Thread: Spring Camp

Hey sorry I am late on this. Our usual weekend is always the first weekend of May to avoid Mother’s Day.
Sheryl and I have been moving to a new place with no steps and a significant down size.
We’ve done this enough, I’m wondering how much we need to work on the menu besides grilling/bbq on Friday night and fish fry on Saturday night.
I’m still planning on coming down but physically will have to downplay some of my normal input.
I plan to have the boat shed reworked so I can make the weekend work.

I will not make it for Crappie camp this year other engagements but will be down April 5-13 gonna miss seeing the Crappie.com crew. Anyone going to be round I can pick up some Spotted Cow and drop it off.

Reserved A-65. 4/1 to 4/4.

Dad n I have our usual spots. A something..
I’m next to the twins and dad is behind us closer to bigby.

I rather imagine some of the crowd are wondering about my absence from the forum, especially at crappie camp time.
We lost my mother last September and ax executor of the estate, that pulled me away from fishing for the fall. Then we decided to move to a retirement community with no stairs.
Moved from 2600 sq ft plus a 30 ft shed with a loft to 1400 sq ft and a 1 car garage. We are still unpacking after 6 weeks.
That being said, I have not been discussing camp. Sheryl and I are not going to be camping but will be down both Friday and Saturday afternoon. More to follow on next post…..

My questions are for the group.

1) should I try to get our usual site or do we want to maybe work into the area by baitwaster and/or Keeferfish?
2) if we are going to do burgers/dogs, do we need my big Weber and other grills from the shed?
3) is anyone smoking a pork butt?
If so I think we have done this enough to know what we need.
Sheryl and I will make cobbler and bring baked beans as usual. Probably pick up some salads at price chopper.
4)assuming we want to cook fish, do we need my camp stove and pans to cook fish and taters.
I still have plates etc in the shed.

I know this is late but we just don’t have the $1000 or so it takes to camp for 5 days.
We still hope we do something as a group and are looking forward to seeing everyone.

How many of us are confirmed?
I'm always in the 'keep it simple' camp. As much as I enjoy the variety of food, I'm not willing to put in the work. Plus I can always eat leftovers from the twins
I can bring a stack of wood to feed the fire in the site with the twins (or my site A34) to keep from needing to rent another.
A fish fry is always fun. Your cooker and pans is probably the only way to go if everyone wants to do that.
If we still want to potluck On Friday, I can do a pork butt.

I say and when I say that, it includes Joedog since we shared one not so bright brain : KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid - works the best for us.

No tent, No meal, No plans. Not enough people to worry about it or put up all the work and fuss. We would of course love to visit with whoever is there when we're there. We are still up in the air on when we will be there. Might be the same time, might be sooner and if the lake is 15 to 20 ft high might not be at all. Hope to see ya peeps!
