... seems like this get together may just be the ticket to get us together on GRL. I accept the seat, if it's still open.

I'm assuming that, since most wanted to fish this early & launch at Holmes Bend ... they must be accustomed to fishing the river end SO, since I'm more accustomed to fishing on the far other end, and a little later in the month, and casting jigs to the banks ... I'll defer fishing style/method to you, and just follow suit
Any special equipment/supplies I need to bring (other than rods/reels/tackle/PFD) ??

... cp

I'm thinking we just go loaded for bear. I'll bring everything we need to spider rig or pull. If you want, just bring your spinning tackle and favorite jigs, in case casting a jig is a better ticket. That should be all you need. I'll have everthing else, cooler in the boat, pfd's, net, etc....

It's been a while since I've fished Green, and mostly always fished for those toothy critters. Real familiar with Holmes Bend area, so maybe we can figure something out. Looking forward to fishing with you.

I've got the day marked on the calender, Let's hope Ma nature cooperate.

I'll be there !!

Let's hope David is on fish, and willing to let all of us in on depth & cover being used at that time

I'll bring about 4 rods (suitable for rod holders &/or casting) ... couple of small tackleboxes ... snacks & drinks (I travel light ) I can rig for minners, jigs, casting, trolling ... or any combination thereof ... so we should have that situation under control !!

10-4 on cooperation from "Ma" :D

Cya on the 10th

... as of right now, it's still a go.

I'm thinking it will go down something like this :

0730H-0830H ... meet/greet/launch

0830H-1300H ... Catch Fish

1300H-1400H ... clean fish - set up cooking camp - cook meal

1400H ... Chow down, socialize

Thereafter ... fish more, or head home

We'll finalize plans next week ... as far as the times, things needed & whose bringing them. But, we will still be open for more people to show up ... right on thru til April 10th

... cp

this is the list of people bringing cook out preps/food :

Wannabe fisherman - paper plates, plastic forks/knives (spoons ?? )

BadBrad - fish fryer, oil, hushpups

LittleJohn - baked beans

Crappiepappy - elec filet knife

Let me know what else you want, or can bring, and I'll add it to this list.

NOW ... a more pressing matter : Does anyone know if there's a place where we can set up this cookout, or will we have to rent a campsite (w/elec) ?? Is there a fish cleaning station, or will we have to clean fish at the cookout site & pack our "trash" (guts, used plates/utensils, cans, etc) to a dump site ?? They do have a Picnic Pavillion ... but I don't know if we have to rent it, to use it, or if we have to be "staying" there (camping/lodging) to use it.

... cp

I'm good for the plates forks knives spoons and cups
If that is a state park I think all you need to do is contact them and reserve it. Tom Sawyer State Park is almost in my backyard and they don't charge ther, at least I don't think so, but you do have to reserve.
I'll bet KYTeacher will know.

You might want to bring a filet knife. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

... cp

Here's the current list :

Wannabe fisherman - paper plates, plastic forks/knives/spoons

BadBrad - fish fryer, oil, hushpups

LittleJohn - baked beans

Crappiepappy & Slabdaddy - elec filet knives (others are welcome to bring theirs, too)

------------------------------

We need someone to bring a large bowl (or two) to put filets in .... and someone to bring some yellow corn meal. If we're going to have French Fries ... we'll need another cooker/oil & the fries And I'm not saying we "have to have" French Fries ... just sayin' that, if we want them, we'll have to have something to cook them in (as well as the Fries, themselves.) I'm good with fish & pups ... but, will leave it up to you guys as to what else you want to bring.


And .... EVERYONE .... remember to bring your cameras :D (and fresh batteries ) Nothin like seeing a bunch of good pics, to help further the idea of attending these get togethers !!
