Late April is good. I've seen the spawn in march n May. Be some still on it in late April. Barnett's just kicking in good.
That works too.Quote:

See how it pans out. If no one wants to do a camp, some of us ought to alteast go fishing together.
I've been so dang busy the last couple years that I haven't had much free time to fish.
Great

You know I'm out there when I get a chance to on Saturday's. I had a really good time last year going a couple of afternoons a week when time changed...it was awesome not having to deal with all the Saturday boat traffic. Pretty soon those afternoon trips will be my only chance to fish with my 5 year old boy starting baseball and such as that.Quote:

Someone who has done one should compile a list (steps) to put one on . I would be willing to help but have never cooked for that many . Would it not make more sense to have a team(that stayed together each spring) rather than one guy ? kind of like the c.c fishing . After establishing a team it would become a lot easier . I know KNIGHT SHADOW for example would be way more than I at his dutch oven cooking but I would be able to learn from him . To many times the folks that get involved are not appreciated . I will donate a 100.00 gift card to bass pro to whom ever takes on this endeavor. A donation bucket can be passed at the meal(the other 4 team members can split the donations ) and I bet we can cover the cost . I am willing to try any ways . We all want slab to donate t-shirts, Bait shops to give good minnow counts, Those who give /donate door prizes out of their pockets, then why do we have a problem adding ten dollars to the cost of that week ? Surely it is worth that to see old friends and share a little time together . I have and still do enjoy the site ,fishing some with those I met because of the site, And having an inside scoop on whats happening where . All that being said the absence of at least once a year gathering surely takes away from the enjoyment . It should be an honor to serve rather than a chore.
Great idea coach. Don Don and I did camps 4 years in a row. Then “G” took over heading them up for several years. I know Rees, Canebreaker and Armyman also took charge on some of them. I can tell you it’s a lot of work for one or two people. A team would make it easier for everyone. I have made many lifelong friends at these camps. I hope they keep going

By the way, I will be happy to help again as long as it’s a weekend I can make it. I’ll even volunteer DonDon

The crankfest that Rees holds is once per year and i forget now he has done thi s 3 or maybe 4 years....anyway i went to all of them. It is a good camp everybody more or less on their own fishing and eating for the week or how ever long they stay.....one organized meal for the whole group and its aways good. During the other days folks in small groups have get to gethers and meals at the campground and cabins. Good times and good fellowship......John already has the date set for this yeat. Thanks John for doing this.
So you will Chair ? :ThumbsUp

Roger that . John took the bull by the horns and made it work . As I remember there were those who were not on board but John said up front he was organizing a cranking gathering . all were welcome but was not subject to approval from any . My interest is to continue what you, speck, sat doc , army man , John and others have done .Quote:
