Fish and eat results.

I want to thank all that came and lent a hand to make this gathering such a success. I think we had close to 20 folks join us and we sure did a job of putting away the crappie and fixins. The fish were a little slow but most every one caught some good fish or at least a few. I was trying to make the rounds and visit with everyone and point those that were new to the area in the right directions. Some I pointed right and some I pointed wrong but everybody had a good time. If I failed to see you off or didnt visit with youI am sorry. I was just busy with the cooking, condo sinking, marking brush for folks. I cant wait to do it again in May.

Now the pics.

More pics of some of the kids. Some were young kids some were old kids.

Some of the big stringers and fish of the day.

Looks like a good turn out! Nice lookin' fish!:)

Gooch -Thanks for the post and update. I had such a good time yesterday, I'll be back there this morning. That big female got me excited so I am heading back to the brush this morning!

Guess what Gooch? I still ain't getting no minnows!:D :D

Looks like everyone had a good time, and those are some nice fish too.

Looks like ya'll had a blast. Nice fish also. Beats what I did yesterday, spent the day organizing junk for an estate sale. I would like to try an make it to a Crappie gathering soon.

Glad yall had a good turn out, looks like everyone was having some fun, especially them young'ens

gooch looks like you had a lot of fun and thats what I think this site promotes. Good fellowship and the sharing of our fishing knowledge to help others enjoy it. great pictures also

Gooch, I can't thank you enough for the great time. The food was wonderful, even the hush puppies. I fished with Jack and he and I being the olldest kids had a blast. Jack said he caught the biggest crappie he ever caught. I measured it before I cleaned it and it was 13 inches. My big one was 14 inches and also the biggest crappie I ever caught. Thanks for pointing us to the dock fishing. I got back to the mountains about 0100 but could not fall asleep until about 0200, I was still going 55 mph and could feel the rocking of the boat. Jack, if you read this, pm me your address and I'll send you a print of the picture of you and your big fish or if you prefer, I can email it. Thanks again guys and ya'll have a great day.

My nephew and I had a wonderful time. I wish we could have stayed longer, but he couldn't take the cold and the guy I had with me was getting a little grouchy. I know someone not being asked to go back. Unfortunatley, some people worry only about how many fish are caught and not the liesure time gained by just being out there. If we wanted to work, we would stay at home. Don't mean to preach to the choir.

I did have a great time and can't wait til the next get together


Jacob

wow. once again i am wishing i would have been able to attend. thanks for all the pics and posts gooch! MM

Jake your welcome anytime as long as you bring the kid. I got a kick out of hearing he, and the old kids catching those crappie under the boat dock. Sounded like the recess at an elementry school down there.

Darryl Morris mentioned hosting one of these fish and feeds on Hammilton this summer. Hopefuly being a little closer to home you will be able to stay all day or night with us.

I hate it that I didn't get to meet y'all. I had to bolt fairly early without even wettin' a hook. At least Gooch took me out on the water for a few minutes.

It's tough having a fair-weather fisherman in the boat with you on a slow day. Just have to make the best of it. Anyways, I hope to meet up with you at the next get-together.

Ceb you missed the fun at 10:30 at night gooch found the part that he bought from the guy here in OKLA and I showed him the it was the right one and now hes back in bussiness the tilt and trim worked great. we did miss having the master out on the water with us mabey we could have caught some thing besides all them stripers we were catching. I think they had the crappie run up under the docks for cover. Glad that flyflinger and Jack found the fish. they had a smile a mile wide.

That right there is what it is ALL about!

Really great looking pics. Wish I could have been there with ya'll. Sometime we'll have to have one here on Hamilton. The condo/resort where I live has a pavilion and a boat ramp and well just take this place over for a day. I bet the ole POA president will like that, LOL, LOL, LOL. Heck, all the more reason to do it.

You should have seen that little boy. Jack and I were fishing about 15 feet apart, and the kid drops in between us and pulls one out. What a blast. He was ten feet tall and me an Jack were laughing our butts off. I think he caught about 4 that way and was he a happy camper. I really want to go back there sometime. Good food, good folks and good fish'n even if I didn't get home till 0100. It was worth every mile.
