We are bringing fish and crabsalad.
I will be there starting Thursday and my buddy Jeff ( vbottom) will be tagging along. For liars club I will be bringing jalapeno boudin that I got in Louisiana. I also have an assortment of Amish cheese. I'm hoping Jeffs wife will make no bakes and lemon cake.
Just Steve and Just Judy
Friends from Case Plastics/Fishing Complete will also be there to pass out free stuff and get to know our group. Jeri Toner is one of the Executives and Bob Johnson is on their Pro Staff (and a member on here) he also lives on one of the lakes.
We are bringing King Mackeral smoked fish dip/crackers for liars club......not sure what Judy is doing for the potluck.
Getting close, is it just the three of us? Man, I might be able to place in the fish tourney.
We will be there late Thursday

Long story short,
I am still "Tentative", but holding the ink pen to make it real.
Waiting on the Vacation Approval for Friday.
Jerry,
That makes one of us two, LAST.
Between the two of us, I'm Polish, so I'm expected to do really bad anyway..........
I can sleep in, relax, go fishing, come back, take last, and not one person would blink, or think twice.......
Being Polish does have its advantages at times......:Rofl
I plan on stopping in for the liars club Friday , have to work on Saturday :(
I'm still up in the air. If I do come, it will be for Saturday only
Waffle Farms
WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, as I just booked my site..................
I will bring the Fry cutter, and the stuff for French Fries.
What else do I need to bring beside a catchers MIT for Jerry?
Will be loading up truck, and headed down Thursday, and be there for Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

Oh but I know Steve would let me sleep there. You on the other hand...
I have an engagement on Friday otherwise, I would come down then. I'm not sure about Saturday yet however.
But Steve is not in charge nonono
Judy is.........:ThumbsUp

Is there an actual crappie fun fishing tournament on Saturday or Sunday? Is there a menu of suggested items to bring for the potluck, or gatherings?
Yaaayyyy Jeri's first post!!! :cheers2 Welcome :highfiveQuote:

As far as food, we generally just bring something easy for our Friday night liars club get together.....I am bringing some of that smoked King Mackeral fish I caught in Florida made into fish dip with crackers. Years past I've brought venison or goose sausage sliced with crackers. Whatever you bring is fine.
As far as crappie catching tips and tricks, I'll be listening in too. I never caught a crappie until joining this group and I'm still learning!
Glad you are going to make it
Man, with all the newbies we're going to wear poor Wilber out. Welcome Jeri. I'm sure you'll have a blast.
Aaron, Waffle Farms said they put you "just a stones throw" from us. The way you throw like a girl I guess you're ON our site. I told them to make sure you were down wind. On the serious side, are you bringing a fryer for the fries? If not, I have one I can bring, just need a tank for it. Let me know
First order of business, WELCOME Jeri.....:welcome
Second, I have no tips for Crappie, I'm Polish, and really don't know what the heck I'm doing.... So do not watch me fish, or imitate my methods......
Third, SpartanNation, can can not catch, but he is great at retrieving. He is like a lovable although more hairy version of a Golden Lab. If you by chance toss your keys into the lake, he will go get them. Just tap him on the forehead, and give him a treat.:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
Jerry,
I have a tank, you think a 20# be enough for the weekend, or should I fill up the Hog Roaster 80#?
Planning on bringing the Fryer, the oil, the Fry Cutter, the Potato's, and seasonings.

May I suggest rubber boots? The BS tends to get a little thick to wade through with normal shoes.
You will know Aaron the minute you see him. He is a slightly more robust version of the leprechaun trying to steal the lucky charms. The difference being that he is usually slathered in some sort of sun deterant and speaks in Polish tounges. He has been known to "air mail" an errant toss or two so don't ask him to "pass" you anything!
Jerry "might" have some sort of baseball catcher's equipment on as I am told he has the hands of a quadriplegic monkey.
I on the other hand have been known to give the shirt off my back (litterally) which isn't a sight to behold as I appear to have a fur tanktop on. I have also won the "son of the year award" from a friend of mines mom! It appears she liked me more.
On a serious note, you will not find a better group of people than the crappie dot com community. As you can see, many people meet for the first time and quickly become friends. We all get along at events and as friends outside of events because we are all like minded individuals. We all share a common bond. We would all give the shirts off our back, lend a hand to anyone that needs it, offer information, tips, tricks, and places to go. As I said, we get along because we are all like minded. I don't often converse with many people. Never really felt the need to be around people (for the most part) but... the majority of the friends I have and the phone numbers in my phone are members from Crappie dot com. That should tell you something!
Although I am not hosting this event, I can tell you what to expect. Friday evening is a chance to get together, catch up with old friends and make aquantances with new ones. It usually takes place around a common campfire and includes some snacks and maybe and adult beverage or two. Our events are always family friendly but we tend to draw the most children in the summer events. Feel free to bring your favorite cheese and crackers, sausage, dips, or other snake type foods. Don't forget your lawn chairs. Usually, the following days events will be passed by the camp host.
These friendly events are a ton of fun. Sometimes, when there isn't an agenda, it is fun to throw 5 bucks in the pot and see who comes out on top. Although it is centered around crappie, these lakes hold a ton of other fish. We have done odd species in the past. Don't worry if you have not been to the lake. Many members that arrive early will often share their success stories. Or, tell you where not to go as a result of their lack of success.
Saturday is usually the event and from everything I am seeing regarding the weather, it could shape up to be a hot one! The fishing starts in the morning and concludes early afternoon.
A time will be set for the pot luck. Normally, in the summer event, people usually sign up to bring certain things. In the fall events, there usually isn't as many people. I suggest that everyone bring their own table settings (IE plates, silverware, napkins, and drinks). This way, not one person will be assigned to have to bring these items. In the future, our general fund allows for the purchase of these items as we have created a fund that should be self sustaining moving forward.
As for a dish to pass. It is just like any other pot luck. I remember seeing that Tim posted something in regards to a seafood type theme but I could be mistaken. Your favorite recipe for dish to pass events are always recommended. I've gotten some of my favorite recipes from events like these. Judy's taco salad, Carol's oriental salad, Michigan Man's caviar just to name a few. The old stand by of potatoe salad, meatballs, spaghetti salad, and so on.
Someone should remember ketchup (for the fries) and hot sauce (because it is good on everything). And, if you really want the best fish dip and snack dip, look no further than Sandy's award winning (it isn't but it should be) koop's mustard dip!!! Wanda's beans are pretty darn good too. And Gary and Tonda's goose jerkey. And anything that comes out of Tim and Dar's crock pot... As I said, so many favorites! You should NOT be hungry.
One last thing.... WHO is bringing the fish?
Have a good time !!!!!!!!!!!:cheers2
Thanks wichlundrh, for the great info,we will do our best to host although you and Yankee doodle make it look easy. We will discuss the tournament on Friday but with a small group maybe just have some sort of gift cards or cash for prizes. I will have some fish not a lot though.
Aaron, 20 lbs is plenty. I'll bring a fryer for the fish and another 20 lb tank. Like I said in an earlier post, I will also bring everything needed to cook and serve the fish.
Who is bringing firewood?
I think we are going down early Thursday and if our site isn't open will put the boat in and fish till it is.
Don't forget the hot dog sticks, hot dogs and buns.
I have a couple packages of bluegill in the freezer I am bringing......sorry it's been a slow year for me to get out fishing :mad:
I am also bringing some wood scraps from a garage I am building, 2x4, 2x6 etc......no hardwood, I cant get out to the woods until my soybeans are harvested.
Did ya'll know there are NO firepits on the camprounds? Gingerbeard informed me of that a couple days ago.....apparently he is going to try to purchase a fire ring just for this event! :HandsClapping
Judy informed me she will be making sloppy joes and brownies for the potluck.
Rich, she also says, she'll owe you for the taco salad another time.
Fire Ring is taken care of..........
I loaded some wood as well.
It's all loaded in THIS somewhere......Attachment 275006

36 inch Camp Fire Ring.
So Steve your scraps should fit.
I have firewood. I'll put in as much as I can after everything is loaded.
Aaron, you Polish American (politically correct ), fall gathering doesn't mean ALL fall, you can take most of that out of your truck, we're just there for the weekend.:Rofl
Most of the stuff is stuff I don't usually pack.
Fire Ring
Deep Fryer
Oil
Propane
You take all that out, and I have plenty of room..... lol

Tent, Canopy, Camping Tote, Portable Grill, & Water.
Oh yeah, the boat too.....

My truck will be just as full as yours. My thoughts on it, if you have room, put it in. I would hate to forget something.
I'm not bringing fish but hope to catch enough to cook fresh. Usually when I get together with Jeff, we manage to catch something to clean. Last week we went to the river salmon fishing and I ended up with catfish and bluegill.
See Aaron.....he CAN catch!!!!!Quote:

But he still can't catch something thrown to him while he is standing on a dock.

I still remember my wise words before you two kids decided to play the game of catch......they went something like this "Aaron if I was you I wouldn't throw those keys.....Quote:

Thanks Steve! I'm really looking forward to this get together. I've gotta find some good stuff to bring for the Liars Club and the pot luck. Attachment 275124 I'm bringing my crappie/bass boat too! :)
Hope we get into some crappie. I'm excited!
Thanks OneidaEagle, All you fishermen are liars! I bet you can catch the crap out of those crappies! Lol. My golden retriever LuLu would love SpartaNation. Please let me know if you'd like me to bring anything to the get together.
