Fall Brawl for Ya'll ....

Let's see a show of hands, on how many would plan on attending a Fall Brawl at Green River Lake ... Nov 2nd ...

It would be held at Holmes Bend Marina ... with a fish fry following the days fishing. (if the weather permits)

Similar setup as the Spring Fling get together, but tapered down a bit on the door prizes.

For those that don't know what this is all about, or haven't attended one of our get togethers : we basically fish from daylight til about 1 or 2PM ... bring our catches in & clean them ... then our chef extraordinaire fries up the fish, french fries, & hushpuppies ... and volunteers bring other sides & desserts, and everybody chows down. Then, if we have some sponsors donate things to the cause .. we draw tickets from the hat, & give away the donations.

You do not have to bring anything, in order to attend ... food & prep items are strictly voluntary. We only ask that at least one person in your party be a Crappie.com member. We could, however, need some $ donations or pass the hat to cover the $50 fee for rental of the PicNic Pavilion.

It's still 6 weeks away ... but, we need to know about how many would attend, so that we can gauge whether or not to have the fish fry & if we'll need side dishes and all the prep items.

Post your replies with how many will be in your party !! The only thing "confirmed" at this point in time, is the date.

OK .... I'll start things off :

Myself, cjpar3 & wife, and Chucky in my party ... so that's 4 for sure.

Pappy I'm in forsure. Love meetin crappie folks.:biggrin

I'll be there and probably Jack will be with me. I'll be looking for the needs list as I still have some supplies from last time. as you said weather permitting

Be there plus one guest.

Be there with one prob. two........

there will be 2 of us

Bug and myself are in pappy! My boy and me had a great time this spring!

George will be with me this time also.

i will be there and at least 1 more.....

Pass the word along to all your Crappie.com member buddies !! We need to get more commitments before this event will be undertaken. A decision on go or no go will be made late next week. IF it's a go .... I'll put up a "needs list" and attending members can make it known what they'll volunteer to bring (based on number of likely attendees). Don't have anything to bring, or the needed items are already spoken for ... no problem; you can donate a couple of $$ to cover the Pavilion rental fee. You're still getting a big bang for your bucks, and you're contributing to the cause !!

(to those still on the fence about coming, who've never attended one of these events)
Anyone that's been to any of these events can tell you .... a LARGE time is had by all !!

We'll have another thread for all that, Dave. Right now we're just trying to get enough interest in having the event. I'll make a determination on that later this week, then start the "needs" list.

... cp :kewl

Count is up to ~24 as of right now. I'd really like to see another 6-12 people add their names to the list ... well, 6 or so "members" + guests or family members would be fine.

Things happen, and people that planned on coming aren't able to, or don't show .... so I'm only counting on 2/3 of the group to actually show up. That's how I arrive at a minimum number of attendees, and how I'm basing whether to have the event or not.

I'll give it a few more days ... so get the word out & let's get this show on the road :ThumbsUp

And anyone that has never been on Green River Lake, and is hesitant to come because they wouldn't know where/how to fish it .... I'll show you where & how I'm catching them, and I'm sure others will give you hints/tips on where/how !! So COME ON & join us ... you'll have a LARGE TIME, guaranteed !!

Pappy there mite be 4 in my party.

They will be two of us attending

I will try to get there and bring a friend. I will have to check schedules and get back with you.

Count is up to ~ 30 people with 4 weeks still to go. I'd really like to see more people show interest and post their "intent" on attending. I usually count on about 3/4 of those that "say" they're coming or are interested in coming .... to actually end up coming. Various things do happen, and get in the way of plans to attend ... and that's understandable. That's why I only count on 3/4 of the number showing interest, actually making it. These events are truly a "more the merrier" type of situation.

While this is the first Fall event we've had on Green, it's likely to not be the last. The interest was great enough, earlier in the year, that made me decide to give it a try. We make a success out of this Fall Brawl, and there will be more in the years to come. We may even consider making it a "more than one day" event, in the future. But, let's just concentrate on making this one a success, for now.

Is there any items that need to be brought? I may have 3-4 guys coming aboard also.
Dave Ervin, Gary Musgrave, Rick Kruse, Ron Ervin
We can all bring something, just tell us what you need? Also is the Holmes Bend area closed? If so, where would we meet, launch, etc???

Bassky .... Holmes Bend is privately owned & will be open. My party already has a cottage rented for the weekend, and the Picnic Pavilion is reserved for the fish fry. The campsites may be closed for the season, but they're independently run & would likely be closed anyway, by that time.

We look to have the food & preparations items taken care of, but if you want ... you can always bring another side dish. It's not required, though ... totally voluntary. And/or you can always drop a couple dollars in the hat, to help defray the cost of the Pavilion rental.

Bring your posse & come on down !!
