• Toledo Bend Gathering--tons of fun!!

    I really enjoyed everyone. The pavilion/lodge worked really well for the group we had. Perfers shiners told me this could be really big, and we can do it - just as big as those boys in Mississippi and Arkansas do theirs. Us die hards can stay there, and others as well as overflow can stay next door at Wildwood where are more modern conveniences such as internet and television are available. First set of pictures:

    Banner and ditty bags:



    The pavillion/lodge for the gathering, good group of folks:

    Congradulations to MOslab and freebird for the big fish. Here's mine for Saturday (didn't weigh in once I saw freebirds). Still purdy though. All mine caught on Donnies's crappie logic gnats with a shiner of course.



    Bruce, Ann really enjoyed visiting Didi. Thunter, your family/friends are a riot - lots of fun. Danny, your pecans pies were wiped out before I had any, bummer . Dr. Tal and his son really enjoyed it and wiil be back if this becomes an annual event.


    And Paw Paw "Gene" posted the following:

    I wish I had more skills at taking pictures and a better camera but it is what it is. Sorry if a couple are out of focus or blurred. I also didn't get everyone that was there so please some of you other picture takers, post your photos. I apologize in advance if I've gotten names wrong but please correct me for the record. When we're having so much fun it hard to remember to take pictures sometimes but at least we tried to give y'all some idea of what you missed.

      I might have to venture over the border next time you Louisiana folks put on another feedbag. Congrads. These get togethers sure make some good friendships. Where was BillBob? There were some ladies there he hasn't hugged.

      Me and my wife will definitely be there next year. Couldn't make it this year as one of our sons was visiting us from 29 Palms, he's been a United States Marine for about 10 month's now.
