I have had some inquiries about when the gathering will be. I normally put up the poll around the middle of august, but I figured no time like the present. got some info for yall about the mindset of the dates for the poll. the first three or four years I attended the gathering, we had it early in November. everyone always caught plenty of fish and our gathering did not compete with any holidays. over the last few years, it has gotten later and later in the year. last year it was the third weekend of December and we had a very low attendance. CDC members were having Christmas parties and doctor appointments and it was just too late in the year. so, with the input of several members whom I truly respect, we decided to go back to offering the dates in November instead of December. so that is why these dates have been chosen for the poll.

on a sidenote, my wife and I, along with my little boy went to darbonne last year the first weekend of November and I absolutely hammered the fish. I bet I cleaned over 200 fish in 2 1/2 days. so I truly think that moving this gathering back to November will benefit everyone across the board.

everyone gets one Vote. I will leave the poll open for 31 days. if ya have any questions holler at me. I will post info on how to go about booking your cabin as we get closer to the end of the poll.

Thanksgiving is on 28 November this year.
