Don,

So here is a complete break down of what I know I have access to and can bring up...you let me know what will be most needed and I will figure out how to get it up there!!

-1 Brand spanking new OK Trident Prowler 15  :smt003
-1 Slow-but-Stable OK BigYak  :smt005
-1 tandem Yak (actually is not a bad boat at all) http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3052269&CAWELAID=173471045
-3 paddles
-3 PFDs
-2 carts
-1 Clarus spinning rod set up
-1 super light Daiwa spinning rod set up that I got for my daughter but should work for freshwater
-1 big smile and desire to do whatever I can to help out!!  :smt006

If there are other folks in the SC area that have bass tackle/rods and reels that they want to lend for the day I would be happy to drive over and pick them up and bring them back after the event.

Really glad I get the chance to help out with such an honorable cause!!

Sincerely,

Jim

If you need an extra yak or two, i can loan, but can't transport or attend sadly.  If you need maybe someone coming from this area can do the transpo.

After spending some time thinking and looking at my Montero, there is no way I can bring up the T15, BigYak and the Tandem...I can get two max.    :smt011

Let me know which one you want me to bring besides the T15, or if you want me to bring one of Scallen's instead of the BigYak or Tandem...

I feel confident I can strap two up there, but just couldn't figure out how to safely swing three...
 :smt012

Sorry...

Sincerely,

Jim

Is one of those kayaks being used by you or are both extra?

Love the Menu Ideas!!!!!!  Don't think the Troops know what their in for....   :cook

Jim,

Just bring your Trident and your Old Rig...

Thanks Wildernesshunter,  I think we will be OK with what we have. I will keep it in mind if we run low on Yaks...

Here is some information on the lake as to build your Arsenal of Weapons....  :evil1:

no senkos or live bait

Some fishing suggestions for the Vets--
Fishing from the shore--There are lots of weeds along most of the shoreline so you are limited to weedless presentations like texas rigged worms and perhaps some top water baits like small poppers. Also can use some small plastic swim baits like Yum monery minnows or strike king shadalicious. Slow sinking worms like Yamamoto cut tail worms in watermelon red, watermelon, or pumpkin always work either weightless or up to 1/8 oz of weight. Along the dam you can also throw deep crankbaits in chrome/blue, firetiger and shad colors. Water out from the dam is up to 12 feet deep. In some of the shallower areas throw baits like rattle traps in chrome colors.
If fishing from boats, I would suggest you try top water baits first thing on any flat water along the edge of weed beds. Poppers, small prop baits and small wake baits. This has been the best bite especially from the boat dock south and around the point and up the cove along the park up to the water pump. Also try around the small island with poppers and wake baits and rattle traps. All the way to the south end of the lake along the road is good for both top water, swimbaits, traps as well as worms. The very end on the south holds fish in the shallows next to weed beds and stickups.The middle of the south end has lots of submerged trees good for crank baits. The sunken island with the 3 marker buoys is good for worms and crank baits. The banks along the tall island to the east of the markers buoys are good for top water and cranks.  Try all stickups with worms or jigs. The east side of the lake has lots of flats. Try shallow cranks like rattle traps in the open water. The center of the lake from the marker buoys to the dam is good for deep cranks baits, as is the area opposite the dam. The north end of the lake has good points to fish and lots of shore weed lines to fish shallow cranks and worms. If it is overcast top water will work most of the day. Any offshore weeds groups can hold fish. Throw worms/jigs to these.
With the water clearing up jerk baits can also be productive.
Gear--You can use casting or spinning gear. With the weeds growing fast you should use a minimum of 14 lb mono. Remember all worm/jig hooks must be barbless or squeeze the barbs down with pliers. Good luck and have fun.

Hey Don, I will just be cooking and entertaining so both boats are available. Unless you want me on the water. I can do either or both.

Sounds like only worm and jig hooks need to be barbless. Probably because cranks are reaction baits and fish are less likely to swallow them?

I have 4 total kayaks. I think I can swing 3 in my car but if pisci comes all 4 will be there. I plan to ride the smallest one, the hobie sport and leave my revo, adventure and t15 for the vets.  But if we need to I don't mind giving up the sport..its all good, although its a bit small for any bigger guys.

My hobies can be paddled or the drive can be used for those vets who may have difficulty paddling.  I have seats and paddles for all boats but may be short on pfds. I am going to ask a few guys I know if I can borrow some so I should be ok.  I will let you know how many I can scrounge.

As for gear most of my bass stuff is casting gear. Ill sort through it this week and see what I can offer up.  I should have some lures that I can share.

I don't live too far away so I can head down and scope the place if you need don (and can let them know I'm coming..)  its on the way to one of my favorite lakes.

I just got off a Conference call with the VA, and if we want to make the food special,

it's on us....  Kinda expected this  

Kayakjack has stated his Menu for 40 +/- people at this event would be around $325.00...

I'm going to hit up National HOW, but as I said, I think we are our on own...

 If we come up with $10 or so, each, this gets us close and I'll pick up the rest....

 We can count on the VA for paper plates, cups, drinks and potato salad etc, but it looks as though their budget is a gift cert to Safeway....

 I won't even go into the complex feelings I have that the VA does not have a better budget for this...  :smt012

 But, I guarantee, in the future...  I will....   :smt002
