Skeeter Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I really don't know how to handle getting a rally for the western guys. I am not familiar with anything outside of the Mason Dixon line. But I do think that we could get a pretty good get together by using a state such as Tennessee as a starting point. Most of the southern states share a border with this state. It appears to me as a good central point. We could do it on a weekend and spend a day somewhere sharing our baits and how we do them. The next day we could have a cookout and go fishing or just spend the time shooting the bull at one of the lakes. Old Hickory has some nice park areas around the lake. They are real close to some really nice towns like Nashville, Hendersonville, and Gallatin. Hendersonville and Gallatin are about 25 miles from Nashville and about 5 miles from the lake. There are allot of nice hotels in these towns and usually have vacancies without problems. I suggested the magazine folks because it would be a way to get TU and our craft showcased. I think that allot of the people that get on the site as just guests would be curious to see who we are and participate also. To me it would be nice to have a good time and promote the site. Spring would be good because the fishing is good and the weather would be better for those who travel. Or heck, summer or early fall would work too. I would definitely make the trip. How bout it????

Markell Posted November 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I would make plans to attend an event in or around Nashville, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance to participate. The get-together that we had at Coley's place was great. I would definitely enjoy meeting more of you in person. If we decide to have it around Nashville, I would be more than happy to help organize it.

Mojo Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I know there's at least 2 or 3 other guys here in OK, plus a few in N. Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 The nice thing about Hendersonville and Galatin is that they are small towns. You won't have to worry about getting lost getting to them or once you are in them. I know that I really hate going through big cities. There are definitely other places within the state. But this is what I am familiar with. Maybe Coley or Charlie have some better suggestions. What time of year would be good for most?

out2llunge Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Don't forget about us north of the 49th parallel. I guess we'll need to form the Canadian chapter. If there was a summer time meeting, that would be one I could attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 You can book me for Nashville. Would be an easy trip for me. When booking it try to avoid the third Saturday of the month please. I'm committed through June on those Saturdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamOso Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I like the idea of having regional chapters - Northeast, Midwest, etc. But guys, you couldn't have just one chapter for Texas...I mean, it would have to be split into 4 or 5 regions too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbass1 Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 We would definately need more than one chapter in Texas. That would give us an excuse for a road trip. I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawyer67 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Have any of you heard of "The World's Biggest Fish Fry"??? It is in Paris,Tennessee on the last Friday of the month of April. We cook catfish all week. and have a parade with a carnaval too. But Kentucky lake is very popular with Bass fishing. It would be great to have you here in Paris, TN.

siebler_custom_baits Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well these guys proved that Get Togethers work so.... How many guys in CA, AZ, and other somewhat nearby states would travel out for a day or two of fishing? Either in San Diego or somewhere north of here? maybe fall of this year or spring of 08? Or even do an offshore tuna trip in the late summer or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawjacker Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 hey guys dont forget that east tn has some of the best fishing in the state and that it has six lakes that are within 45 mins of one another not to mention that there are hundreds of crankbait makers in east tn it seems like everyone here makes some sort of plastic or jigs or cranks so dont count out east tn as a meeting place as well the town is easily accessable as well as accomadating flw thought that since they will be here at the end of march to fish in knoxville check it out on flw outdoors and see what you think about knoxville and its fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
