Thanks Mike :o :D , I would gladly take a nice cushy job near the Narr Bay water instead :p

It is a lot of work but it also is worth it - not financially - but by the friendships I've made and the people I've met because of the site. And I also like seeing some of the other friendships that some have developed with people they never would have met had it not been for this site. That's what makes it very cool. The camaraderie, good times had by many, friendships, and some awesome fishing opportunities! Thanks again everyone.

i met some great people through this site.some i have fished with and others i haven't yet. can't wait till next year for the get togethers at M & D's.thanks to all who helped make this year one of my best. and to those who help make this my #1 fishing site, thank you!!!!

JohnR,

You have done a tremendous job with this site!...

:btu:


I run a disc jockey service on the side when I'm not fishing & would like to offer my services for an evening get together sometime over the winter months at the Tiverton Rod & Gun Club.

All we have to do is to have a number of people sign up, agree to bring a dish with them & perhaps a $10.00 entrance fee to go toward maintaining this site...

Sponsors can bring some of their creations & hardware with them as well... perhaps some people would be willing to donate door prizes?...

If anyone likes this idea, and it's okay with you John...

Let me know.

Thanks for all that you do in making this site the success that it is!




:D

That sounds pretty interesting Don - anyone else like to comment?

Don this sounds great and I would be more than happy to help set it up and keep it on track if you wish. I for one would be glad to pay the ten $ and bring something to eat.

S-B's own little fishing show???? :D


....sounds interesting.


Maybe someone can bring a Kareoke machine...:D

:btu:

If we can all get together to bring the raw materials (ie, uncooked food), I'd be glad to organize the cooking part on site; as long as its a Sunday or Monday. I could always switch off for a Saturday. as long as there was enough notice...
Later,
Rick:happy:

Don, i like your idea also. It sounds like a plan that could come together :th: So, when is it? :D

We all need to find a date that works for everyone.

I also need to check the schedule at the Club so that I can book the date.

Would a Saturday evening be okay? or would others prefer a Friday night?...

GBOUTDOORS,

Yes, and thanks! ...that would be great!...

:D


Once we pin down a date, we can begin to plan out the event...

What timeframe sounds good?...

Once we decide, I'll try to book the hall...

Any Ideas?...

Sounds like a good time to me. :)
My vote is for a Sat night!

Rob

Im going to cry !!!!!!!! :crying:

...here Chris............wipe your .........











EYES!!......:D

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww! is that stuff used ?

only if needed..........unless you have some soft leaves!! :eek:


...or an old fishing rag :yak:

John R,

If you can pick a night that I'm in town, I'll donate a video presentation that could help draw a little outside as well as board community support.

Call me and we look at the calendar.

Mike

Damn.....

WHERE'S RHODE ISLAND ????????

sounds good to me!!!! I vote for saturday night...

Don could you get the dates that the club house would be open to us and we can get this set now so ALL from the board can make time to show:happy: :happy: I think a Sat evening would be the best but what ever they have we will make work. Let me now soon so you and I can get together on this right away.

I wont be able to make it to the plug ho ( plug making )party at slips , My Bro is coming in from Fla and I have to pick him up at the airport . He doesnt fish and lives and works right on the beach in Panama city :confused: , My older Bro lives on a lake in TX and the other bro has a pond in his back yard here in Ct and Im the only one who fishes . all I have is an abandoned septic tank . :confused: :confused:

February sounds good in my book .

John:

Looks like I might not be going to the Rod Crafters workshop after all my partiner cancelled out.

Chris, spent a summer in PCB. Nice place. Knew one guy who would row out a bonita with his rubber raft and catch sharks with a big MF boat rod. Liked fishing, but spent my time chasing other things back in my early 20's :humpty:

Kareoke device, hmmm sounds interesting. Then we could all hear John give his rendition of the Repunzel (Rebuta) song. Last time I head him sing "and let down the ladder of your love" he sounded like a budding rock star. :cool:

You guy will be bringing SO's right.

i will bring venision chops and venision hamburg lol!!! is this going to be planned for signifacant others too, dance music with you guys hmmmmm!!! let me know date and what you need food wise put me down for real "meat" steak tips or id make my famous pepper onion sausage mix!! now where talkin this is well worth it for all ive learned here thanks john for an awsome site!!!

Mr Macey,

That sounds Great!...

We have full use of a kitchen for this event, so anything that you are willing to bring with you would be greatly appreciated!

The 8th of February will be the date.

JohnR will post details soon.

I'll finally get to meet you!

Don:D
