Fall Camp Poll

Time for a run off looks like to me.

You got to be kidding......run offs are when something is close.....looks to me like Pickwick ran away with it

Concideing Pickwick and grenada were top on the list in the firrst thread the other 2 should have never been there.:twocents
50% of the vote aint a run away either.

Well look at the percents.....its def not 50 50......they gave us four good choices....I didnt vote for Pickwick you can click on the vote numbers and see how everyone voted by the way. It really dosent matter to me where it is but I dont see where voteing and then voteing again is gonna accomplish anything. I hope it gets settled soon and a date set so we can plan and move on.

You know what they say in Memphis...... Vote early vote often !!!!!!! :deadhorse

And keep counting until you get the results you want.

I missed the first one at Enid where big foot was spotted driving a golf cart thru the woods. Initially the camps were done by polls, took forever, poll to eliminate lakes down to two, poll to vote on the final two and finally a poll to vote on the date. Besides that, things were ok with the polls. Then, we had a poll for a camp, everybody and their brother voted, Arkabutla won....unfortunately, only Ted, Canepole and Brenda, pstone and his wife, Chris and I were about the only ones there (if I left someone out sorry) The problem, folks voted and dictated our location that had no intention of coming to camp, so we stopped the polls and just picked a lake and date.

Then, it was decided to have a tourney combined with the camps with the lake master setting the lake and place. The problem, people traveling long distances to lakes they had never fished and no one would share any info about where to catch fish. So, we eliminated the tourney part. I personally think one person, the lake master for FJ's, setting the date and place works best and eliminates a lot of headaches from the process.

To me, anyway, camps are about socializing, meeting new c.com people, fishing with folks you wouldn't normally get to fish with, sharing information on locations and techniques to catch fish, and growing our numbers of active c.com members. Having said that, I hate the fact that our group would consider two camps on or near the same date. Would be tough or impossible to make both camps and would reduce the number of folks at each camp. We have had a camp at each of the big four multiple times, which means most of us have had them in our own backyard at times and have had to drive some distance for camps at other times. I might catch flack for this but I'm gonna say it anyway, it seems like some won't attend a camp if it's not in their own backyard and are willing to split the group for their convenience. What's next, an argument over who gets to use the fish fryer that the group pitched in to buy???

I would hope we could have one camp in the fall and any and all that have the means would attend. Hope to see a large turnout in the fall, wherever it may be, and i'll do my best to get time off work to be there and enjoy seeing everyone again.

Tight lines, ya bunch of gewbers!

That Butla camp was a prime example of being about the fellowship because the fishing sucked, even for you local guys, but we had a good time anyway. I think that's the one where you took that beef loin that Billbob brought and cooked it for him. We were packing light that trip cause we were only staying a couple nights and when Billbob saw the big ole pack of hot dogs we brought, he said you're not eating those #*&!@ things! He also fixed breakfast for all of us now that I think about it. We played boat "valet" for Cane Pole cause there weren't any docks. The day fishingpox came over he picked up ice for anybody who needed it. The was the smallest turnout I can remember of all the camps we've been to, but it was still a good time and worth the effort.

Good point John, 50% is not a runaway but 51.16% is twice as much as 25.58% (at current totals) I do believe :) and even in Obuma gubment, I think that would be win :)

I wanna change my vote to Reelfoot.:Rofl

Take the top 2 and have run off, rigged from the get go. In the other thread it was down to 2 lakes for the most part then you throw 4 in the mix, typical election stradegy, put your candidate out ther then split the vote for the rest.
