Spring Fling '13 @ Green .... head count & item procurement post

I have come in lately on this. Where exactly is the location? I recall you all doing it last year and sounded like a lot of fun. I just had to much going on and was trying to get a boat going. I got that taken care of this year and was thinking of maybe trying to make down and met a few folks. Might try and get a nephew or two that love to fish to come down with me. So where is it exactly and what time are things happening. Sorry if it was posted before, but I missed it in this thread when I was looking back over it.

Thanks - Ray

Ray ... the date is April 27th
The location is Holmes Bend Marina ( http://www.holmesbendresort.com/location.html ) on Green River Lake.
The start time for fishing hasn't been set in stone, yet ... but will likely be around 7AM Central Daylight Time ... in order to give everyone a chance to get their boats launched & do some meet & greet chatting & such. Fishing will conclude around 1PM, and catches will be brought back to the Marina's fish cleaning room, where they'll be processed & transported up to the picnic shelter. Chucky will have all the fryers heated up & ready to start cooking shortly afterwards.

If you do not have a GPS in your vehicle ... use Mapquest & print out the route details.

Looking like we may have a crowd coming (~40 people) ... so bare that in mind !! We can always use more food/deserts ... so, those that plan on coming & want to volunteer to bring something, and haven't posted their intentions ... you still have a couple of weeks to do so.

Current List :

Chucky - cooking supplies, door prize tickets, scales
Pappy - fish transport/breading bowls - picnic shelter fee - Hushpuppies
HunterShewmaker - salt/pepper/ketchup
Wannabe - paper plates, forks/spoons, cups, napkins
t.slabseeker - cole slaw, fillet knives
LittleJohn - homemade candy
raywright - baked beans, ID stickers/sharpie
wldkat - 2 bags of French Fries

We might also need someone to bring some large metal trays & reynolds wrap (for the fish/fries to be served on) ... and another bag of fries may not be a bad idea, either (unless "wldkat" is planning on bringing 2 "industrial size" bags of fries :Rofl )

Hey CP, I already have the large aluminum pans for the fish, fries and hush puppies. Picked them up a couple of weeks ago. Forgot to mention it, my bad.

Jack and I are also bringing pop. I've got cokes and pepsi and I think Jack is getting Mt dew and 7up also paper towels

OK ... so this is how we stand, currently :


Chucky - cooking supplies, serving pans, door prize tickets, scales
Pappy - fish transport/breading bowls - picnic shelter fee - Hushpuppies
HunterShewmaker - salt/pepper/ketchup
Wannabe - paper plates, forks/spoons, cups, napkins, asst'd soft drinks, paper towels
t.slabseeker - cole slaw, fillet knives
LittleJohn - homemade candy
raywright - baked beans, ID stickers/sharpie
wldkat - 2 bags of French Fries

Still have Reynolds wrap & deserts open, for anyone wanting to contribute a little something to the cause. Another couple of bags of fries may also be a welcome addition. And let me repeat myself, once again, by saying that "no one" is "required" to bring anything to attend this event. It's strictly voluntary !! And there won't be anything needed "left out" ... anything needed, not spoken for, will be taken care of by me.

Anyone volunteering to bring items/food, that realize they will not be able to make it, as planned ... please contact me ASAP, so we can get another volunteer or so I'll know what to add to "my" contributions list.

The wife & I will not make it this year, we just recently bought house at Rough River and I am sure we will be there. Take a bunch of pictures Pappy and post them please,and hope everyone catches their limit. We will miss a good time that is for sure.

Hey cp My son and I are planning on coming. We will be bringing two peach cobblers and some reynolds wrap. Thinking about meeting up with you on the Friday before and do a little scouting trip, staying overnight and fishing the event the next day. Hope to see you there if no bad luck.
