A couple additional thanksā¦
Thanks to Terrier and Pat for nailing down the pavilion. It was a hot afternoon and that shade was nice. Thanks to Phil for the salmon candy. Good stuff! And thanks to Sandy for jumping in and just making things work better. And, thanks for the history lesson about the area!
This was a very enjoyable get-together! It was great to meet Phil, Quill, Terrier, Dan/Sandy and Bass Yakker. Also great to see Andrew, Marty and Pat again.
Good backstrap medallions, summer sausage sandwiches, jalapeƱo potato salad and burgers. You know the food is good when every fly in the county shows upš
Fishing wise: you all know I typically target only the big fish. But for this trip I thought Iād try this micro fishing everyoneās talking about. Of course I was wildly successful. š¤Ŗ
Itās not a big deal to bring the tabletop griddle. Iāll cover the burgers and buns.
Iām looking forward to meeting new folks face-to-face and seeing some old friends too.
Trying to pin this down reminds me of when a friend and I broke open a thermostat and tried to corral the mercury.
I may just get 11 Happy Meals and call it good. 50-50 McNuggets and hamburgers. š
I'll bring enough hamburger to make double smash burgers for about 10 folks. I'll pick up some buns too I guess.
Dan is saying 1:00, but I'm not clear where we're sposta be.
This isn't an overnighter -- just several guys floating and then them, and a few non-floaters, meeting up for a quick gathering afterward around Galena.
I'm going to drive down Friday evening, stay overnight and wade fish in the area Saturday morning. Then I'll head over to the meeting place. I plan to head home Saturday evening.
Alright, let's get this nailed down:
Are we meeting at Y Bridge Park in Galena, around 1:00?
What's the head count?
What's on the menu? Backstrap medallions & ?? Hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, chips, beans, condiments??
I'm happy to chip in wherever.
