Thread: Crappie-Pa-Looza at Crescent

Did I miss something, were there dates chosen? Is it Saturday and Sunday then based on the votes?

I'm with you Slab. It would appear that way from the poll. Chances are I can only get one day anyway but will get there to meet everyone I haven't yet. I'm praying that the cold snap will turn them on or at least up a notch.
Prayers for Terry and Ginny. Not knowing is draining. God Bless them both. Never met them but they seem like the kind of folks I'd like to spend some time around.

Prayers sent.

Ok - guys - what is the final plan ?
Come up Friday morning - meet a few, start fishing around 9:30 am till 3pm,
meet for dinner just plain companionship - Saturday run normal fishing
7am - 1-2 - weigh in spend time together - leave for home.

Or plan 2 come in on Saturay - same run through as a Friday meet,
than on Sunday - fish till Noon - weigh in: contest wise have a daily winner
and overall 2 day winner...............

Just curious - what final thoughts. May try and make it for my first time ...

Sorry for the late post but been on the water most of the week with no internet access. Looks like Sat/Sun is the most popular vote but a few votes for Fri/Sat.......So here is what we came up with...Several of us will be there on Friday and those of us that are there will be going to eat at Cork Bells in Palatka on Friday evening. Saturday evening we will all meet at 3 Bananas in Crescent City. Bull Creek Boat Ramp on Dead Lake also has a good restaurant that might be of interest for lunch for some folks. If anyone is interested in a Fruit Jar Tournament, chime in and we'll go from there. It is only 2 weeks away so make your plans and we'll see you there!!!

Well, if we're not creating an actual schedule of events, here's my deal. Minimally, I'm bringing the Master of Ceremonies (Sir Billbob) with me Saturday and we're gonna fish in the morning. We will be done by 1:30 PM and we will be at the Crescent SUNRISE Boat Ramp to take pictures and give out stuff at 2pm. Stuff is: 2016 calendars, and a prize for best picture. I will be taking pictures of who-ever wants me to take their picture (with fish) and I will decide on a winner at 3 Bananas (later when we eat). Must be there at 3 naners to win. There will be a first and maybe second place, and even a third place, we will see. Best picture is gonna be totally subjective. Bring pets, wives, sons, daughters, who knows what will make you win. Bring a costume maybe even. Speckanator has a good one you might be able to borrow. I may even slide show the pics and we all vote at Bananarama for the winners. Who knows...

Prizes might be BnM fishing rods, or Crappie.com goodies (hats, shirts, Boonies...) or something else from one of the sponsors. I will have to see what I have, but it will be worth your while.

Billbob will be available to autograph Billbob Coozies (also available till I run out). Not sure when I will break those out, either at the park or at the Bananarama but I know Billbob likes to be slipped dollar bills for autographs! lol

Having said that, wifey got me running a 10K Friday Morn so the only chance to go to Crescent might be for that dinner at Cork Bells in Palatka, Friday evening. But I can't promise to be there, I might be recovering from that 10K! lol

Thanks Slab - An agenda - direction -
Is it safe to say we could start fishing in morning hrs - 6:30 upwards, just be at
dock by 1:30pm..............on Saturday.?
If i can locate partner - will try and make it -presently hard to handle boat by myself
due to physical restraints.

Bueller?

No response to my post in three days, what it's only gonna be me and Billbob there. Oh and Harold. All taking pictures of each other at the City Boat Ramp. No feedback, no interest, or just no Internet?

Well, at least if it's only the three of us I have a better chance of wining one of my own contests! And I won't have to carry as many giveaways.
