Spring Fling '13 ... Green River Lake

This poll is to set the date for our Spring Fling '13 @ Green (catchy title, no :Rofl )

Choices will be : April 6th, 13th, 27th, or May 4th. Reason being that there are tournaments on April 20th (Green) & March 30th (C-land). And yes, I do realize that Youth Turkey is on April 6th, & Spring Turkey season is on April 13th :Doh: ... but, that's a choice members will have to make, or be a factor in choosing another day.

Once a date has been chosen, we will open a thread for volunteers to bring the necessities for the Fish Fry that follows. We will be following the same proceedure as we have in the past, as far as start/stop time for fishing.

We will be launching out of Holmes Bend, and setting up the Fish Fry at the Picnic Pavilion (next to Restrooms, upper parking lot). You can, however, launch at any ramp you wish ... just be at Holmes Bend at the designated time for the Fish Fry (whether by road or water).

Unsafe weather conditions for that day will cancel the event. There will be a cancellation notice posted the day before, should the weather forecast dictate.

NOTE: You attend the event at your own risk ... Crappie.com, & those putting on the event, do not accept any responsibility for any mishaps.

Spring Fling '13 ... Green River Lake

I'd have a hard time coming on the 13th. My son has burned my ears pretty good about not turkey hunting with him any last year. I'd be more for the later dates, but realize that doesn't suit most. Whatever everyone decides, I'll do my best to get there. Always a good time.

I have a few questions I guess as i'm new to this. Do yall spend the night? Is this a tournament fishing or fun fishing? Will there be a trophy lie told?:Rofl Sounds like there might be a little food involved too, true?

For now its just for one day. Maybe one of these days we could have a weekend event. We meet at the lake at a time set. Meet everyone, then everyone go's fishing till about 1pm, clean all the fish, fry all the fish, with all the fixins. Maybe have a prize or two. Sit around and b.s till your ready to leave. I do know that there may be a few who will be staying the night. You can also look at Holmes Bend Boat Dock - Houseboating on Green River Lake in Kentucky Houseboats . That is where it is going down. They have a location button on their site for directions. If you think you might want to stay the night before or after, they have large cabins and kamper cabins.

There is no "tournament" format ... no money transactions ... it's all about just getting together & fishing, meeting & greeting, eating some good food, and everyone pitching in to make it a fun event. I'm sure there will be some "stories" told, but I don't know if any of them will be worth a "trophy" :Rofl

As soon as we come up with a date for the event, there will be another thread where we will outline what "necessities" will be needed ... and those attending can volunteer to bring or provide them. Anyone can attend the event, whether they volunteer to bring anything or not. We usually have enough people volunteering to bring the necessary items and/or do the fish cleaning, so no one should feel like they shouldn't attend just because they didn't "do anything".

If you want to see what last years event looked like, check out this thread : http://www.crappie.com/crappie/kentu...porters-3.html

(Note: sorry, no pics were taken "on the water" of anyone fishing, so as not to give away anyones honeyholes or supersecret spots !! )

how much longer before you decide on the date??

Considering that it looks like the 27th is in the lead & running away ... I will close the poll this coming weekend. That will give people that have not voted on a date, a chance to consider their choice. Hopefully, even those that did not choose the date that is the final choice, will still be able to change/make plans to attend.

We already have certain people that will contribute a large portion of the necessities for having the event. Should those people not be able to make it on the final choice date, it will be up to the "others" to volunteer the missing items.

Once the date is chosen & I close the poll ... I will post a thread for a head count of people attending & providing items/services needed. Any remaining items or services will need to be provided by the remaining attendees .. by their choice (volunteering), not by assignment. Any items/services that should happen to be needed, but not furnished by attending members ... I will take care of providing. But, it's a safe bet that we will likely have more than enough to make the event successful.

Don't hesitate to attend the spring fling, it's a wonderful time to fish, share stories and meet the great the people that post. Last years event was wonderful, had good times, good food and some great door prizes. Crappiepappy doesn't like taking credit for much but, it takes a lot of work to put this together, so a early thanks to him. Chucky can cook my fish anytime!! Yeah guys I will bring another wonderful engraved "jar" this year! Just need this years title. "Crappie.com Spring Fling 13" sound good?

Thanks, Charlie ... but, last years event was ALL Chucky's work. I just "helped". This year's event will be much the same.
And fear not ... Chucky WILL be the Chef Extraordinaire, once again :HandsClapping :woohoo

Crappie.com Spring Fling '13 sounds fine to me. Will the "jar" be awarded for the biggest Crappie brought in ??

I see no reason as to why the "jar" cannot be used for biggest Crappie caught. Couple more suggestions from others what should be title of this years event?, that will be etched onto the "jar". Lets go FISHING :fish

Charlie ... I'm "reviving" the title, so there won't be a need for other suggestions. I helped run & fished the Spring Fling & Fall Brawl series of Crappie.com tourneys for 5yrs, down at Watts Bar Lake. They were "prizes only" tournaments. It's been over 5yrs since that series ended, so I'm reclaiming the name(s) for OUR state events.

That being said .... yes, I do hope to hold a Fall Brawl on Green !! But, let's not get ahead of ourselves, here.

As to "why" the "jar" is given away ... it's YOUR prize to give away, so you decide what determines its winner.

If it was not for Crappiepappy organizing the event, we may not even have one. Thanks buddy, :ThumbsUp. I will cook again but, i will take the back seat on the rest. I want to get alot more pictures of this years event. I may not even fish that much on the day of the event so that i can make sure everything is ready when everybody comes back in.

See everyone soon.
