It is an event where we, as a group, decide before the "season" starts when and where we are going to fish. We plan on a Saturday, so those who have to W*** and not retired (retarded) are able to join in.
Schedule at this link. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/flori...btogether.html

To start, we decide upon a place to hold the event. If we are going to cook, we look for a place which should provide a shelter, Pavilion, place where we can set up some gas cookers, clean restrooms and running water. Also a good ramp to get our boats in and out of the water, AND a body of water which might hold come crappie.
New this year, we have scheduled a few SLABTOGETHERS, where we will gather at a predefined ramp to fish until a predetermined time, return to the ramp and weigh our catches. NO food will be provided. Bring your own lunch. Weigh-in is scheduled at 3:00 PM. This gives those that travel long distances a good long day to fish.
At the events where there is a cookout we will have fried crappie filets,hush puppies, and other picnic foods, which are provided by the members.
We have donated door prizes which we give away and a donation jar, which helps with purchasing the trophies and the cooking supplies.
We are not a tournament group, which charges for entry fees, like some other groups.
Come join us and get your feet wet. Ask questions and give ideas on your fishing experiences.

and I'll add, an awesome group of guys/gals....

I attended my first in October, and was invited to fish the November get together..., excellent hospitality, great times, awesome food...

It's a haul for me coming from Lakeland, but definitely worth the experience, and the knowledge and willingness to share information is outstanding.
