Green River Lake Slabfest 2011 date ....

I'm going to call it ... and make the 16th our Slabfest date Thumbs Up as I don't see much chance of any of the other dates getting enough votes to pass it.
I'm also thinking we need to start getting our "list of necessities" together, and find out who's going to bring what ;)

I'll bring some bowls (for the filets), & a couple of bags of hushpups. I also have a 10qt Masterbuilt fryer that we can use, if we don't have enough volunteers to bring theirs. It's never been used, and I don't have a gas tank for it, yet, so I'd have to get one & test out the connections before I commit to bringing it.

We need someone to check with Holmes Bend, and see if we can get the picnic shelter for the 16th. If we can't, we will need suggestions on where to hold the fish fry (and maybe even another place to launch ?? ).

SO ... who's in, and whatcha gonna bring to the party ?? :D

... cp :cool:

I will go reserve the picnic shelter.

Picnic shelter is reserved for the 16th and they said the restrooms will be open also.

I'll be there for sure with a fishing buddy, Im excited I actually get to come and don't have to work this year on the day selected. Crappiepappy I'm open to bring whatever is needed, I have about everything but the kitchen sink, so just let me know what we need and it's done.

Hey cp, I've already talked to you about this so you just tell me what to bring. I've got a 20 lb tank of propane, if that is what you're talking about. You are free to use it if you want.Thumbs Up You can pm me with anything else we might need.;)

Atta boy, Cuzz. thanks for taking care of that. We'll pass the hat & recoop the cost (same as we did for BadBrad).

CP, I'm still uncertain about making it on the 16th. I've taken Harrison turkey hunting opening day every year since he's been able to go, and he's already eager to go after them again. He is driving now, and could actually embark on his own for the day. I'll see how he feels about it and will let you know something very soon. Sure would like to make it, had a great time last year.

Rowdy .... I do not have a cell phone. I will monitor the lake conditions, & weather .... and make a "go, no go" decision by mid day Friday. Right now it's not looking too good for Saturday ... but, I'll give it til then to see what the likely weather/water conditions are going to be. We'll try & pull this off ... but, if it's going to be cold AND raining, then it's likely that I'll cancel.

... cp

We got 3.5 in of rain last night it will rise several feet!!!
Rowdy

OK, I'm good to go. Add wldkat and wldkat III to your list. Me and my boy will be there.

I can also bring:

a large bowl for fillet coating
yellow corn meal
fish cooker/oil (well used)
electric filet knife
and some french fries

We have never fished the lake so all I'll need is someone to point us in the right direction. LOL
