Thread: SLABFEST Oct. 3, 2009 Lake Monroe

The new location is fine with me and I'll get word to pontoon pappy as well. Looking forward to losing again to up2speks. Flycaster, my number is 321-277-9236, and I will be glad to bring anything we might be short on. Just let me know. Also, the Ace Hardware on SR 46 just west of the interstate has minnows and they open at 7am and Gander Mountain at Lake Mary Blvd. has bait and they open at 6am.

Went this morning and reserved Cabana #3 - same one we had last year. Asked the park official to double check electric outlet - water spigot is nearby - figure we need about 150 feet of hose. No glass bottles.
Remember - the area around the launch and in the river by the bridge and east toward the lake is a manatee protected area- idle speed only and the water police do patrol the area.

I'll bring another gallon of oil; fish batter; salt & pepper; potato salad; and a couple cans of beans.

Saturday = 60% chance of rain.

The gauntlet is thrown, The challenge IS ON.:D:D:D

I know my place.... and it's 2nd behind up2specks! Just for information I'll be bringing some folks totaling 3 boats and six people including me. I thought a headcount might help. I still think we should have a 2nd place so I can get a plaque someday!:D

Since you appear to be canvassing the neighborhood for slabfesters, do you have Darryl Cole's phone number? I had it somewhere but...anyway, last time I talked to him back in the spring, he was interested in getting his group involved with ours. If you have his number could you call him, etc about Saturday. If you don't have his number maybe Flycaster or someone else can help?
Also - how come we don't have a last place trophy? Trudy and I would be at least 3 time running champs!

Don

I'll have my camera and will post the pictures.

Up2Specks will be handicapped. He is fishing with me and training this senior citizen.
