Scallen....

 Are you in the AOTY????

 You would have that 1st monkey off your back...

 and I'm sure you could use a Hobie tote bag   

Yahoooooooooooo... looking forward to this. I'm thinking about bringing some nigiri and teriyaki chicken. Is there a grille at the boat house or do we need to bring something to cook on?

See you all there,

Freddie

Dude, check the board I'm #7..... first fish I ever posted to AOTY..

I've tried to enter each year just to contribute, but this year I guess I'll pursue all the species as well.  Maybe you can help me out with those pesky LM and SM bass.  Not wuite my area of expertise, that right there.

Allen

See you there!

I'll be there with the wife and kidlets too.

Will also bring a couple gaffs for the AOTY prizes.

Sounds like fun... good choice of location.

All,

I mentioned this in another post but figured this may be a large gathering. What about a tackle swap? Since we all have gear we don't use. Sorry don't meet to pile on just thinking out loud?

a grille at the boat house or do we need to bring something to cook on?

they have grills and picnic tables - I'll be there early enough to reserve a few tables for us BUT please bring your lawn chair just in case. I will bring the NCKA pop-up tent in case weather turns bad - if any of you have an extra one, please bring it just in case. THe water in the lagoon is very low right now and the water is muddy.

Gear swapping mentioned by ewb would be a good idea - I some stuff to unload too!

*there are bathrooms there as well....

That's a neat idea, but I'd recommend that anyone going and interested in doing a tackle swap should first post a preview of items with pics in our classifieds section first.  It's a bit more work, but you're likely to get a better deal and more exposure.

Sounds like a plan....I will take my pic's and post later today.

might as well do a head count and what we're bringing to the pot lok...

I'll be there bright and early to set up and do some paddle boarding (company welcome) and I will bring some "home made" lumpia.
