Ya this does sound like a blast. This will be my first kotc gathering. I'm sure as [PoorWordUsage] looking for to it and meeting some other cat guys. Everyone asks me what I fish for and when they hear catfish I either get the stink eye or the why would you want to do a thing like that. If they would ever give it a chance and come out and hook into a big boy they would also be hooked.

[Whisker Warrior]

No I don't work there but they have the best fresh brats in town especially the wild rice ones.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

So how many are we expecting to show. You can mark me down for four

[AceintheHole]

It's sounds like we are going have a good crowd maybe 30+

[wastewaterguru]

I am out of town that weekend unfortunately for family vacation.

It just happens to be the only weekend for the rest of the year that I have concrete plans for........which really stinks cause the same thing happened last year.....it was on the only day for the whole summer that I couldn't go.....cuz the wife had bought concert tickets about a month before the gathering date was announced???

Hope you guys catch some big ones.......should be a pretty good time although I haven't been to one in a while so I wouldn't know.

The last summer catfishing gathering I was able to go to was in Carver about 5 or 6 years ago.... I vaguely remember it being a good time. That was the night I met Mr. Special and a few of the other guys that I still fish with.

No offense guys but a once a year event like this should be pretty easy to plan a little more than 5 weeks out.

Let's go ahead and pick the date for 2009 so I can put it on my calendar.

[harvey lee]

Sorry for the short plans John. Most if not all of the time, when we plan any outing like this with a large group, there are members that cannot make it due to other family or personal plans. Normally I would not do this but since the Papa grump and John cannot make it, I will offer this.

If we were to move this one weekend later to the 26th, is there anyone who could not make that day?

Please state below if you cannot make it and if all can, we will change the date.

[AceintheHole]

Sound good

[Shack]

Sounds fine Tom.

At this point, if it helps WWG and it sounds like it might put less stress on Papagrump, I am all for it.

[DTro]

That day will work for me as well. The only issue I see is that the BPCL is on that Fri. I can probably swing both nights, but there might be others that can't.

I'm sure it's going to be tough to find a day that doesn't conflict with anyone schedule.

[harvey lee]

I figured that if I were to try another date this would be the end result. We will stay with the original date and go with that.

Sorry to the guys that it won't work for.

[AceintheHole]

Saturday July 19 date set. Maybe we can have another later for those who will miss this one.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ya that would be cool with me. I'm not missing this one but I sure as heck wouldn't miss another. Well if we were to set it up around the begin of sept. I might miss it, My kid is due then. so are we keeping it for the 19th?

[AceintheHole]

Sat. July 19 is the date

[harvey lee]

That is correct, the 19th stands.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Sounds good to me I already have that day off. So what else needs to be brought out. I have a large propane grill and two 8 1/2 foot tables that I'm bring anything else needed from me.

[AceintheHole]

Just any food and drink that you want.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Well consider it done

[hanson]

Good call Tom.

Unfortunately, you'll never be able to please everyone. Just have to pick a date and stick with it.

I've organized too many Get-Togethers so I'm glad to see someone else step up. I'm done with the planning side of GTGs, I'll just show up and have fun. Less headaches and hatemails that way.

If they keep running the karts like they did last night, I'll find another track that knows what they are doing and race the kids elsewhere on a different night. Burning up all 3 right rears last night at 60 bucks each, now that's stress.

Trust me, the Shuttle Service will be in attendance, stress free .

[ec30_06]

Put Papa down for two. I'm sure he'll bring a soldier with him

[harvey lee]

Good to see that your all coming.

Brian, thats The way that track is run. One never knows what one will get from night to night.

[Sandmannd]

My folks might be down from ND that week. I'm still coming but I may be able to bring my Pops out with. He loves fishing and never caught big cats. Would be a blast to see him hook into one. Chris, there's still gonna be room in the boat for you.

[AceintheHole]

That cool. Looking forward to meeting him if he makes it down. The more the marrier.
