Feb 17th Nightstalk
Ok folks looks like we are on for the 17th and I want to address a few things to make sure I have my ducks in a row.
First - Who is comming for sure? I know some if not most of you will not know untill closer to the time. I would just like to know who is deffinately in, to help me in determining how many burgers to bring.
Second - Start time for the stalk will be 4:30. Sunset is at 5:54 that day so if we all get there by 4:30 it will give us some time to eat some burgers and meet one another. That should also give all of us time to get out anchored and rigged up before dark.
Third - Of those that are comming let me know if you are going to be a boater or non boater. Please, please, please come even if you dont have a boat. CEB, Slipcork and myself will all for sure have our boats, and we could take as many as 10 to 12 non boaters among us alone.
Fourth - I am going to bring a charcoal grill and cook some burgers. I will also bring the buns, cheese, and condiments. If anyone else wants to bring something like chips, beans, whatever to go with please feel free to do so. Again I am just cooking some burgers so we will all have a chance to meet one another and not be rushed to get out there on this first of what I hope are many nightstalks.
I am going out to the river this weekend with Slipcork to sink more condos. I have 10 ready to roll and will probably have more by the time we fish so everyone should have a nice setup. CEB, Slipcork and myself are going to get there early on the 17th and will have the spots marked with cheap throw away bouy markers so finding a spot will be easy, even if this is your first trip to the Little Maumelle. I just hope the weather is cooperating as the only things I can think of that would make us cancel are excessive winds or MUDDY water. Either of those conditions will cause us to have to rescedule.

Let me know when you want to come do the boo. This weekend I am going to try and juggle condo sinking, Bob Segar, and a squirrel hunt in with some Valentines crap but the boo is so close to my house I wont get in trouble helping you out.
Do note that you dont need to bring a condo to the nightstalk unless you just want to. Was going to kick the idea of a condo sinking party around when we get together on the 17th.
Look forward to meeting you.

Count me in, maybe the boy too. If he dosen't make it, I would be pleased to have a pasanger with me. I never have needed to fish at night. Do I need a sumersable light? I will bring some soft drinks.

I would suggest you get a submersable light and a light for the boat. You can get them for like 15 bucks at any of the sporting good stores. I reccomend the brinkman starfires for the price. I would also pick up one of the 1 burner wally world lanterns that uses the 1lb bottle. They work great in a boat and are handy at the house if you loose power. Dont think you will be out more than 35.00 bucks for it all.
If Diet Dr Pepper doesent come there should be plenty of room in others boats. Every single person that is commited to comming says they have room and will be glad to have the company. You might just want to check it out and get you a list of nightstalking gear you want to pick up at a later date.
Look forward to seeing you again.

Man Gooch, I wish I could make it. I love that night stalking stuff! Angie and Devin will be flying out to Washington on the 16th and I will have Laikyn for the weekend. If I can manage it though I will be fishing those famous "RAZORBACK CONDOS" at Larto! :D
One of these days I will get up there and meet some of the Arkansas gang. Sounds like all I would have to do is drive up there and leave the boat at home which would help me out alot, don't want to haul it that far. Sounds like yall have a bunch of great members that wouldn't mind sharing a boat with an old southern boy (I may have to bring some shrimp to bribe them though!:D )

I think that I will be running some yo-yo's that night (as long as I can pry Gooch's dead fingers off of them). So, I hope to run some yo-yo's and make the rounds by everyone to see how they are doing, if they need anything, if they want to move, etc...
Since I don't plan to anchor down, I will be more than happy to lend out for the evening...my anchors, a submersible light or two, and a lantern. The one thing that most should be aware of is that nightstalkin' is kindof like spider-riggin'. You need several poles out and therefore, you need some rod holders. So, I will also lend out my rod holders to the person that wants to drill some holes in his boat. I doubt that anyone will take up the offer considering the hole-drilling thing, but just let me know.
Hey Shadow, if you ever get the chance to come up here, you can leave the boat at home. That's so long as you bring me as many of those shrimp as I can eat...:D

I will do you better than that!! I will put you up for the night/nights and we can cook them shrimp on my deck. Might even invite Gooch and the rest. As long as he does not fall off my deck though. It is elevated about 16' at it's highest point. I live on the side of a mountain. Yall don't have those in Lake Charles.One of these days I will get up there and meet some of the Arkansas gang.

As of right now, I am in! Looks like there is plenty of room, so I will come as a non-boater. i will bring a flashlight or two, 3 jig poles, and a spinning rod. Looks like drinks and chips are readily available, so I will bring some paper plates, paper towels and some forks and such. Do I need to bring my own life jacket or does everyone have plenty? What about bait? I'm assuming the bait of choice will be shinners? I can bring some bait as well. Also, will we be spider riggin via tightline or bobbers? I would like to have my poles all set up by the time I get there.
