Greetings Members of Catfish1!

The 2022 Indiana Gathering will take place on September 23rd thru 25th, 2022 at They're Bitin' Campground in New Amsterdam, IN. The address is 7623 Middle Street, Central, IN 47110.

To reserve your campsite please contact the owner, Kathy, at 812-732-4935. She is a busy woman, so if you don't reach her please leave a voice mail and she will return your call.

Tent Campsites are $15 per night with electrical connections. RV slots are $25 per night.

A few items of note:

• We operate a big fish contest, details will be disclosed at a later time
• We rent a porta-potty for the camp, as the existing outhouse can be a challenge. Details on the chip in for the rental will be disclosed at a later time. The total cost has been around $130 for the weekend.
• For the past few years we have done a group cookout on Saturday afternoon around 4pm. Nothing fancy except for the fish stories. Kelly told a really good story last year! LOL!
• This gathering is for anyone who wants to join us, please bring your friends and family!
• New Amsterdam is literally the end of the road before you drive into the Ohio River. It is a beautiful little town that the world has forgot, a perfect place for some likeminded folks to gather and share a weekend together on what I think is one of the best stretches of the Ohio River.

If you can join us please make a post on this thread and I will compile a list as the event draws near. Hope to see you in September!

A little side-note on New Am. The sign on the way into town shows that it was established in 1815. For reference, Indiana didn't gain statehood until the following year. It's been around awhile.

Do you suppose we can talk Kelly into donating a bottle of those “gypsy tears” he was using for the drawing? Haha

I imagine he guards that bottle closely!

 

[Glass lord]

Well as dad said I’ll be there lord willing!

 

[typer181]

Right on Danny! Great to have met you at the CatCon! Didn't realize this was you till you posted the message above, lol!

 

[twaskom]

Eric, Danny seemed like a really nice young fellow when I met him. He stopped by to pick up a 6.5 engine I had. I know he is trying hard to turn it into a mud motor before his dad makes him put it on a lawn mower and has him mowing the yard.

 

[Jesus Saves]

I like the way you think Tom!

 

[Glass lord]

Pleasure to meet you too Eric I didn’t realize you were the one who organized the gathering every year!
Tom I can’t I have these allergies it prevents me from mowing a real bummer. My only remedy is sitting by a river or lake it’s a crazy condition very rare haha!

 

[twaskom]

Haha, my son thought he had that same condition. Amazing how that happens mainly to younger folks. Lol

 

[Glass lord]

I think it’s probably all the chemicals in the food anymore it’s terrible! Haha
In all seriousness though I do have some TLC yard work to do this summer my wife and I bought a house and there’s stumps to grind tree work cables/chains to get out of the yard and the grass is in sorry shape probably gonna cut out more of my fun time but at least the kids have a yard to play in!

I'm in the same boat. I have a fence to remove, trees to trim, and little ones running around, plus work. When I go fishing it's nice because no one needs me. Except the fish. Actually, the fish don't need me either! I'm just trying to trick them.
