WHAT UP MY BROTHA!,Calicatman here.Hey Daystarchis I would like to attend the wife and myself, but I hit a little snagg.From the last post you mentioned the gathering will be on the 26-28.The problem I`m having on that weekend, my band(SLED) and I are playing two back to back shows that weekend. Besides being a Calicat hunter ,I`m a semi professional drummer.I would surely hate to miss the gathering .As soon as you find the dates can you inform me so this way my wife and I can attend.I just got back from doing a small tour in sur-cal and central-cal(Bakersfeild):cool2: :big_smile:

Hey Robb,
thanks for the invite, I am really wanting to make one of these gatherings unfortunately I am already comitted to taking my daughter to Bishop for a graduation fishing trip. I will be watching for the next one tho.

[daystarchis]

No problem Steve:smile2: I know we will have another one before soon. I will keep ya posted. I sure want to get over there at isabela this year. Keep us posted on that lake bro. A lot of big cats over there.

[hopnbrly]

It looks like it will be a small gathering again.If any brother has a chance to you should make this one,.I dont know but personally I think that the chance to get good food,fellowship,AND a fishing trip makes it worth my only vacation of the year,

[daystarchis]

I agree Lloyd. Great food, fellowship and fish. If the turn out is small, I will take you and the others for a night on the river at the honey holes. Big fish every where. The slough is producing cats around 5-8 lb right now and stripes are goin around 20-26 inches. Gonna be a great time again LLoyd:smile2:

What Robb no steak and lobster? :dribble:

[hopnbrly]

Im not sure if i will show up on friday or saturday that all depends on the work situation and if my wife decides to attend as well.She likes the thought of coming but.She has a aversion to using nature to relieve herself(my little darling is looking over my shoulder so I had to phrase it that way)My dog is a definate show and will sleep next to me in my truck as she has done many times before.Heck that dog has to take care of my drunk butt.As far as what to bring give me some ideas.A durable goods such as charcoal,soda,bugspray,Ect.would help since Im not sure if I am showing up Friday or Saturday.

[daystarchis]

Here is what is needed so far.....

It also depends on who and when folks show up. Maybe we should just bring what each of us will eat and put it together? What is all your ideas?????

[cliffey07]

hey rob i will not be able to make it i am heading up north thursday after work i forgot about my grandparent 50th wedding anniversary. sorry

[daystarchis]

No worries bro:smile2: I know we will hook up again soon. I will have them pics up soon. I need to have them put on disk, since my down load cable is broke:sad2:

[hopnbrly]
