Who wants to head to Falcon? Split costs. - 06/28/11 03:46 PM

If yall dont know Falcon is on FIRE right now! 30-40lb sacks are like giveaways and 50lb sacks are very accomplishable. Looking for someone to go to falcon with me to help split cost. Im a cheap bastard and we will crash in my truck, not like we'll sleep much with the adrenilin rush. Looking to leave Sun night and fish til about noon on tuesday and then head back.
looking @ about:
GAS
$210 - Truck
$200 - Boat (probably less since the fish are so well stacked up right now!)
so like $225 for whoever wants to go and you can sleep in the truck on the way there and ill play whatever music you like laugh
And whatever you want to bring for meals and tackle.

I did not have any problems sleeping after a long day of fishing in the heat down there. In fact a bed was awfully nice.

You planning on leaving the truck running with a/c on while you sleep or you just gonna tough it out with the heat?

I love Falcon as much as anyone, so I just wanted to re-set your expecatations so you do not come home disappointed. 40lb sacs are not given away by any means. The top notch guides out there are typically doing 35lbs a day. 50lb sacks are going to be extremely tough to accomplish. I've been out there probably 40 days this year with great sticks and we have not done a 50 yet.

Agreed not gonna happen. U might catch a bunch of fish and plenty of 5's. But 5 tens. come on! What kind of boat u got?

It does happen, but rarely. I've been down there a bunch and never had a 50+ day. Had one trip where our best five were 52 lbs but that was over a period of five days. Gotten very close on single days a few times, but I think 49.50 was best single day if I recall. I've caught two double digits in one day and had another one caught by my buddy that day, but still not five of them. However, some of the top guides and locals do catch 50 pound sacks periodically. Some months are better than others.

if he's in the army he's prolly been in worse conditions for longer.

I'd be uncomfortable but i could manage.

I'd prefer to be in a hotel at night, but i can afford it.

if i was younger and broker i'd do it.

I've camped out at fayette for a few days before, but i stayed in the park area and had a tent.

I've spent really long periods of time with nothing but a rucksack, i could do it but now prefer not too.

extension cord

i haven't been to the ramp at falcon but surely there is somewhere you could plug in.

are there no state parks with power?

i think they should at least bring a tent

they are only fishing monday and 1/2 day tues maybe they will have enough juice for the whole time if they don't run the troller hard all the time,

i fish two days back to back with one charge all the time

Re: Who wants to head to Falcon? Split costs. - 06/28/11 06:21 PM

is that going to be a big enough boat for that lake?

i mean you could use a john boat if you wanted too but it would beat you to death,

I used to crindge taking my starfire 150 out on Toledo bend and running from houssen bey up to pendleton if it was rough

i imagine Falcon is worse

Is drinking allowed?

What if you meet a girl and she says let's go back to your place?!

Do you mind a snorer?

Are you gonna yell HOOAH with every fish you catch?

Please think about these questions before you answer!

Re: Who wants to head to Falcon? Split costs. - 06/28/11 06:30 PM

You can drink all you want just no pike in the truck or boat! Girls are all on u im married so i wont. Be a good wingman. Only 1 hoahh for the whole trip everyone after you gotta chug a beer! And snore all you want!

If I wasn't a old man I would go.

If I was 25 again, we would have already left.

Meh, I just got back from Falcon and I have an 18ft Champion. It was rough Saturday, but nothing unmanagable.

If it blows real hard you just trailer and don't run far.
