I know costs are a big factor when talking fishing but..... Some of you have heard that I have taken the Bass Resource Roadtrip and in a nutshell what we have here is... a bunch of people from the Bass Resource Website (Glenn and Keri May's Site) get together for a week of fishing, dinners and sharing techniques in a chosen fishery down south where the weather is warmer.... fish are plentiful and you get the chance to bed fish and catch your first 100 fish before everyone else has gotten their first 10!!
Sounds simple but does take some planning.... Wilson Lake is the destination this year on the Tennessee river near Muscle Shoals Alabama. A renowned Fishery filled with Smallmouth, Largemouth, Spotted Bass and even Stripers!!
Ever want to throw the Alabama Rig? and actually get multiple hookups on one rig!! This is the place!!
I have flown down twice and via Priceline.com have reduced my costs by 200 bucks each trip..... this year I got airfare for $400 shared cabin with other attendees for $200 (6days) rental car for $130 and helping my boaters with fuel costs.... This is the same cost as my Banks lake Jamborree trip for 9 days and getting wind, rain for half the trip and catching a lot of dinky fish!!! Yes... boaters will be assigned and you guys work out what type of fishing you want to do and I can tell you... Drop shotting kicked butt last year at Pickwick Lake.... here is the video Glenn put together....

This trip has made my Spring transition better each year as we all know fish catches make you better and each trip I caught over 100 fish each time and the first year I had only caught 1 fish in Wa. prior to that trip and the weather kept me from catching 200 as we had storms and wind.
