Crappiepappy - 2 elec cords, paper towels, couple of large bowls

Mossyoakman/stsburnsy - French Fries - enough for a heaping helping for ~ 10 people

I figured most people would probably be bringing drinks, anyway, so they'd have the kind of drink they like. Even if some run out, while on the water, I'm sure others will have extras ... and if not, there's always the store/marina, and they should have some.

BUT ... if you want to, sure ... a case of Pepsi or Coke or RC's should be sufficient backup

... stsburnsy won't be able to make it. I'll make up for his "french fry" commitment.

Anyone else that finds themselves unable to attend, and have volunteered to bring cookout preps .... PM me or post here by midnight tonight, if possible. I'll try and recoup any losses from your inability to attend.

Other than that ... looking forward to seeing ya'll tomorrow morning !!

We can tweak the cookout time, if need be ... but, I'm thinking 2PM CST (local time) would give us plenty of time to get in a days fishing. We also have to consider about an hour of prep time (cleaning fish/heating oil/setting up) ... so it would be good if everyone came back in around 1PM CST. That only gives us about 4hrs of fishing time ... so, everyone needs to git jiggy wid it & catch some fish ASAP :p

So are we meeting at homes bend at 730 (CST) or (EST)

I almost positive it is between 7:30 and 8:30 EST. Wife and I are excited poles and boat are ready takes us about 2.5 hours to drive from LaGrange I even have a zip lock bag of fillets that I just caught that I am bringing with us along with the tarter.

0730 EST (0630 CST) .... or daylight/sunup (as the case may be). I've allowed an hour for everyone to arrive, launch, meet/greet, etc .... as I'm fairly sure there will be some there before sunup, and some will be there 5mins after the rest of us all head out to fish :D


And just so everyone knows .... there's reportedly going to be 3-4 Bass tournies running tomorrow. Most of them will be launching at the other end of the lake, but I'm sure there'll be some traffic coming up river, looking for shallow/warmer water & bedding fish. Let's just hope the tubers & jet skiers think the water is still too cool to play in :p ... otherwise it could get a little crowded. Of course, if you go up river, past the bridge ... I think you'll get into the "stickups", which should be a little calmer area. I don't know for sure, though ... because I've never fished past the bridge :o I'm riding shotgun with BadBrad, so I go where he goes

cya'll in the AM !!

DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA'S :D

We want lots of pics to show off
