One more thing - Lake Nockamixon has a 20 hp limit so you will not find and glass bass boats out there throwing wakes and such. Super tinboat friendly

Redbug hates this HP restriction i am sure!

I retract my previous post. :evil:

I have an old gas motor I will throw in the back of the pick up you can use! 8)

Really?

Capt, the price for the cabin you're showing is $140/night Fri-Sat or $85/night Thurs-Sun and you have to bring all linens and cooking utensils, pots/pans.

The lake is 1400 acres and has this many boats docked there?

I guess dyeguy you've been there seeing how you "bump to that" the suggestion less than a minute after seeing the post?

No, I was referring to the 20 hp limit.. not a fan.

That would be greatly appreciated!

I considered buying a smaller one for times like these, but I'm finding less and less reason to. There aren't many HP restrictions in my neck of the woods

That cabin sleeps 10 - so at $14 a person that is not bad

Brine - You can stay at my house for free - I am about 10 minutes from the lake (Still you have to bring all linens and cooking utensils, pots/pans :mrgreen: )

It's soundin better!

But are there really going to be that many boats on 1400 acres?

That is the big marina there - they are about 90% sail boats which restrict themselves to the wide part of the lake (look at the map) Even if they all went out you are talking about maybe 50 boats on a fairly large body of water

Seems to work out because they love the wind and the fishermen do not

The lake is not crowded except when there is a tournament and a regatta on the same day

How about Newton Lake, in Newton IL? I know that's a bit North and West for alot of you, but I thought I'd try...

I've fished there, and I think it's a great lake. 25hp limit, 18" min size limit on bass, 3lb average, and an 8lber not out of the question. I've had friends fish tourneys there and have a 25lb bag and not even place. Panfish and catfish too.

There are a couple of campgrounds close by, also.

Thanks,

Man I have read so much about Newton,,,,Buddy of mine fished it last year and said it was awesome....he slayed em on a chatterbait in Feb there....I'm hoping to get up there before I kick the bucket its just 5 hrs from me......JIGGY

 

[BYOB Fishing]

Yeah, it's a really good lake for late winter/early spring. The water stays warm all year long due to the power plant. Here's a video from John Gillespie's show when they fished the lake.

Two questions.
1-Are these HP restrictions nothing larger than;or larger than-NO WAKE speed?

2-Does Newton have a special permit that you must obtain to get on it,like so many of the smaller bodies of water over in the illustrious State of Illinois have?

 

[thudpucker]

We will keep in mind, all those suggestions, but keep looking for newer opportunities. Constantly and Frequently, and often as possible. :lol:

I'm too far West, way off the beaten path. We need Eastern Kentucky or thereabouts to be centrally located.

 

[FishingCop]

I submit Dale Hollow, part Duex ????? Great lake, central location (at least for all but the easterners), Star Point offers reasonable rates and a good group discount for TinBoats.... plus the lodge for our get togethers and a camp ground for those campers. I'd go there again for sure.

Food for thought??

I liked Dale Hollow even if I did not have time to fish on the first trip there. It was mentioned by bassboy1 that Guntersville Lake in north east Alabama would be a good spot for the next one. I would like to place my vote for Guntersville Lake.

if you choose Fla I have a few suggestions

I would gladly place a vote for either one of the above lakes. Y'all have seen what kind of lake Dale Hollow is, and Guntersville is equally as good, replacing the smallies with largemouth. It is very near a Lake Fork quality lake.

Personally, driving distance is going to be an issue for me. My limit is probably going to be from Eastern Mississippi to the east coast, and middle Kentucky on South, until you hit water again.

 

[BassNBob]

I would love to go back to Dale Hollow or try Guntersville for the nextget together. I think all the tinboaters had a good time and most caught fish. Maybe this time Ken will get to fish a little.

Whatever is decided, though, please keep in mind that alot of us who would like to attend have small boats with small motors, designed to fish small lakes. We don't necessarily like being around big boats, jetskis and 4ft swells on open water.

Just my thoughts...

If you have more than 25hp, then you can't run it at all. No permits required on Newton.
