Use this thread for comments and or questions. Meeting place for start and weigh-in is at the site of the old Bugg's Island Bait and Tackle shop at the foot of the old bridge in Clarksville. I for get the start/stop times but I'm sure someone remembers. You can fish anywhere in the lake.

The lake is muddy upstream of the bridges now. the crappie are startin to move back into the creeks. we caught 85 in Panhandle Sun. had a couple dozen nice eaters, up to a pound. Client caught a 15 1/4 inch citation yesterday off a main lake pile rite down from grassy, 15 ft deep over brush in 25fow on a World Famous FishDoc Bucktail!!
I hope we have some decent weather and a good turnout for the bash!
Where do us greenhorns find info on what a bash actually is and where people stay, what they do, and such?
It is just an informal get together and a chance to meet other people on the board. There is usually a big fish pool the costs $5.00 to get in and winner takes all. Sometimes this is modified a little like to the biggest 3 fish. Some people come the day before to do some pre-fishing and stay at one of the local motels or local camp grounds. It starts and ends at the old Bugg's Island Bait and Tackle shop (I believe its now called Circle K according to Fishdoc). You can launch and fish anywhere in the lake and use any poles or bait you want (except dynamite). Times normally run 8-3. Sometimes Slab (the owner of the site) provides some neat T-shirts for the events when he has enough lead time to get them made. Come early and share you fishing tales with others and hear their lies, I mean stories. Everyone is invited.
Hope too make it with the wife.
O.K so tomorrow gonna fish with the first place team in Bobcats Crappie Trails, hope they can give me some pointers as where too fish, will report back as how we done , getting BASH READY.!!!!!!!!!

Fun day on the water. Me and Gene didn't win but had a good time talking to all who were able to make it. We caught around 40 fish and missed winning big fish by 0.05 of a pound. Weather was really nice. We caught all our fish using jigs over brush in 7 to 15 feet deep. Bite was real light. Hope everyone made it home safe. Gene enjoyed fishing with you as always.

Sorry I did not make the weigh in. I caught 6 fish off of brush piles and four off bridge pilling in butcher creek. I had NO decent fish but the boat ran great and I was happy. Hope to make it to a spring bash this coming spring.
