I'm not fishing today . Will be there for the fish fry and gathering.
Wind is starting to pick up pretty good. We’re not fishing either just running the river.
Where are the pics ?
Here's a few I took.....
Apologies to SpeckledSlab and those guys sitting down there in the north east corner ...
Apparently when I took these pics all you guys weren't sitting down there yet or i would've
got some pics of ya'll etc, etc, etc ........
Special Tx's to Slab for the cap = My buddy Bob and I were just coming into the basin there to
pull the boat out and a gust of wind grabbed Bob's cap and with that crappie pin on it, it went
straight to the bottom = couldn't get turned around fast enough to get it etc, etc, etc ......
Yeah ! ! ! ! ! And where was the C.C cake ???????? Gonna have to penalize that gal ! ! ! ! !
Great pictures Danny. It was a fun time. The rain held off and the wind stayed at bay for the most part for the gathering and food. I heard that it was a little rough out on the lake.

Looks like a great time...WTG
Great time & fellowship, Big thanks Slim Jim for hosting & putting the event together, Slab for prizes & calendars, and all who helped along the way, I think all the boxes got checked:HandsClapping....Big crowd as well, would have to say over 30 folks attended...As for the fishing, I think only 5 of us braved the conditions 3 on the lake & 2 more in the river, the rest of you didn't miss much, took a sunrise semi-calm pic at day break & a winds-of-change pic at around 9:45 that made the ride in quite dicey...as always, look forward to the next one!!
WOW. !!! That lake sure was dancing today. Thanks for the before and after picture. And for all your help to make this a great event .Quote:

Great pics to all who took them. Me, I went brain dead and forgot to take the first one. I counted 31 folks that attended, a good turnout for the conditions. My hats off to those that braved the conditions, my flat bottom boat would not have had a good time. Looking forward to the next one, and seeing everyone again. Extra good to see Chuker and Danny, y’all need to get out more. Til next time........
I knew u would like it bill bob

Thanks SlimJim for initiating our Florida C.com 2020 seasonal kickoff event. Great to see past, present(new) and future members enjoying the contributed efforts/consumables/prizes. Even though Mom Nature proved to be THE FACTOR in the challenger participant numbers, the Lake itself yielded the tallies recorded. Looking ahead to the season and C.com events that will come.:cheers2

Now that looks like a great time!
Glad you all had a big time.

Thanks to all who participated in the Slabfest good time with good friends. Look forward to when we can do it again.
I neglected to specify and recognize our first time sponsor for this event, Bitters Bait and Tackle from Longwood. A 15 minute ride from the park where we held the event on hwy 17-92 just north of 434. Kevin, known to us as Deepfry, saw to it that we had some very good prizes to be given away. Two nice rods and reels, a box of hand tied jigs that anyone would be proud to have, and a gift certificate for 5 dozen minnows. That’s plenty even for a hack like me. Kevin works religiously every Saturday so he wasn’t able to attend, but he was missed. I can only hope he might attend one in the days to come. Ya done good Mister, Thank You so much.
I want to give a big thank you to up2specks (Doug ) and Speck Detector ( Jef ) for providing the fish frying stations, the fish and doing all the fish frying. Thanks to Slab (Ed ) for the prizes. Thanks to Bitter's Bait & Tackle for their contributions for the door prizes. And to everyone that brought all the good food !!
Fishing was rough! Not many made it out, but some nice size did make it to the scale:
First place went to Larry : 1.71 pounds
Second place went to Speck Detector : 1.64 pounds
Third place went to Pontoon Pappy : 1.01 pounds
and again, I want to thank everyone for making this such a fun day
Until next time, tight lines and full nets
Jim
Looks like everyone had a great time, that’s all that counts [emoji106]

And a good time was had by all. Thanks so much “Slim Jim” for all your effort to put on a terrific slabfest. Special Thanks!! to the fry masters Jeff and Doug.

Good times
Besides what I've already stated earlier, as the scale used was my former work tool, the certified weights were...1 lb 7.4 ozs, 1 lb 6.4 ozs, and 1 lb .01 ozs. AND more significantly, the Larry, Jeff, Pontoon Pappy name assignments need alignment = Larry, Jeff(who also weighed a 1 lb 6.2 oz. twin), and Pontoon Pappy's granddaughter Sydney!! Yes, with a Y as in "Grandad Y didn't you give me my prize even though I couldn't stay to eat?!"[emoji3064][emoji1] This correction(alignment) was offered with no disrespect whatsoever, Jim, great event!
