So you Texas boys can mark your calendars. Last weekend in February, the 27th and the 28th. Ya'll need to come join us. I know Skip and Ferdi will be there. Since you fellas don't have a gathering (wish you did), we can make this a combined event. Excellent food and fellowship. Think about it. Details will follow probably in September sometime.
Can't wait to do it again this coming FEBRUARY. Good fellowship, good fishing, and exceptional food. You won't meet a stranger at this gathering, maybe some strange folks but hey the price is right. lol Come on over and enjoy everyone. Ferdi
Fredi after this year they decided to hold off a little longer next year to make sure winter is over, LOL! It should be a lot better actually and for sure the spawn will be on. Look on the La. board to see new dates, I don't remember right now.Quote:

I know lots of stuff was passed around at the get together but classes couldn't hurt. Just a thought, with or without it will be a fun family time get together. Can't wait. Ferdi
Thanks Ferdi, big fun for sure. Too bad Connie didn't try the alligator, the folks tore that up :). I guess I'll be doing that again. You Texas folks need to join us - right across the Pendleton River bridge. The SRA (Sabine River Authority) San Miguel campground is nice, cabins remodeled, affordable, we rent a nice lodge to hold plenty of folks, etc. Sure would enjoy if more of you Texas folks would join us. It's okay if there aren't any Aggies coming over, I probably talk enough trash to make up the difference of a few :). Details in September.
this sounds like a fun time....I hope I can make it!!!!
You surely won't be disappointed Chuck if you can make it, prepare for some good times and seeing the faces that go along with the names. Definitely good folks for sure. Ferdi

Do try to make it, there is a lot of fun and good people having a good time! Also lots of good food too, LOL!
That's what I like to hear, getting you Texas boys fired up for this (even though Ferdi kept telling me he is from Ohio :)). Just keep this event in mind fellas, thanks.
Sounds like fun!
Yeah Fredi dosent have a regular Texas accent exactly, LOL!Quote:

If frozen taters don't work, bring your own and throw them in the fryer.:Rofl I really enjoyed meeting a whole bunch of very amiable folks and getting a ride in an new
boat with frozen lids that had to be pried open.:yikesAnd that later date means I could give more thought to pullin' my 5th wheel to the park. I realize Slab was the
cause for all that snow showin' up like it did, but it was exciting for all that made the trip. Don't forget to remind some of us older active fellers that are so busy doing
other things that we might forget. Looking forward to the new year and seeing all of you'all again.
is there a motel near by???
Will do Joe, Ann and I will be looking forward to seeing you and Anna again.
Cypress Bend Resort is close enough and a nice place from everything I hear. It's located right next to Pendleton Bridge. I know they have some camp grounds over near the location as well. Also some cabins, but not much in extras at the cabins, but they are there really close. If you want a nice place I would say Cypress Bend would be it.Quote:

Good discounts for senior citizens. We rent the large enclosed pavilion (lodge) which has plenty of room for everyone, and very comfortable to get out of the weather.
thanks...looking for a place two old coots and lay their heads a couple nights........
You'll have a great time Chuck, won't meet any folks nicer than this bunch. Really looking forward to next Feb. Keep an eye on the Louisiana State Forum as well as the Texas forum and Randy will be posting all the pertinent information leading up to the festivities. It is a good idea to get reservations early though so you are sure of having a place to sleep. Ferdi
Thanks fellas, excellent fellowship for sure at the gathering. I'll put up the official post in September some time. Stay tuned!

Bring him chuktx. We don't fish with putters. just use them for light anchors.:Rofl Looking forward to seeing all y'all Texans. I'm a Texan wannabe.

We will be posting more about the gathering when it gets closer Chuck. On Friday evening, we do a pot luck. Saturday evening will be our big fish fry along with shrimp and gator. We will start another thread for the list of things that folks will bring, so stay tuned! Big fun for sure.
