Missed plug fest, but will be attending....hopefully we'll get a record turnout this year...who's going?

try my best

try my best

Ditto.

a record turn out would be insane. always loved to years it was packed!

I'll be there with the usual suspects. Hess family, the greek kids from Brockton, SKD, and eelskimmer. Oh ya, Bubba (backlash).

see you there

I gotta be there. I think I won about 400$+ worth of stuff at the raffle last year. Plus, I gotta tuck Ricky in shortly after dinner.:buds:

If either one of dose Greek Brothers wins
the rod again this year there will be blood
at Bubba's table. And that the truff!!
:fury::smash::wall:

Unfortunately I have to bang out,I have too much Family stuff going on.

the greek kids from Brockton

You know them ?? :err: I didn't know they were on the boards ... ?

They aren't
but been reading it for 10 years
even my wife Melissa knows Jimmy :wave:

Our regular table of 5-6 will be there.
I will take is easy on the raffle this year. :)

Can't make it. Going to San Fran Monday. Might be coming out of retirement. I have 4 different job offers.

I will be there.

First time in two years I won't be in China the whole month of February.

Wendy and I will be there. Have to break the luck of..."The Table"

Can't make it this year......don't want to empty the cookie jar in February

Might be coming out of retirement. I have 4 different job offers.

That's Great news on a couple levels Paul ..... (economically speaking) and then again.....
not so good from a (i get to fish all year stand point) hmmmm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
still ............ taking it one day at a time here...

i will see if anythings left over in the cookie jar.... :huh:

lately: ya buy a bar of soap and its the size of a fig newton :hs:

O K I'll bite. What is it???

O K I'll bite. What is it???

You get the chance to hang out with all the folks here....eat, drink, and tell fishing stories...its a great night.

Most importantly you get to bust my chops for 2 or 3 hours while recanting all our old chatham inlet stories to the unknowing masses...

There's a great raffle too, and usually some kind of slide show or other form of entertainment.

What time does it start?

I'm pretty sure we start setting up at 6:00 and the festivities start at 7:00?

My wife said she wants to go with me. I think she wants to make sure there really is a STRIPED-BASS.COM! :rotf2: Is there anythink we can bring to help out?

I think she wants to make sure there really is a STRIPED-BASS.COM! :rotf2:

Oh no, we're all doomed....tell her its been cancelled...I'll call the foxy and let them know we don't need the private room for 70 people...:laugha:

I knew this wouldn't last...:hang:

yeah, I'm terribly conflicted. My wife actually told me she likes having me around all the time. The only reason I am considering coming out of retirement is because I have been totally bored this past month. If I can get through March without making a move, I think I will be fine.

It's not a question of economics. We have always lived very frugally. The house is paid as are the cars and the school bills so it's just day to day expenses. As long as I don't buy the 26' Edgewater with the twin 250 4 Stroke Yamis, I' m fine.

Paulie
You F $%^&*() nuts .

you are one of the very few that [can] retire ................Do ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I doubt if there is a 2nd time around :fishin:

Thanks Mike. I'm leaning toward staying retired. I will make my decision tomorrow. If I do I will cancel the San Fran trip and maybe see you guys at the TFCTFN

Might be going, but is anyone bringing their kids, my 5 yo might be coming if we can't get a babysitter.
