Well after giving it some thought,We`ll meet ON the lake at 7:00 and weigh-in at 2:00.The top third of whoever shows up gets paid,we`ll keep it inexpensive $20.00 gets you in,$15.00 to enter and $5.00 for big fish.There`s a little twist though NO PRE-FISHING AT ALL!Lets see what happens when we`re all on the same playing field so to speak.Oh yeah,it will be at fountain grove,remember blast off is at 7,if your late thats o.k just find me on the water there will be no penalty.But if you are late you cant ask anyone how they`re doing,its all top secret(lol) untill you kick down some $.Hope to see a few of you out there,cya

I'd love to join you Mr Bill, but Im taking off for Mexico Friday morning and won't be back until the 28th. Im going to miss bass fishing. Have a hoot at the grove. Hey Nick, try to fish this one. Its a fun lake.

Rich

how far is fountain grove from san jose area. I have president's day off and may be up for it, just have to see what i end up having to do for school over the weekend.

And how far is it from White Slough }(

I have Monday and Tuesday off. Plan on heading home early Monday afternoon. I know I probably can't do it, just curious?

It is 102 miles, about 1.5 hour drive (of course not counting traffic)from San Jose (98.1 miles from Whites Slough).

I attached a map if you are interested once you get into Sonoma County.

Going to be in New York so will not make it, plus my boat is too heavy to get to the water.

Have fun everyone!

ill be there

Wow nice map John.Its a fun place to fish,usually the first lake to heat up fishing wise around this area so I imagine everybody should catch fish especially with nobody pre-fishing.Have fun Rich and John

I can't i'm going to las vegas for my sister's volleball torment x( but i got $140 to spend at the new bass pro shops there

Thanks thats within my distance so I'm just gonna have to play it by ear depends on how much homework I will end up needing to do over the weekend, and whether I go out on friday and saturday. Thanks for the map.

CZ - it is actually a very easy drive at that time in the morning (barring traffic). Just go up 880 cross over to 580 and then 101. I'm not sure what side of San Jose you're on but going through SF can be a pain (not to mention all the lights).

Unfortunately UPS works on that day... ;(

Todd

i will mostlikely be there.

I have the combo to the lock, so if you get there when im there, we could all drive in. I would prolly be there around 615.

DUDE!You`ve got the combo?Any chance of getting it if your not going to be there?e-mail me,cya

I am almost positive that im goin to be there, but if im not, ill notify you and e-mail that for sure.

What time should we meet there to open it up?

I want to be on the water by 7 so lets say between 6:15 and 6:30.

sounds good to me, but we should shoot for an exact time because you dont really want that gate open for a long time. So how about split those times in half and meet at 620 sharp.

if you need to contact me or anything about new times or something considering that hit me up.

321-4073
or
jbonise056@sbcglobal.net but i dont check it to much


see all you there

we can use oars right?

6:20 is cool and so are oars.

Ill be there for sure and good possibility my Dad will come too. See you guys there @ 620.

Daniel

If I were to go there after the delta event, is there anywhere for me to park my truck and crash for the night? No motels :-(

not at the lake.

Its right off a main parkway, and i would deffinatly not recommend that you stay the night on that street. Right down the street from the lake, ive seen a few cars all with broken windows.

As far as a place to crash, across the freeway is a K-Mart with big parking lot, just south on Mendocino is a big Kaiser Hospital lot. May work? Also real close to the hospital is a Ralphs/Yardbirds huge parking lot.

John

Thanks John! That's all I need. If they come and run me out of one I can drive to the next }(

Here is a map of the locations I suggested.

John

PS: Would have emailed to you in lieu of posting here but I could not find a way to do so and attach the map.

Hey Jake,

I met you at Spring Lake last season...That same offer still applies I got a futon you can use. My hose to Fountaingrove less than 12 min. The offer is there is for you if you want it...No reason for you to sleep in your truck in a parking lot when I have a hot shower and a warm house!


Daniel aka Deacon

Thanks Daniel!!!

That's two times you've offered to hook me up :D But again, like last time, I don't have a set schedule. I don't know when I'll be where or doing what so I don't wanna make that commitment. I'm cool sleeping in my truck, my boats on the trailer so I feel safer :P Thanks!

And thanks for the all the maps John. I'll use em!!!!

Jake,
If you want you can crash at my place. I live in Rohnert Park which is maybe 10 minutes from Fountaingrove.

Call me at 707-576-0924
Chris

I may show for this. Wether I fish it or not depends on if I can sell any custom baits to any of you guys. I'll bring along samples of my work which are also for sale.
Call me at 576-0924 if you're interested.

Chris

Chris thanks for the offer!

Would I just take the 12 over to the 101? Then north to Mendocina or Fountain Grove PKWY? I've got a brand new 05' Rand atlas, but it's not very clear for that particular stretch.

The easiest & fastest way would be to take the 12 to the 80 and follow the 80 thru Vallejo, to the 101. Take the 101 north to the Bicentenial exit and follow Bicentennial up the hill until you get the lake. The pull-out parking area will be on your left.

Chris

:o What was I thinking!!! x(

12 to the 80 to the 37 then to the 101
Dangit, I hope Jake doesn't end up in San Jose or Sac. If somebody sees this post and has his cell #, you might want to give him a heads up.

I'll be at 'Grove about 5:30 for anyone who wants to see my baits and/or order some of their own.

Bring out your dead! :+ I'll bring 'em back to life. }(

Chris

Hi this is Jake's wife.
I just gave him the message and he say Thanks for the heads up. :-)

It`s still a go rain or shine!

sweeeet!

I just relized I must have left my fish basket at sonoma,anybody find one there?Anyway if someone has extra I can use tomorrow that would be cool.cya

Bill, i have an extra one, ill bring it tomorrow.
