Thread: Thanks To All

Thanks to all that were able to attend the "Get Together" today at Fountainhead Marina. And a special thanks to the vendors for sharing information regarding their products and the "freebies" they handed out. Thanks to Ed, the owner of this site, for the gifts he sent down to us. Thanks to the "Liprippers" and "Fish-on" for all their hard work. And another thanks to Jason and his staff at the marina.

I really enjoyed meeting all of you and left today with a smile knowing you guys are the greatest bunch of fishermen\women anywhere to be found. Looking forward to our next get together.

Me too, I had a great time. Thanks to the guys and gals for all the hard work to make this happen. A special thanks to the vendors and to Jason. If you were a no-show today, you missed meeting some wonderful people.

I had a good time for the time I WAS there. I guess the good news is that the Reaper machine, @ 75% didn't sink! She did pretty good and all systems worked how I wanted them to other the switch on the rear bilge. I somehow lost a connection somewhere in line and had to rob the areator power.

Fishing wise was a stinker. My son caught one 5" dink and I caught one around 9". Deep, shallow, didn't matter. Couldn't buy a fish. Went back to the Marina area and temp sensor went off. Looked towards the pee hole and nada. Let her cool and worked the dock areas, then loaded up for the house.

All in all it was worth the trip just to meet so many good folks. Thanks to all that came and Lip and fishon. Jason buger deal was a bargain, and I fell in love with his cashier, Stacy. Never figured I'd meet a dream woman on a fishing trip.

Anyone know where I could score a water pump for a 60hp Merc on a Sunday???

Great day guys!

Ive most likely got one on the shelf at my shop. Ill send you a PM with my cell number and hook you up if youd like.

If he hadn't been out fiddling around in his boat Saturday during the drawing, he'd won that $1000 because they called his ticket number.

I think he better sell that boat. :D

I left my boat on the trailer until the big time drawing was over. No way I was going to miss the good stuff just to putter around the marina waters for a few minutes!

You two should have paid me a grand just for the op of meeting such a fine speciman of a 50 something icon that I am. (not to mention, good looking, really nice guy, bout perfect in every way, not stuck up or conceited in any way shape of form)

Now excuse me while I go wash my socks and dirty shorts.

Now, now, in all fairness, we were told to meet back after lunch break at 1:30. I went out and installed 4 cleats, a transducer, and launched the boat. Tied off near the pumps, went inside at 1:33 and had missed out on the drawings. You guys had me going for about 30 seconds on that! I think it was a mean and dirty trick. Too bad I didn't think of it, Ha! It was great to meet you Jim. I'm gonna have to make the track solo someday so you can come along, or we'll take your pontoon out, does not matter. I tend to go to bed early, but ain't skeered for one second to launch a boat at 2 in the morning to hunt down some new slabs that have moved into the shallows after dark. I actually prefer the overnight fishing the spawn to the daytime. So many fish tend to disappear off their beds after a couple of hours of daylight. That would also give me a reason to roll that way and flirt with Jasons cashier on the pretense of buying a burger:p.

Oh, and if Louis ever tells anyone he caught a 2lb Crappie, I don't reckon I would believe him after getting to shake his hand. Wonder if he goes by legpuller on other forums?
