Re: iboats get together aftermath

SBN, Gonfishn, Ndemge, and all... Guys, I really felt like a bum starting about thursday afternoon and on thru the weekend.... I know I missed out on a great time... Really was my intent to attend at the begining of the get together idea... Summer work that I was counting on was/still is pitiful, hence the $$$ to travel was just not there.. Piggy bank's empty.. Add to that, a project boat thats sucking my wallet dry... <br /><br />I'm putting at least $10 a week aside for next time...<br /><br />Glad to see ya'll had a good time and had safe trips to, and back...

Hey SBN I know its a bit early but what is the area(Watts bar lake) like. Big lake? small lake?<br />Im sure your planning it to be there next year because of some really good reasons and being its already cold and dreary up here I sure would like to have something to dream about

Well Mike, it's some 73 mile long and covers some 39,000 acres with water and has over 750 miles of shoreline.<br /><br />It is well known for crappie, bass, both large and small mouth along with 20 to 30 pound stripers.<br /><br />It is used primarily for producing electric power with 2 or 3 generating plants on it including one nuclear plant.<br /><br />I have fished it before out of Piney Point resort and liked it.<br />Caught plenty of bass on rattle traps and some nice crappie.

Re: iboats get together aftermath

Hey SBN any body of water that holds 20-30 lb fish gets my blood boiling <br />And well Bass and crappie are always nice too.<br />Well I already cant wait

Re: iboats get together aftermath

Guys I hate to put a damper on your excitement about Watts Bar, but be sure you check with the TWRA to make sure it is safe to eat the fish you catch there. It is a pretty dirty due to all the years of pollution from those plants. It is a fairly popular lake though. It is located in Kingston, TN. Also SBN, there are a few more lakes in that vicinity that may be of interest to you. There's Norris Lake, Douglas Lake, and Melton Hill. I usually go out on Norris and it's my favorite, but I don't know much about the fishing there. My uncle is a hardcore fisherman and he goes to Douglas every chance he gets. I'll try to stop by and say hey next year if I can.<br /><br /> Norris Lake Info <br /><br /> Douglas Lake Info <br /><br /> TWRA Fishing Reports <br /><br />James

Re: iboats get together aftermath

You can always come down here next year, We've got 5 bedrooms and there's plenty of room for bodies to sleep.<br />I can't imagine what went on in that hot tub after hours guys............<br />Thanks for sharing it with us, I appreciate the effort a lot even though I wasn't there. Iboats shows it's support even though they stood to gain nothing big. That says a lot also!<br />Well done guys, I'd love to come over and be a part of next years......<br />Ross

Re: iboats get together aftermath

Not a problem at all SBN. Just thought I'd let you know just in case. I'll probrably stop by for a few if I can and say hey. It's only like 20-30 miles from me. <br /><br />James

Re: iboats get together aftermath

Well, guys welcome home and gald you all made it there and back safely. SOunds like we need to have a few more folks show up to raise the drinking level a little. <br /><br />We, at least me and my boys, maybe wife if I talk really sweet to her, will definitely try to be there next year. Timing was simply just bad for us this time. But, really appreciate your efforts Spinner...and a big thanks to iBoats for the support as well.<br /><br />And, BTW the way Spinner, we had a great time at your place while you were away. Hope you found it fairly clean and livable when you returned.
