That would be awesome Francois, it's looking like the group may get to 12 or 13 boats out next year. It's only going to get bigger and better

Next year if I'm lucky enough to attend, I'd love to take along a decent camera and dedicate (valuable fishing time :p) to taking some more quality shots of people in action. Maybe put together a small video. I know we all have our memories, but we are getting older, so it would be nice to have

You may be getting older Tia.....I however am already old.

Looks like a great trip, always wanted to venture down further into the states to give it a go. If there are any open spots next yr I'd be into dragging my boat down with room if someone needed a spot on a boat.

Zeke I believe the technique you were using would be called "feathering the chatterbait" right from Iaconellis mouth. Bobby Jordan was fishing it the same way and it was his most productive bait as well. It worked better for him in black and blue and it had to be 1/2oz. the 3/8oz version wasnt allowing him to get far enough casts with it. Like Corey I was too stubborn to throw one on due to the inexperience in actually using one. No confidence in it!! Ill have one tied on for next year youll see!

Yes that was what Corey was calling it as well and quoting Ike (you guys read the same articles!) ... Oh how you mis-judge your brother .. Corey's stubbornness didn't last long before he tied one of my chatterbaits (Original Chatterbait in Perch colour) and I think it was his weekend goal to catch fish on it .. which of course he did and was quite satisfied with the effort His go-to baits were still crankbaits and frogs but he won't forget the chatterbait fish!
