The Results Are In

Danny - Wife says what time you want us to thaw you out in the morning - sleeping in the boat - I almost fell outta my chair laughing.

We're leaving the house 6:30-6:45 so should be at the landing by 7:00. I think anytime after launching, guys should shove off when thay want - is that a shotgun start?

Cell # 407-583-9072

I'm already looking forward to the next big Central Florida Slabfest and will be happy to help organize and/or put some rules/regs, info sheets, checklists, etc together

See you guys in the morning!

If you guys ever want to hold a SlabFest at Lake Talquin, I will be glad to help out and I am sure we can work out something with Lake Talquin Lodge to hold it there.

Don;
A shotgun start would be where everybody is present and ready to go, then someone yells "GO" (shoots a gun) and everybody takes off.
So, naw, we ain't gonna do that, just leave when ya get ready to, etc.....
I plan on leaving here at 5am in the morning, that should put me over there sometime around 6am.

If yall fishin proples will call me between 11:30 and 12,will make decision on setting up one fryer or 2 and let ya know what is set up and stuff. Also, where is the weigh in going to take place, the park or the marina? Will have a protable cleaning station so can clean right near cooking area. Also bringing a couple of big garbage bags. Really looking forward to all this, sure hope the fish will be in the mood too.

Same here, I would help out any where but the only Lake in Fl I have ever fished is Talquin. However I think I might mossy over to Lochloosa and Orange here pretty quick. Going to one of the 3 Sunday.

Robert and Tim;
Appreciate your interest in the slabfest. This thing was pretty much a last minute thought and we all just kinda jumped on it.
Reason we're having it here (Lake Monroe) is cause we're all pretty much local.
I fished Talquin years ago with my grandfather, he had a house/boatdock up there, was a great place.
My problem is that I have a little s-10 chevy truck to pull a 17ft boat. I got five speeds but got to run in fourth gear to keep her going. I have run all the way down to Stick Marsh for a day. Going to Talquin would be a weekend trip for sure (long way), but, perhaps by this time next year I might be in a better position to make the trip, etc.
Hopefully this fest today will energize us all to be anticipating the next one, and we'll put forth enough time to get folks organized and a plan of action formulated, etc, etc....
Is 3:30am Sat morn right now. 40 deg on the back porch. Fixin to load the boat and make a bunch of coffee, then head out.
Yeah, lets start already thinkin about the next one, and perhaps, if not Talquin, then one of those lakes up around Gainsville. will see, etc.....
Have a nice day,
Danny

Gainsville area would be nice as well, although I dont know any of the lakes around me. I guess I should get out and learn a few of them but for some reason Talquin just keeps calling me back. Either way let me know about the next one and I will help out and do what I can
