Fish and Eat Details

I talked to Danno today and here's what we came up with for the fish and eat. We will start the cookin and BS at straight up noon at Gold Creek Landing. We will try and eat by 1:00 then head back on the water. Again were asking for 15.00 for boaters and 10.00 for non boaters and this will cover your food, parking, launch and minners.

I would like for those of you deffinately comming or those that are probible to respond to this thread or PM me so Danno can have some idea of how much food to buy. I also want to make sure we have enough room for all the non boaters.

Again folks CEB and I are just way to busy to plan, organize and shop for a gathering so this is all I can think of that will allow us to get togehter with little effort and expense. I really hope any of you without boats or those looking for ideas for rigging a boat to come. I'm sure there will be room for non boaters and plenty of ideas for those looking to improve on there rigs.

Looking forward to the 23rd

Well, like the big dummy that I am, a swapped my weekend oncall for someone who needed to be bailed out. I thought, "I don't have anything for the week of the 23rd, so I'll just swap with them :eek: Did I mention I am a big dummy?

Now the good part. I took someone's oncall this weekend, so I am free again for next weekend!!! Party on Wayne! I am there as long as family is healthy! I'll bring my towboat as well just in case Grubby brings the short boat. :D

I'm planning on being there. I'll have one in the boat with me. I don't mean to sound dumb, but will that be $15 or $25.

Gooch
Considering the way you look, I think this idea is very clever. U DA MAN!!!!

My wife wants me to put on a fish fry for her family in April. I asked her if she knew it would mean I will have to make a couple of trips. She said I could go any time I want to. And, there was a witness. :p Look out crappies and red ears. I am ready to tear some butts up.

I will be there probably alone the 23rd. I have room for one or two in my boat.

hey longarm that will be $10 for your buddy,$15 for the boat and operater, we gaurantee you'll all get full and each have your 2-3 dz minners.also as Gooch asked if anyone can post that they will be there for sure it will be helpful on purchasing burgers and polish sausage,hot dogs,chips etc. I will have some drinks on hand.but if your picky bring your own.(BYOB) now that good spread of food will be also laid out at dark also for anyone who would like to eat later,or have room in the gut.i plan to have plenty of eats regardless of response but if you can let us know it will be appreciated.thank you!dano

I will be there with my bro-in-law and father-in-law.

I will be there. Just me, I will need a seat in a boat and any other advise that I can get.

What time is everybody showing up?

Thanks bobber. But i don't think I 'm going to get to be there that weekend. You guys have fun and mabey I 'll make it to the next one.

Grubby, I can't believe that you're gonna finally have to pass on a trip to AR. I guess I'll have to fill the short boat title for this get-together...but then again, I bet you will change your mind next week...;)

Ok, I know it really helps to have a good count before the gathering. I also know there are certain things that come up at the last minute to keep a few from coming. If your name should/shouldn't be on the list, please respond. So, here's the list of of folks so far...

Folks that are for sure gonna be there:
LRJOE
dixrp
Gooch
Bobberwatcher
Dr Pepper
longarm

Folks that replied to the previous thread that may have a more definitive answer now:
JRB
Stumpjumper (Jerry)
flyflinger
Heavy Chevy

I will probably be there sometime that day, just not sure how long I will be able to stay. May not have time to fish, but I figure that somebody will need to babysit Goocher for at least a couple hours...:D

Count me in, I'd rather be a non-boater, but if needed, I can pull my boat down. Just let me know. Are you guys going to fish in the moring before the feed? If so, what time are you getting on the water. I have to leave 2 hours early to make it on time. So if you are on the water at 0700, I have to leave by 0500. I got cabin feaver bad and need a crappie fix. Tight lines.

I'm not going to be able to make it, having company from out of state that weekend. Hope y'all have a good time and take some pics and post them here. Maybe the next one.

Boy This Sounds Like Fun Wish I Could Be There But Being In Fla. With My Wife Will Be Fun Also

I will have a x-tra spot in my boat
DP

Count me in as a definite. Wouldn't miss it for the world...

Forecast looks great.........Mostly sunny high of 51.

everything looks great and ready!!

Hey Guys: The weather report up here sucks. I don't know if I will be able to get out by Saturday. It depends on how much ice we get and if it is going to snow on Saturday night. Keeping my fingers crossed. I'll post again as the weekend gets closer. Come on SPRING!

Partly Cloudy
High
53°F

Precip
10%

Wind: NE 6 mph
Max. Humidity: 67%
UV Index: 5 Moderate


Sunrise: 6:47 AM CT
Avg. High: 58°F
Record High: 80°F (1982)

So what time is everyone planning on getting there to fish Saturday morning?

I will be there before the sun comes up.

I am going to be there, needing a seat in a boat. What time do you all suggest I show up. Do not want to be there 2 hours before everyone else or two behind.

Sure am glad your comming to the gathering.

I would be there at 11:00 as we will start cooking then and plan to eat about noon. After noon we will go back out and fish. I know some are comming early and leaving after lunch. Some are comming just before lunch and fishing the afternoon so the best thing to do is just show up for the food and hop in a boat for the PM. I'm not 100% sure how many will be in my crew but if theres room your sure welcome to join me.

See you Saturday.

As of this morning, the weather report is ok for Saturday. If the roads will blow dry over the day and night today, I should have no problem getting to Conway. The new roads will help too. Traveled that way last week taking my grandaughter to Childrens. They have widened 65 along the Buffalo and straightened it out a lot and widened the lanes. Not a bad ride now. Of course, the other road was fun in a little car, but in a truck not so good. See ya'll tomorrow. Tight lines.

i will be open at 5AM,be up at 4:15 drinking coffee,looking forward to seeing you fellers in the morning.

Ceb and Gooch,

It will be me and my bro-in-law. My father in law is not coming. I am down to 2 from 3.

Can we clarify what time the cooking and eating will start? First post of the thread says cooking at 12, eat at 1 and of course this one says 11 & 12?

Don't want to miss the food! :D

appreciate the update LRJoe1,see you tomorrow morning,got plenty of fresh minnows for you guys!gooch will have to clarify what time 12 or 1pm i've got everything ready for whatever time

I am going to buy ALL the rosies. It will give me an advantage. : > )

Dano...you better squirrel me away some of those rosies that catch the big ones...Don't be givin' mine to LRJOE...;)

See everyone in the morning. Y'all have a safe trip to the lake.

I should be there around 10:30-11:00. If there aren't any rosies left when I get there, i'll break out my drill and a REALLY BIG BIT, then I will trade some boat patches for rosies :)

dont worry be happy!!got plenty of roseys and all others

I'll be heading that way in about an hour. Several of you I know, others I don't. I will be in a black expedition pulling a camo war eagle. See you guys in a couple hours.

It was sure great to see you all yesterday. Sorry I was to sick to fish (sounds like a punch line for a joke). I got back home about 1500 and spent the rest of the day in bed. Not much improvement this morning. Can't sleep, head hurts, eyes hurt even my hair (what there is) hurts. I'll be glad to kiss this one goodbye. Just a little aside for anyone who gets this crud, when its over throw away your tooth brush or boil it, or you might give it back to yourself. Hope we have another fish n eat next month. Let me know. tight lines

Glad you made it home ok. I know you must have been bad to have come so far just to turn back and go home. Going to get the ball rolling right now for next month. Give us you thoughts and ideas as we move forward with these.

Thanks again for the condo. Hope you catch a slab off it next month and win big fish pot.

Dale, are you going to use this thread or start a new one for March fish n eat? Gotta get the boat ready to pull. Since I plan to pull it to Florida in a couple of months I think I'll change out the wheel bearings instead of just repacking. Sarasota is a long pull (1200 miles one way), but the salt water fishing is worth it. I grew up in that area and know just about every weed line and current break from Tampa to Port Charlotte. Love that inland water fishing.
