Maybe some of these guys that are tooting their horns about single poling will show up and we can all see how they do. :D
Hope they make their mind up soon as to which ramp we will be puttin in at?
I vote for the Cock of the Walk, or Tommy's. I guess its which end of the lake you plan on fishing.
I would kind of like to have a head count also on how many.
I'd vote for Tommy's. Everything you need right there and it splits the lake in 1/2 in case somebody wants to fish in a small boat and doesn't want to try and run the lake if the wind gets up. Plus, it's not that far from the Welfare hole which is where DD is gonna send everybody to anyhow. 2nd choice would be the ramp at Pelahatchie, again due to winds. My last choice would be Cock of the Walk.

Big ramps at both places, lots of room. I wouldn't do Tommys. There's ALWAYS a bass tourney up there and some might get lost coming through the S curve. Not pretty when someone gets out of the not so clear channel markers at 40 MPH and goes into the stump fields on either side all the way though it. Just for safety, I'd say one of the 2 I mentioned. My thoughts anyways. Guess it's time to see who all will come down here since I've driven to 75% of the one's up North. I missed 2 tourneys last year was all and none this year. Least some of you that live in the North 1/2 of the state can deal with what I deal with every time once
they put squared off speed bumps about every 100 feet through there and it beats you to death at less than 1 MPH. You have to almost totally stop now to get to the ramp. MOST people will fish from oil well down south and if you want to let them run through the S curve, go ahead. I'm driving back down to Cock of the walk. I got my spot to fish already and it ain't the welfare hole. Now shuddup WB, you've only green carp fished it
I will fish it. Tommy's is a waste of time. Too little parking and total confusion as 2 or 3 bass tourney's will be out of there on the same day you can bet on that. The Rankin Ramp by the old Rapid on the Rez is the one to use. No one will be there. Store right there, etc. Or Cock of the walk. If anyone is staying in a hotel it won't be ANYWHERE near Tommy's it will be back closer to the Spillway end of the lake.
I've got a guest room if anyone needs to use it. Gotta like dogs as mine will be all over you, friendly dog of course.
yea DD I guess guys were hauling butt down the road to the Pel ramp and they had to place in speed bumps every 10 feet...What in the heck were they thinking. PLuse the boat ramp there will eat your boat.
DD, I told WB the welfare hole is for people like him a one fish wonder. HAHA Need to send up river to the RR tressle at the campground. You know I hear they were tearing stick baits up in that area.
he can always follow Triton to Horshoe and get stuck on the same sand bar together. Wonder which one would get nekid first and jump in the lake to help the other push the boat off the sandbar. LOL. Course with the Gators out like thy are right now, NO WAY IN HECK, I'm getting out of the boat. I don;t go on the rez right now in the upper part and not see 6 or 8 Gators
Id hate to really get invloved in this stuff again...what if I win...then I be all embarassed.... i aint much on bragging you know.Quote:

Look forward to meetin u guys.
Great Brad should be a good time.
doing my best Wannabe immitation, binoculars included. LOL Hey Maj, little early to figure out where to fish at the FJ, in 2 weeks they'll be moved ALOT. I'm just hoping for clear, calm weather. Gonna be a blast to have one here and wee everyone again. Just keep in mind those who have never fished barnett and only fished COE lakes, Barnett is a different animal than those lakes BIGTIME
I'm out. I was willing to run the risk of getting bit, but I'm not down with DD weeing me.
That ain't how I roll.
Wannabe...
"weeing me" lol ha ha ha. I believe that would make me bail too.
Wannabe. Said you were into that kinda stuff. LOOK, my typing will be WORSE THAN NORMAL today. I have my 5th degree testing tonight and I'm nervous as everyone at a weigh in that doesn't have a bunch of huge fesh and they think I may beat them. LOL
Weeing - Classic. That one's gonna stick about as good as the upside down ducer.
Wannabe...
it sounded kinky to me..... but I didn't want to draw attention to it. ;)
will have to miss it....i hate it, but it's my son joe's graduation at delta state..........but, on the other hand i may put my priorities in order.......
Yall decide where to launch......I dont know nuthin bout that lake.
Well some one that KNOWS SOMETHIN speak up! The LakeMaster dont know!
Good decision to
Madison Landing is good with me.
So ?????????
Well, Madison Landing it is!!!!!
Where the heck is Madison Landing? Only one I knowed in Madison was the one on the back side of that rich golf neighborhood and that thing was dinky and you had a lot of trouble when the water was down. Did have a nice dock though.
Wannabe...
hush sat 4 i whooop up on you
WB, just google COCK OF THE WALK and Madison Landing is the giant boat ramp there. Can launch 12 boats at a time if needed...Hundreds of parking spots...
The easiest way to get there from 55 is to take the Natchez Trace headed toward Tupelo. Once on the Trace, the 2nd exit I think is for ROSS BARNETT, Miss Craftsmen Center, etc...GET OFF TO THE RIGHT. That's OLD CANTON ROAD. At the STOP SIGN Go Right. Go to the next light (RICE ROAD) and go LEFT. Ross Barnett/Main Harbor will be on the Right about a mile down. You will pass thru a light and a FIRE STATION will be on the LEFT. Go around a curve to the left and you will pass the CRAFTSMANS CENTER on the Left. About 100 feet up is a RIGHT turn for MADISON LANDING. It's about 10 minutes from 55.
Just in case:
Cock of the Walk
141 Madison Landing Cir, Ridgeland, MS 39157
I told him Rankin landing on the East wide of the Dam. It's got a huge parking lot, not alot of traffic and a bathroom. We'd be out of the way there and it's on the South side of the lake so this time of year with it's southerly winds, we'd have the wind blowing out of the ramp. If we do it at Cock of the Walk, we'll be dealing with 50 pleasure boaters putting in at weigh in time. NOT FUN
Oh, I get it. Cock of the Walk. Why didn't ya'll say so. Never actually used that ramp before.
However, we don't need any bathroom. Torch is sponsored by Blue Towels. He'll have enough for everybody.
Wannabe...
You got that right never ever leave home without them.
Hey WB, my wife used to get so mad at me for coming home with one sock or the back of my t shirt cut off.
Southeast side of the rez, Go East, across the Dam and the make the Uturn to the left, across the medium, then your first right bout 50 yards up and your there. Real easy to find. They have a Fishing pier there to Wannabe in case yo boat ain't finished by then
