Hey ya'll. I feel that the next Blackshear slabfest will be even better than the first. I was wondering if ya'll would like to get that family shelter thats by the Park office? I know it cost $200 per night but I feel that $10 per person, that is if we have 20 people, isn't that much. What I plan on doing is seeing what the majority wants to do and if they agree I will go ahead and reserve it. GOD bless the Georgia Crappie.com family.
When is the next slabfest?
Deputy dog.5/19.07 ps,good to see ya on the hill the other day..
umm.can you catch a crappie trolling that late in the year?
my wife will be working that weakend . she will be off the 12 th and the 26 th
I will be at my first Slabfest if it is the 12th or 19th. I would be happy to donate for the shelter. Hoping I can hook up with someone to fish with as I have a pontoon boat on Allatoona and no trailer.
I'll be there and I'll bring reelcrappie.
19th sounds good, gonna be A LOT warmer than WP! I'll have my youngest son with me at this one. See if we can't give Score300 and son a run for the money!
As soon as the date is firm I'll make reservations. This weekend wouldn"t be too soon for me.
If it is on the 19th I think i'll be able to get to my first slabfeast.:) I have go work the 20th & 21st but I'll be free the 20th.
If no one has reserved yet can we do it the 12th... I posted the 19th last month but blackshear needs to have Papasage AND WIFE at it since they are the best host anygroup could ask for... We have to decide by Monday night and not change it. To get off work she would have to work like 15 days straight and put up with us...
Why bring him??? He can't catch a cold in January...lolQuote:

this is a democracy you know... I just get the heat if it goes wrong...lol
Hey Smitty, quit taking things soo personal. You can never make EVERYONE happy, you just do what you can.Quote:

Hey ya'll I am now campaigning for the 12th for the Blackshear slabfest. Smitty needs to know Monday night what ya'll think. Like he says this is a democracy and whatever the majority goes for thats the way it will be and if it doesn't go your way then just lick your wounds and come on with the crowd.
MOTHERS DAY is the 13th so it can't be that weekend...mama's ain't gonna let us all go so we better figure this out soon
The fifth is four weekends away, wonder if thats too soon to get the planning done? We probably should look at site availabilty too. The 26th is seven weeks away, I don't think I could stand to wait that long. However, what ever you all decide on I'll be there.
reelcrappie the 5th th is a day she works . it will be the 12th or 26th for us to make one in may . 12this mothers day . that is fine with my wife but for some it may not . 26th is memorial day weakin :eek: . any reservations can be change if don 3 dayes befor the day of reservation .no refund but can be mooved to another avaible day .that is at the campground . don`t know about the INN or cbins . that is handled by a private groupe.
We are definately in a quagmire here. The 12th is Mother,s Day weekend and the 26th is memorial day weekend. I definately don't want it on the 26th because of the crowd of people and those darn jet ski's. Looks like to me that it would have to be the 12th. I think that all of us could be home with momma on Sunday.
12th is fine by me. I can get home to see her Sunday. I'll just leave Saturday night. I'm a mama's boy.. Can ya tell?
Only 11 premium sites for the 12th left.. I'll get a standard 40 of those left.
bet one of you will let me park my boat like last time.
so the 12th going once...................

I was thinking about it being mothers day.... I remember when I was about 10 or younger. My dad took mom and I fishing on Lake Oliver in Columbus, Ga before daylight. We put out the lights and a fog came in on us so we started back in. We got lost. We could see nothing. First thing to come into view was the danger bouys at the dam. My mom was screaming.. My dad got scared too and the boat stalled and wouldn't crank.. We didn't have an anchor so my dad, and he will not admit this today, tied the boat paddle to a rope and threw it out to stop us.. Wood floats...lmao....now that was funny! I don't remember how we got in but I remember that wooden anchor...lol
We were always around the river on Mothers Day..
smitty just bring her with you :D . you can run to town and git her roses . or ragfly can bring them to you .
I called and invited her earlier.;) She might come down Saturday to watch the weigh in and eat with us.Quote:

I wish I could have had crappie.com 15 years ago when I had young children.
Can you imagine what great crappie fishermen Dawson and Jonathan will be after growing up fishing with shine, score and the knowledge gained from crappie.com and it's members. I'm trying to get my son to get off work to fish this one with me. I hope he can... Joshua if you read this at school or work... I'm leaving Weds(9th) or thurs.(10th)morning and coming home Saturday night after the fry. Talk to the camovision guys and get off....purty please...:)
Smitty, I was going to PM you with this note but I feel that everyone out there should read what I am fixin to type.
Hello Crappie.com family. Last December I was kind of in a deep depression because of me not physically able to work any longer because of a back problem. One night in December I was just surfing the net looking for something about crappie fishing and I came upon Crappie.com. I like it so much I went ahead and joined right away.
Usually when you here about someone surfing the net you think of all the bad things out there like porno and the such. I was really impressed because Crappie.com is really a clean family fishing site. I have really gotten involved in this and look to staying with ya'll. I have met several new friends. One of those special friends that I have met is Mr. Robert Smith commonly known as "Falcon Smitty". It seems like to me that he is always working really hard to make sure that everyone is having a great time with Crappie.com.
Smitty, you and Crappie.com has helped me come out of my depression and see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. You inspire me to helkp others and I love that. I know that there are others that have helped you to make Crappie.com what it is today like Papa Sage and Birddog, but I just wanted to let you know what you mean to me and the rest of the Crappie.com family. Hey Smitty, if you ever get down you let me know and I will do everything in my power to get you back up. Just remember that I am always there for you. May GOD bestow his rich blessings upon you and your family.
12th good with me. I will most likely come up early Saturday rather than camp. Workload is kinda heavy right now. We will see how it goes.
Ragfly I agree. Smitty does try to make everyone enjoy these Slabfests and does a great job of it. Thanks Smitty.
The folks here on the Georgia Crappie.com are some of the best there are. Thanks to everyone for making this the best site around and enjoyable for everyone. Just look at the new members we have had join us in the last few months.
They don't get no better than Smitty. Man loves crappy fishing and he is good at it too. Proud to call him a friend.
bring momma to the slabfest
OK guys that's enough of this but Thank you all for your kind words.
Everyone makes these things work. All of you are great guys that have attended slabfest. I thank you all for coming. I also hope you will continue to bring your families. Wives I hope you will approve of our events. I want you all to feel welcome and comfortable about your children being there. I hope these events grow but stay just as they are now. I have recieved emails and PMs from possible sponsers. I told em next year starting with Talquin we will let some of them set up at Slabfest. That scares me kinda because I do not want us to become commercialized. The reason we need them is for the kids part of slabfest and we all like free stuff...right! I just want us to be in control so it doesn't become like CUSA, CAST or crappiemasters. They are great but are ran by and for companies to sell to a captive audience. I enjoy fishing those tourneys too but the fellowship and spreading of knowledge about crappie fishing is SLABFEST. We don't push religion but I hope that God feels welcome at slabfest.
so is it may 12 now for sure? if so might wanna put up a big thread and announce it
