Hi, I’m looking forward to this event! Have you had a chance to prepare a note to those attending about cost, groceries, etc.? I am inexperienced in sink-line white bass fishing. I have the sink-line equipment, guidelines on white bass fishing and some bait flies Stacy Lynn set me up with last weekend. If possible, I would like to buddy up with someone. David Dow

David,
I sent a reply, via email, about the Damon 7 Lakes trip. Marcos is heading up the Harmon Creek Trip, as I am still in Colorado, working at site.

OK, after messing up the dates, twice, I think I finally got it right. The E-vite and now the web page match the dates now that Marcos, and others, let me know of the error.

The 2017 Bassmaster Classic will be on Lake Conroe that same weekend.

It likely won’t affect our fishing, but it may play hell on traffic getting back and forth to the Houston area on 45. Consider planning your drive times accordingly.
