I got a fishing rod for a prize for big fish. But I don't have any fillets. Need to catch'em to have'em, and I haven't been doing real good numbers at all lately. doh

Extra-effort always results in extra-enjoyment for EVERYBODY!!:highfive Realistically, only one - three events(Crappiefests) per season!:cheers2

I think we have our fish filets covered. Speck detector has come through with 25 fish ( 50 filets ) of crappie. He has made the donation even thou he will not be able to attend the slab fest. That plus the flounder filets that Taterlicious is bringing should cover our needs.
Sounds good

Some people have been asking for the recipe for the CHEESY GRITS that Speckanator's wife (Susan) has been providing for the slabfests. They were in such GREAT demand at the Crescent Lake Slabfest, that there weren't any scrapings in the pan when seconds were in order. Here is the recipe that she provided to me last year.
1 1/2 cups quick grits (quick not instant)
1 lb Velveeta cheese (block)
6 cups water
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 sticks butter
2 tsp Lowry's seasoning salt
1/8 tsp tabasco
1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce
3 eggs beaten
Bring the water and salt to a boil add grits and cook as directed on the box add cut up cheese and remaining ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased 13x9 pan.
BAKE 1 HOUR @ 350
ENJOY
Thanks MICAH...hopefully the attendees will be Rewarded!:highfive

Need to watch the winds. If the lake is too bad, there is always the river to fish.
The party is in the large pavilion under cover. So that is on train or shine.
See you at the slab fest
I hope y'all have a great get together. I wish I could make it down there. I'll just have to live vicariously through all the post fest pictures. God bless y'all.

Remember .... Safety First. We don't want anything to happen to anyone. If the lake is too. bad, then there is the river. If the river is too bad, then there is just the party. The goal is the meet and greet. To have a good time with our friends and to make new ones. The party is on rain or shine. We are under cover.Quote:
