I have posted this in the member meets forum also. All active members have decided on the LBL location. I would like all thoughts and opinions to come here, and the member meets thread. The more people that know we are serious, the more people will come. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST KENTUCKY MEET EVER! It is a big deal. Lets pull together and make this thing happen. Thank you all for the input and support.

Any thoughts on a campground, or date? I was thinking sometime in August. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

Hey Fred.If you have it at KY Lake,the wife and I will more than likely make the run down there.As far as suggestions on campgrounds and the like,I have no clue.I have only been to the Paris Landing area.We are going down to Hillman Ferry in June,but that won't help you right now.That will be our first time in KY,we have always been in TN before.Hope to see you all in August. Steve

good luckgoogle resorts on kentucky lake alot of them have boat rentals as well as camping areas as well as cottages lodges etc. as well as other amenities ie swimming pools etc. some even have meeting rooms that are available.i will be at the moors in april and i know they have everything you will need but there are many others on both lakes . also pm sam bush he lives up by barkley dam he could probably be able to tell you about some areas also. hope this helps.i also might try to bring my dad down once you get it set up. no guarentees it depends on work etc.

Thanks for the input guys. As you can see this thread is a little slow from time to time, but I'm sure we will start sorting things out soon.

Here is a link for some campgrounds at Kentucky Lake

I have just glanced over some of the sites, but we should easily be able to decide on a campground. Some of them I have looked over DO offer boat rentals which is a major plus.

 

So far I think either Big Bear Resort or Sportsman Anchor Resort & Marina would make a great location.

Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

Fred, I will try to get over and check those places out, when they re-open.  Most resorts close down by December.  And open in March, or April.

if you are going to big bear check out moors at the same time they are almost next to one another on the same creek of the lake. just from personal experience i can tell you they will treat you right at moors. i dont know about the other two places.

forget what i said about moors in the previous post. i was mistaken about them having camping. shoulda double checked before posting. sorry guys
duckman st louis mo

I would appreciate that Sam. That is your neck of the woods, so I will trust your opinion on the sites.

 

No problem duckman. This is an all new thing for all of us here.

Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

 Have we settled on a date yet? I am starting a new job and I believe I can tell them I have a trip I'm committed to and get that date off. I need to know when though. I'll watch the thread for info or maybe someone can drop me a pm.

Is everyone happy with the location, or should we move it to a more central spot? Also, any thoughts on a date? I'm thinking late spring/early summer. Maybe 1st week in June? Any thoughts?

Here are a few on Lake Barkley. Boat Haven Resort & Marina.... Lake Barkley State Resort.... Prizer Point Resort & Marina

How does everyone feel about June 1st thru the 6th?
Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

I feel good about that,Fred. The wife and I will be arriving at Hillman Ferry on the 4th,staying until the 13th.We should try to get together while I'm there.If you have a cell,PM me your #and I'll yell at you when I get there.

Hey Steve. Even if the meet isn't during that time I will try to take a day or two off work and drive down for a day of fishing. I will let you know as the time nears.
Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

I can do the 4th, 5th and 6th. I just need to find a camping spot on the water where I can tie off the boat, preferably. Wish I could do the whole week..

Since this is the first meet lets just do it on the weekend. I say we have the meet June 3rd thru the 6th. The 3rd is on a thursday, and the 6th is sunday. I also vote for the meet being at Big Bear Resort on Kentucky Lake. Here is a link. http://www.bigbearkentuckylake.com/ You can find prices from everything from campsites to boat rentals on the link. It would be great if we can get this squared away soon so that everyone has time to make arrangements. What does everyone think?

 

Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

I just got off the phone with Big Bear Resort, and we will recieve a 10% discount on camping since we are part of a fishing club. Please let me know asap if the date and location is good for everyone. Thanks.
Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

Oh well. Maybe next year. I'll be arriving at our new home about May 4th but have to fly back to Albuquerque the end of May. Have to come back to sell our home here.

It doesn't look like you will be missing anything Jim. This might turn out to be another year without a Kentucky member meet. Always next year I guess.
Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

Hey Fred.The wife and I are still going to be at Hillman Ferry June 4-13.Lets try to get together then if you can.
Steve---Lifer since '95--NSMC--B.A.S.S.--AnglersLegacyAmbassador--BoatU.S.Angler--tinboats--"Just Goin' Fishin' "----- Hail from east-central MO

I am still wanting to go Steve. My wife and I have to get our work schedules straightened out, but I'm hoping to go. I will let you know as soon as I know something.
Lifer since 05/08....Ky....Fred

Well Fred,as you know  with the recent events in your neck of the woods, our plans are up in the air right now.I am monitoring the cleanup efforts and,from the looks of things ,we may have to change our plans.As we aren't too fond of coming down to a limited use getaway.HillmanFerry is still #1 on our list,but if things aren't 100% we are going to change our plans.Sorry,but it is what it is.There will be other times in the future,as we get down that way as often as possible.Let us know how things are going from your perspective.Shoot me a PM if you like.

I'm here and moved in (kind of). Doin some TLC work on it and have to find room to put everything.  It's nice to finally be a real resident of KY.  Looks like I don't have to go back to NM.  Wife has stayed back there to get the house sold and put in her retirement.  She should join my son, his wife and I here in a couple months.  Be glad when she gets here.

STG. All is good. We will get together eventually. I cant stand the new site. Sorry.

Hey Fred,sorry about not being around, but this damn site won't let me on most of the time .Already called member services,but to no avail.The wife had a medical episode,so we had to cancel our trip due to Dr.appointments next week.Shoot me a PM over at "thebassholes",because this site is so unreliable.It may not ever let me back on.I got lucky today,may not be so lucky later.This is the first time I've been able to get on for at least 2 weeks or more.Holler at me over there. Steve

Anyone plannin on a meet in2011 ???

I look every day or so, but rarely have anything to say. Hello to Ky Jim, glad to see you got internet on that side of Rockcastle bay. Been wondering what ever happened to you, since you started moving down here.  Hope everything is working out well for you.  Woody

It's never too early to start planning Jim. Maybe if we get it started early we might be able to get it accomplished next year.
