'Bama Mud Buddy Roundup Update:

**ALMODUX** · 05-29-2006, 10:40 AM

It's gonna be a hoot!.....We've got all sorts of terrain; mud, veggies, hard bottom, creeks, flats, and STUMPS. Might want to bolt your motor down.:crazy: I have a Mud Buddy rate at the Jameson Inn of Scottsboro, so check the roundup page for contact info to book your rooms. We likely won't have a poker run due to the tight quarters back in some of the creeks, but will have a 'Decoy Hunt', instead. Find as many decoys hidden throughout the search area as you can, and each will have a number that corresponds to some sort of prize. Many will be easy to find, but HARD to get to. Some will be easy to find and reachable, but hard to get back out of. Some will just be mud boat traps.:crazy: They'll be surrounded by stumps in 2" of water over silted hard bottom, so you better snatch them w/o slowing down....

or you'll be in stump 'jail'. I'm sure for one of your hard found decoys, somebody will snatch you out. We'll have plenty of snakes and stinging biting insects, but no gators, so be prepared....no firearms, please, as this IS a refuge....but if you want to off a moccasin with your push pole, be my guest.

This will be at a city park ramp with all sorts of family groups around and in attendance, so please behave accordingly. We will have waivers to sign and everyone must drive sober. Alabama has a DUI law for the water that is the same as the road, 0.08 on the breathalizer, and you'll get a DUI for driving your boat, with the same penalties as driving your truck on the highway....just fair warning.

More to follow......

You forgot to answer the most important question: How's da fishin? Just might have to wet a line on sunday before we ship out.

***sandman7655*** · 05-29-2006, 11:25 AM

we still got rooms with garage right?i made reservations

**BoatDR** · 05-29-2006, 12:57 PM

You gonna have your motor back by then sandman??

**ALMODUX** · 05-29-2006, 01:16 PM

The place with the garages is the VIP 'compound':crazy: ...you need to make your reservations there yourself....once I've confirmed that everyone that needs them has made their reservations, I'll post whatever are left for invites or up for grabs.

The shellcracker and bream are bedding like crazy right now, and you'll be able to catch all you want of them in August, too. The bass will be holding to the deeper grass, probably, but daylight and dark should give some good topwater action on rats/frogs by then, also. Whatever you wanna catch we can find it....bass, crappie, bream, stripers, cats, and maybe even some smallies if the weather is cooperating. Plenty of places to fish, that's for sure. The stripe might be hitting topwater out in the current on the big river, too at that time...they were last year, but you had to fight the skipjacks off of ya. :017: They'll be a lotta big frogs out, too.

Any difinitive word from Glenn if it will be ready in time? Boy I sure wanted to make it to the SC poker run but I am crazy busy here and can't take any time off right now........hopefully things settle down a bit by the time rick has his round up.....and yea I have reservations for the bama roundup too.

***sandman7655*** · 05-29-2006, 09:37 PM

nope i am calling al tommorrow to see where he's at on it.

**ALMODUX** · 05-29-2006, 09:42 PM

Well, I'm thinking I'm gonna have to cut that 31 Van being built to a 45 out of the line from Glenn, cuz my whole rig may be sold by the next couple of weeks....I told Glenn I had to have another before mudfest, and he said there was this low hour 31 being built at Al's that he could shortcut for me and nobody would be mad....may hafta take him up on that one to get a motor quick.:banana:

***sandman7655*** · 05-30-2006, 08:31 AM

There is some mud...just lots more varied/difficult stuff than mud to run in:

I'm thinking this place my get locked up by the beavers if we leave it alone until August....which is why I didn't tear it up jumping it.

***sandman7655*** · 06-02-2006, 08:21 PM

cant wait:Banane21:

oltcutdown · 06-07-2006, 03:53 PM

Bill, I thinks I knows where dat run is and I don't hunt over there. If it's the same place, I know a tiny run blocked up by the beavers that would be a hoot to jump from the low side! You ought to be able to get airborne on that one, just have to keep it in the run or you'd be pruning trees.

**ALMODUX** · 06-07-2006, 09:27 PM

Yep...it can get tight back in there, so I figure on wearin' my safety glasses and gettin' some blood in the boat.

DEDBRD · 06-08-2006, 07:54 AM

Hey Bill, I think i know those guys in the pictures.:Banane30:

**ALMODUX** · 06-08-2006, 12:46 PM

:Banane22: Which one...the chubby golfin' dude or the one poopin' with the pushpole in his hands?:Banane48:

willydiver · 07-19-2006, 02:12 PM
