Got to the first post in Watering Hole - https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4546 then go to the first page of the Dale Hollow topic. That explains it all....
Then go to the next post - the update on the dale hollow trip to see more ... https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9127
No fees (just your lodging) any boat, any TinBoater, not a rally, just a get together to meet, fish, socialize, etc. Families, single, kids, everyone is welcome. Check out Dale Hollow on line for the fishing info - but is is renown for Small Mouth, has everything else too - lg mouth, walleyes, crappies, whites, stripers, etc.....

Paul, you can fish next to me and I promise with the way I fish, you and your son will shine.
dunk50 said:
Exactly how fishingcop explained it! It is just a social gathering with a little fishing thrown in.
I will be renting a tiny boat there, so your boat will be more than perfect.

Paul... I've fished with Popeye (formally know as Flonderhead) before ............. watch out, he'll accuse you of cutting loose his lunkers when he gets them up to the boat
------ actually, that sould be "lunker", not "lunkers" :lol: :lol: BTW did you mean you don't fish for "crap" or "carp" ??? :lol:

How do you feel about riding in my boat out on Lake Michigan going after some Fall Kings? Fall they come in closer so we don't have to go out so deep. Closer in just in case the waves pick up. I have to take my kicker in for repairs (when ever I get more than 1 day off in a row).

Actually, in all seriousness, I have always admired your ability to take you boat (sorry, don't know the style/size/etc) out so far into Lake Michigan... I don't think I'd have the nerve, let alone experience, to go out as far as you go on the big lake with the wave height that you challenge..... I'm comfortable in the Fox Chain, but I think I'd really like a bigger boat to head out into Michigan the way that you do... Your past posts prove the success of fishing out there, but.... I must say, I'm more comfortable facing an armed criminal (or at least before I retired) than I'd be out there with those big waves in a samll bass type boat like yours ------------- You've got my admiration on that for sure....

yep, a little biten goin on there kids, (fishincop and Popeye), at this point I kinda envy you guys knowing each other. Thinking real serious about going but my son is taking the grandkids to Disneyworld in early Oct. soee I would be making the trip solo. (which I can do). None of you would happen to be Bourbon drinkers during the evening would you???? [-o< :wink:

Been an aquaintance of Jim myself for quite a while. Now, I'm sure a purist would find this offensive but he and I used to sit around enjoying some Diet Coke together. Not often did I ever drink it without a mixer.

Well, Popeye your in for a treat. I take mine with coke (not diet) also. Figure I paid for it, I can drink it like I want. But no JB for me. Old Weller Antique 107 or some Van Winkle or in a pinch Maker Mark. I'll have to try converting you at the Rally???

I've heard that Maker's Mark was pretty good stuff. Isn't that the stuff Martha Stewart drinks?

You don't mix good bourbon with coke!!! That's reserved for cheap swill like that stuff from TN. [-X
Your drinking license is now in jeapordy of being revoked.
(so sayeth the man from KY with an affinity for our gift to the world) :mrgreen:
Try yourself some Woodford Reserve if you haven't had it. I keep a bottle of it onhand for the run of the mill "medicinal" purposes.

Guess I'm sacriligious, lol. In the winter, I drink Jim Beam Black mixed with coke (preferably pepsi) and very little ice.

The only bourbon that you will normally see me drinking with a soft drink is Wild Turkey. There's something about it that just tastes "right" together.
Mixing with a soft drink just kills the subtle flavors of good bourbon. If I am going to mix with soft drinks, I will do it with the cheap stuff.
