Thread: Barnett Bash: April 22, 2017

Alright fellas, mark your calendars! The Barnett Bash will be held the weekend of April 22, 2017 on the beautiful Ross Barnett Reservoir in Jackson, MS!

For the RV/tent crowd, you have two convenient options.

Goshen Springs Campground - Goshen Springs

Timberlake Campground - Timberlake Campground

I will try to keep all official events on the north end of the lake adjacent or near too the Goshen Springs site. However, Timberlake is only a short drive away.

For anyone else seeking lodging, there are several options for hotels in the area. All within minutes of the lake and no more than a twenty minute drive to the potential event sites. PM me and I will send you a list of links of local hotels. Many hotels have room for boats/trailers, anyone not able to park their boat over night, please contact me and. we will work on getting you a place to safely park your boat.


Tentative Itinerary of events is as follows.

Friday - April, 21

Meet and greet dinner and lake review. I encourage all to attend. Mix and mingle and we can discuss the recent lake patterns. Barnett can be tricky to navigate, plenty of obstructions sit just below the waterline at normal pool. Don't be a chump and get hung on a stump(or lose your lower unit) it happens to the best of us.

Saturday - April 22, 2017

Sunrise-ish - Ramp meeting Goshen Springs Landing. Bait/supplies/breakfast available at Tommy's Trading Post adjacent to the ramps. Great chance to support a local landmark.

Fishing

Afternoon - Main event - Potluck/Fish fry. Tentative short fishing seminars from our Tournament/Senior anglers and Fisheries Wildlife personnel. Family, fellowship, and fun.

Sunday

Coffee/Donuts at the ramp and enjoy another day on the water. For anglers staying through the weekend we can organize a dinner in the Campground or at a local restaurant.


I will update everyone as events become set in stone.

Plenty of you have comments and messaged me offering help and support. THANK YOU! Give me a few days to organize my thoughts and I will begin contacting each of you.
