Sounds cool to me, I think everybody should at one time or another host a gathering, but I'm not sure how many folks you will draw with the National going on this year. I'm absolutely not trying to discourage you, but I know in my case I'm staying close to home saving money to go to the national gathering, figuring fuel to go back up this summer and the general expense of everything.
All you can do is put it out there and see how many say they will come. It's been my experience (Rocky Point and Turtle Creek Res.) that only about 50 to 60% of those that sign up, show up.
I wish ya good luck and many participants, but sorry, I'll be sticking close to home waters untill the National in September. If you have any questions or need advice from past experiences, feel free to pm me, I'll help ya out any way I can.
Curtis, Just pick a site that has what you think fits everbody's requirements best, then pick a date that works best for fishing in the area of your site. Post it up, and sit back and see what shakes out. Remember, everybody has an opinion, you cant make everybody happy, and mother nature will screw your eyes out and it is your fault (at least you will feel like it is, lol). Just set the plans, and hope for the best.
Hint: at Rocky Point we did a community pitch in meal/b.s. session one afternoon before everybody hit the water for the evening. It worked out great and had everybody together at the same time for a while.
It sounds like you are off to a good start Curtis. I wish you fair weather, lots of participants, and good fishin. I know I said I was stickin close to home waters until the National, but dont count me completely out, I may just have to pop in and see how it's goin, lol.
P.S.
If Shane Combs, aka Whiteriverblackcloud shows up, break out the rabbit's feet, juju beads, and find a gypsy woman to ward off the evil spirits and bad luck that follows him around. LMAO!!! The last time we got together, about six of us, three trucks, and two boats were nearly taken out by a freak rogue truck incident. Beware! LMAO!!! No, really dude, I'm serious! LMAO!!!
Sounds Like fun!! I want to come!!!!! Me Too! Me Too!!!!!!:sinister:
Oh and its Mr. Shane Coomes aka The Worlds Greatest Catfisherman or WhiteRiverBlack Cloud... LMAO! And I lost a flashlight defending those trucks and boats!!!! haha
