you find the right one soon. And Sunday would be cool too !
Sorry to here about the job bro as you know I've been down that road as of late.
Hope you decide to come.
We can fish a little Sunday won't hurt my feelings.
Gotta put a brake caliper on the driver side of my truck, change the oil, and rotate the tires today. Then give her a bath.

I dont have a big cooler. One about half the size I think it is about 20 quarts. It would be wise I would imagine to bring a regular size cooler so that ice cold beer does not get lukewarm.

I'm definitely going to put together a UB rally at Barkley! I really hope you guys have great weather and the fish are hungry.
And I also really appreciate everyone being so willing to let me ride.
If any or all of you can come to Barkley it would be great.

I'm going to hit a good lake in the AM and then a few more after noon that have just opened up after 20 years closed due to mines.
I'm glad that you all avoided the storms and are able to get together. I sure hope you have a great time. And hopefully you all can come to Barkley on the 11th of Apr.

Thank my Buddy Jim for putting up with me on his boat and providing groceries lol. Wanna thank Joe for his awesome conversation and first class cooking , best steak And Pork I have ever had. I want to thank Pat for joining us and for his amazing stories. Was a really good time !
I'm sure I got more pictures and the guys do also. Lots of fun and laughter and hope we can all do it again.
All I can say is that was awesome. Thanks to Bo for the plethora of goodies, and to Lee for bringing us a boatload of el grande stuff. Thanks to Rick for organizing this whole shindig!
I cant say enough about the people. All of you were just plain awesome. Awesome.
Lee, I will be contacting you about pickwick to pick your brain, heck I might even bring some homemade summer sausage. Rick, for setting everything up and drinking a ton of beer with me. Jim for the good times and good laughs, and of course my Dad for tagging along.

Guys, I had a blast! Nope, not many fish, the lake was kinda mad over that cold front :'( :'(
Friendships that will last a lifetime are made on these trips! Can't wait for the next one.
Joe!! You MUST bring summer sausage sir ;D
Hope that shoulder is better Jim!
Pat, please take care of that rowdy son of yours ~roflmao , , , if that's possible.
Rick, GREAT JOB brother! GREAT JOB!!
The cabin was excellent as always, have stayed in them every trip up there for the last few years and they did not disappoint at all again.
Thanks to all my buds, y'all made this a great trip for me that I really needed!

I found this site a lil too late to make it to this rally. The G is one of my fav places to fish. Glad you doods were able to find a few fish. Next time will be better (think FEB-MAR!!!).
Is there a rally schedule on here anywhere? Suppose I could look. Sorry, I'm a digital dummazz.

Next rally is October 25 at Lake Norman, NC. Also listed here in the rally forum
Guys thanks for putting this thread together and sharing the event with us. Congrats again to Team Stranger on the win. Yep for sure the best part of the rally is meeting and making new friends. That's what I like about the Ultimate Bass Club Shootouts. Meeting and making new UB friends.
The food they have both nights is Second to None also ;PEP) ~beer~ :food :food
I have a few more thoughts on Guntersville to share.
First even if we wouldn't have caught fish it would have been a great trip , of course we all wanted to catch 10lbers but the friendships and camaraderie that we found will last a lifetime. The 10lbers will be there next time and hopefully the weather cooperates.
Second thing that stands out to me is ever since I started bass fishing I have dreamt of fishing grass and let me tell you I never imagined it would be like that ! There was almost too much grass if that's possible to my eye. It was like a million Christmas trees packed from bottom to top , looked like you could walk on it for as far as they eye could see in places. Every rod I brought had 10# mono lol. Don't go to G'ville in the fall with 10# mono lol.
I also wonder if spring would not be better before the grass gets crazy ?
Waterfront Bay is a great place to stay and launch for sure. They everything you could really need already there.
For sure the grass beds are unlike anything we have around here although Rural Retreat had an area much like Guntersville and it produced. This big difference is that one grass bed in G was as big as RR lake. ~roflmao I would like to get down there on Guntersville in the early Spring. Maybe get in a couple of weekdays and a Saturday. I know Guntersville was just in a funk because the weather. If we'd been there a week earlier, I think we'd have had more to show for it. -Jim

Bigwrench, well I was not there so I'll just give my opinion on grass. I will tell you from what I have ran into with some of the bodies of water I fish, is no way, you can't have too much grass. Most new guys experiencing heavy grass come away from a body of water like that, how can you fish with all that grass. Well, 10# mono is not the way to go, that's one tip. lo Heavy gear with heavy line is the way to go. 20-25# mono's and fluoro, and 65 lb braids, with stout rods. But with time and experience fishing those heavy grass situations, you will learn to love it and most likely come to prefer it. ~c~
Oh, and while it probably seemed like Christmas trees from top to bottom, I bet if you punched through the top of that grass, you would find it was much more open underneath that canopy. :-*

I did some punchin' with a Havoc Pittboss. I think Rick tried it too... I have no doubt they were down there, just needed to hit'em with the punch rig to get their attention. -Jim
I pulled one out with a Manns Jelly worm 6/0 hook but was more at the edges than in the middle.
Punching is fun when you get used to it, most folks, go to slow. Punch, move, punch, move. It's a reaction technique. I didn't do any punching this last trip, just due to the conditions, but love it in the summer up there!!

I wonder if side imaging would help in this situation ?
Idle along these huge grass beds and look for openings under the surface and of course fish. Every fish I caught was in , around or on the grass except for one small spot and one Shad. I switched over to 65# braid Friday on two reels , one was on my DX744 and the other on my LSCR (I call it my Frog Rod) lol
I was convinced the key to catching them was the grass and a frog now not so sure lol
Conditions where terrible for both actually Rick! But once you found a couple, the area should have held more. I think Sunday would have ended up a good day if the wind didn't beat up on us, but it was time to go lo
The Big G will make you a hero or :surrender: Through the years I have realized this lake is a timing lake more than most. You can blast them for a little while then they go deep down in the weeds and you have to hit them on the head to get a bite. That's what we where dealing with. Very few active feeders, I would think every fish that was caught, all 5 of them between us lo ~rant where reaction strikes. Now, with that said, I bet THIS weekend, that place will be ON FIRE!! ~xyz

I was just reading over the posts from this event and realized I had not personally thanked our sponsors for their support and the prizes they donated! :shocking: '-{ I'm embarrassed! '-{ I apologize for that. '-{ I hope it's not too late.
Thank you Nutech Lures! Even though the lake was in a funk, Nujig made my day! Bo, you're the best!
Thank you Doc Irv! Your Claw Trailer adds just the right touch and your creature baits!
Thank you El Grande Lures! While no longer a sponsor, they also donated prizes. We hope you'll be back!

Well said buddy! I can't thank Doc Irv, NuTech and El Grande enough for offering up the prizes, supporting the site and members. All the participants were very excited about trying out some new things !
