Fishin.com get-together???

[dc chopper]

Now that Elnuts has finished flirting with nurses and swearing off hospital food for a few years, is there any plans for a summer get together? Gas is cheap again and I think most of you would enjoy a Saturday of fishing, drinking pop and telling lies. I think Jim planned the past ones but I'm not sure and to be honest, I don't know where he stands with the board anymore. If he isn't on here anymore, Someone that knows most of the folks on here and is a pretty good organizer should think about it( a moderator or senior member), I would help as much as possible, even do the grilling while everyone else fishes!! I THINK I could get some or most of the meat ( Hamburgers and Dogs?) donated . This would be a hoot. Anyone have any thoughts?

this comes up every year and never happens...the next thing is someone will make a poll wanting to know what lake everyone wants to fish

I have a big pull behind cooker and cook pull-pork bbq on the side for an additional hobby,would like to put faces with some of these names.We will have to keep it small because my smoker will only hold about 400 lbs at one time.Also if it was at waters edge somebody would have to have a empty back seat because I can't find a trolling motor that will pull the grill!!!!!!

Yeah - this comes up all the time and at the last minute everyone backs out and 3 people show up and have a lot of food on their hands.

I agree with those statements but most of the guys drive a few hrs to fish anyway so why not on something like this? It's impossible to accommodate everyone on times and lakes. 400lbs of meat in 1 cooker, what you got a kitchen on that trailer?? Just a thought, maybe something can come of it in the future.

OK, so we need to look in the crystal ball and find a nasty dreary day that no-one wants to fish and hold it indoors, far from water.
Sounds like a great idea, hope it comes together. Have it somewhere where the kids or grandkids can be involved, showed off, bragged about etc.. Everybody loves doing that.
Seriously, hope it works out.

I would come if the date don't fall on a tournament.I started a tread in the tournament list and still like too do that and if dinner is waiting at the ramp thats a plus.Want too keep the buyin low so the kids could fish too.I have a back seat open too inless i rent an old lady.(lol)

First of all I never quit flirting with the nurses (just don't tell Mrs. Elnutsmalljaws) but I have given up the hospital food forever (or at least until next time, which ever comes first).

Get together thoughts:

Assign a "Master of Ceremonies", have them collect $20 per person that plans on attending in advance to cover food and door prizes. The more food we get donated the more of the money goes to the door prizes. Keep the food simple to burgers, dogs, chips, cole slaw, drinks, paper plates, plastic wear, cookies as to let the "Chefs" participate in the tourney if they want. Have a tourney from safe light to 4pm, then have the weigh in and give out door prizes while the "chefs" do their thing, then eat and be merry. Tourney entry fee $25 per boat, payback $25 for 3rd, $50 for 2nd, and the rest for 1st (plus bragging rights until the next get together). Get a list of those interested and decide on the lake after we see where most of the people interested in attending live. For example if the majority live around Ky and Barkley then maybe that is the place, or if the majority live in Lexington or surrounding then maybe Cedar or Herrington is the place, south then that brings into play Green or Cumberland, Louisville then maybe Barren River.

I suggest April 4th as the date with money due into the "Master" by March 21. Late entries after march 21 pay an extra $5 just because money that will go into the Food/Door Prize pool. We try and get people to donate items both food and other stuff to help out. I have a pretty good relationship with one particular fella that owns a lure company that I know I can get to help out with some donations plus let me buy a bunch of stuff at cost. If DC Chopper can get some meat donated and I know a fella that has a buddy that works for Frito Lay and maybe we can get some discounts or free stuff from them as well. I will even get with some of the guides that I know and maybe get a dicounted guide trip donated or free trip donated by somebody if possible.

My 1/4 cents worth so lets go:

April 4th, who wants to do it on this day and if so where are you located at.

I am in with my buddy Cliff (he don't know it yet) but even if he can't then I will find somebody to fish with. I live in Central Ky but will travel wherever.

Whos next.............

These are all suggestions but if we are going to do this then we need to get it started and make some final decision on price, door prizes and such pretty quick.
